They arrived in early July… and here they are just 6 days old. You might remember their Mama’s maternity session on the beach, it seems like the other day to me and before I knew it, they were here! Photographing newborn twins can be twice the work, but they are twice as fun and twice as sweet. I love how they settle down to sleep so peacefully when their sibling is near. Most of these were shot on the very same blanket that Mom had wrapped around her in her maternit session…
And it’s so cool how, even at just 6 days old, they each have their own unique personalities…
One of my favorites from the session… that’s a little smile there…
Congrats again to the B family – you have a beautiful family!

And the winner is: Dean! Well, actually, Dean’s mommy. She won one of a few prizes I donated to the lifamilies.com Bridal Luncheon this year. When I donated a complimentary newborn session – I had no idea it would go to someone already expecting – so I put an expiration date of 2011 on the gift certificate. I was absolutely thrilled to find out it went to someone already expecting and very deserving. J & V, you are a lovely couple and now a beautiful new little family – congratulations again!

My jaw dropped when I opened the email that said “well, my son came about 5 weeks early…” I’ve gotten my fair share of early newborns but 5 weeks definitely wins the prize for earliest. Baby C was a healthy 6lbs 4 oz at birth and as strong as any full term baby. But he was putty in my hands, so cooperative, and a complete pleasure to photograph. Congratulations R & T on your beautiful baby boy!
My husband and I went on a quick weekend getaway a couple of months ago to New Hope, PA. We stayed at this excellent B&B and I picked up this vintage cranberry crate while exploring the local antique shops… it’s a new favorite for sure and Baby C was so awesome to let me try it for the first time. It’s now my new gallery wrapped canvas sample (photo of that coming soon!)
He was also really good in my twiggy basket…

It’s been a whirlwind month – is April really over? Where did it go?! Oh yeah… to the chubby feet and squishy faces of the all the newborns I was lucky enough to photograph this month! With only a minute to blog tonight – here she is… all of 19 days old, my “oldest” newborn yet: Miss Layla. (Love that name!) Look at all that sweet chubbiness… M & C, it was so nice working with you and M – my thoughts are with you! Thank you so much for letting me into your home to photograph your gorgeous newborn baby girl.

She kept me on the edge of my seat. As far as newborns go, I like to think I get a feel for when they will arrive. I’ve done dozens and dozens of newborn sessions and I think I’ve only had one arrive on exactly on his due date. Elizabeth’s older brother was born several weeks early and so Mom and Dad were fully expecting for his baby sister to make an early arrival as well. It was all a matter of keeping her in there cooking as long as long as possible. Almost every other day I would ask for an update – the suspense was killing me with this little girl! She did come early but safely so and she and Mom, Dad, and big brother were all doing great. Elizabeth gave us an awesome newborn session – but lets start with her big brother and his gorgeous eyes that made me gasp when I pulled them up on my monitor to begin proofing their sneak peeks…
And his little sister – irresistible in mouse ears!
Got my first chance to use my twiggy nest basket – I searched high and low, left and right for this basket and finally scored! I’m in LOVE with it and how it photographs…
Just one more of this cutie…

Amanda was welcomed by her three older brothers (that’s right – three!) 3 weeks earlier than her due date… although this was no surprise to Mom who fully prepared me for her sure to be early arrival. Twelve days old and right around 6lbs for our session, she slept like a 6 day old and was an absolute dream to photograph. Congrats to the B family on your beautiful little girl!!

Tik Tok…ending off March with the last of my Top 40 Billboard post titles 
This little girl earned this title because she had me (oh, and her Mommy & Daddy too, I’m sure) waiting…and waiting…and waiting for her arrival. She decided to join us about 2 weeks past her due date… apparently she was waiting for St. Patrick’s Day to make her grand entrance into this world. Yes, yes, I am falling behind on my blogging…it’s been quite busy over here… if you’re curious what I’m up to you can follow me on twitter… I’m much better working on getting better at that too! Anyway, back to baby S… 
She stayed in that position through several “warddrobe” changes…and then later on gave me one of the best newborn-with-eyes-open shots I’ve ever gotten. I mean seriously – that’s even a little smile right there!
What you might not know is that I while I send my clients a few sneak peeks just a couple of days after their session, I love to surprise them with a few extras here on the blog… So K & B – enjoy your extra sneak peeks and congratulations on your baby girl – I don’t have to tell you both, but she was worth the wait even for me!

Newborn photography is challenging in and of itself…. but it is also so rewarding. I love when the parents challenge me with ideas or bring in elements of themselves, their lives, their personalities and ask me to incorporate them into their portraits somehow. It gets my creativity flowing and results in the parents getting a truly personalized session with personalized images that mean alot to them. This was my second time photographing this family…in fact, you might recognize Dad’s tattoos as a photo of him and their newborn little girl had a home on my website for many, many months… now it’s time to update it with this shot of her brand new baby brother… J&P, congrats again!
Dad is in a rock band… I actually got Baby G SMILING in this one!!
One of my favorites… he just looks so content…

I present you with my first set of newborn twins! Aren’t they delicious? What was it like, you ask? It was dreamy! During a typical newborn session there is some downtime when we stop for a feeding or cuddle from mommy but not with these twins… my hands were full of squishy newborn goodness the entire time and I loved every second of it! It was really cool to see how, at just 9 days old, their personlities were already so evident and so different. Big sister, older by just 1 minute, was the fiesty one… she was spirited and vocal about it! No matter… a full belly and a toasty warm room and she was putty in my hands. Baby brother was the most easy going, sleepy, and content newborn I’ve photographed, I think. He would’ve let me photograph and pose him all day without a peep. This was one of my best experiences photographing newborns and I’m so glad it was with twins because I’ve got two more sets on the books!

An 8×10 is a desk print. It may sound big, but it’s not. It’s actually a bit smaller than all those pieces of paper that sit on your desk. So why settle for that on your wall? When it comes to prints I am all about wall prints and wall print means going big. This is why I reconfigured all my collections for 2010 last year. My collections all include a wall print 11×14 or larger. Custom photography is an investment and I really want my clients to enjoy the benefits of that investment on a daily basis. When you come to me for a session you leave with more than great captures of your baby, your child, your family – you leave with art for your walls. It’s the way your photos were meant to be seen – be it bold color or rich and creamy black and white – it should be big! Standard mount, standouts, thin wraps or gallery wraps – I love them all. I’m in the process of redoing one of my walls so I will have some photos to show soon (*tapping foot waiting for canvases to arrive*). In the meantime, a very talented photographer, Amy Ro, has a blog post with fantastic photos where you can see exactly what I mean. Take a look and tell me you don’t agree that bigger really is better! http://amyrophotography.com/blog/2009/12/bigger-really-is-better-providence-photography/
