He melted my heart.....

 

Sweet little Kaysen's session started out a little rocky, but after lots of snuggles by his gorgeous Mommy and me (best job ever!), he fell into a deep sleep and was a dream to photograph!! :) Thank-you Kimberly for the great visit and for the opportunity to photograph you and your perfect little man! <3

Just another day in the office.. :)

 How could I not love this job?! Sweet baby Brylie was a joy to work with. He was so alert for a good chunk of our shoot, but once he fell asleep, he was out! Such a strong little guy too - at just a week old, he was already holding his head up when he was on his tummy!!

If you love this hat (as much as I do) and want to whip one up yourself, you can find the free crochet pattern HERE!

This little turtle shell pattern can be found HERE. Note: I made the hat with this pattern and it was tiny. I have kept it for the teeny tiny babies, but made another hat using THIS pattern (instead of bulky yarn, I used 2 strands of my Bernat Satin)....

 

 

And this super adorbs pattern can be found HERE! Note: I crochet quite tight, so I started my ring with 2 extra stitches and modified a few other things (sorry, I don't remember what else I changed), but this hat turned out WAY too big for a newborn!! Maybe someday I will figure out hat sizes for babies and children alike!! Maybe not.... ;)

Oh, I love baby's teeny little hands in this pic!!!

 

Congrats Kirsti and Vincent on your beautiful baby boy. He is perfect in every way.... :)

It's a small world....

I am so blessed to have met (and re-aquainted) with such wonderful people through photography. What an amazing shoot this was - it was fun, it was emotional, it was the reason I want to do this. And I totally get my baby fix by playing with these sweet little people for a few hours!

I LOVE this rotation!!

And I get to combine my crafting loves - I made this little owl hat for my niece, Hadley, but as it turns out I crochet very tight and it is just the right size for a newborn! :)

I love this close up collage idea....

Did you know that they make them this teeny??!!

I had the absolute honor of photographing the teeniest baby yesterday!! Blake is one week old and just 5lbs, 4oz! He proved to be the perfect little model and we took all kinds of shots with him! It was SO much fun - here's what we did! :D

 

I had crocheted this little turtle shell before a friend of mine had her baby, but it was pretty small on him - didn't even cover his back. It was the PERFECT fit for baby Blake though! For the turtle shell pattern, click here!

 Oh these little feet! He loved to stretch right out, no matter what position we put him in and when he would stretch out his legs, he would cross them at the ankles. It was so cute (& funny)!!

 Big brother Blayton was on the move, but we caught him in a couple of pics. No time to waste with those ones!! :)

My sister pinned a pose like this one on Pinterest and I just had to try it. And with a baby this teeny, it worked out pretty good!

A big, huge thank-you and congratulations to Mommy Zoey and my lovely friend (& Grandma to baby Blake & his big brother Blayton), Janice, for letting me help you capture these precious moments. I feel very honored.... <3
