Everytime I go to photograph this lovely family I am always entertained….and now there’s one more little person keeping me entertained!  Meet baby Maxim!  What a sweetheart!  His big brother and sister love him SO much!  Alexander hardly wanted to leave his side when we were taking pictures of him!

After Max had his moment to shine in front of the camera we went to a nearby park and got some pictures of the whole family.  It seems like Alexander and Gabrielle have grown up so much since the last time I saw them, or maybe it’s because I see them taking care of their new little brother so well!  Enjoy this loooong post :)

Some special moments with mom…

What a little rock and roll baby!

I love these next few of Gabbi!  What a doll!

♥ Baby Jack!

Posted under Newborn

Baby Jack made his grand entrance into the world on May 14 and I was lucky enough to go and meet him when he was 9 days old!  He is such a sweet little boy, loved and adored by so many people! During his shoot Jack was the perfect amount of sleepy and the perfect amount of awake!  It was so cute at the beginning when his eyes were so heavy and he was oh so comfy in mom and dad’s arms.  Congrats Jamie and Tracy!!  Thank-you for letting come photograph this special time for you guys!  And thanks for keeping Birger outside while I was over ;)

Everybody’s talkin’ about cute little Owen, his cute little head of hair, his gorgeous blue eyes and what a little star he was on the day of his very first photoshoot!  It was such a pleasure to visit with him and his parents this past weekend….don’t they make a gorgeous little fam?!  I think so!!

♥ Owen

Posted under Newborn

This family has been on the blog quite frequently in the past couple months, 18 month photos of Mackenzie, maternity photos of Kelly and now finally newborn photos!!  Kelly, Greg and big sister Mackenzie welcomed Owen into their family on Valentines day!  And I got to go and meet him when he was just 7 days old!  FRESH!!  He was so sweet and so was proud big sister Mackenzie.  When Kelly was burping him after a feed Mackenzie helped by giving him a few pats on his back, and then gave her mom a few pats on her back and then gave me a few pats on my back! What a girl!

We took a photo just like this when Mackenzie was a newborn so of course we had to take it again with Owen!  Lets just say it’s a lot easier when you don’t have to keep a 20 month old from accidentally colliding with a newborn! He he.

I am always so amazed and humbled when people hire me to take their newborn pictures.  What an honor to be invited into a clients home to share these very special moments with them.  This photoshoot was extra special for me though, Theressa (mom) and I go way back, we went to the same school starting in kindergarten and we were BFFs in junior high.  It’s so nice how when you get older you can be reconnected through things like babies and photoshoots!  Before the photoshoot I found a binder I had kept with all the notes Theressa and I wrote to each other in junior high, yes NOTES!  Before the days of text messages and emails.  Sometimes we were sitting close enough to pass them to each other and sometimes we hide them in places in the classroom (behind the box to collect the shavings from the pencil sharpener) for the other to go and retrieve.  We were so good at it we never got caught!  And if we did, we were safe, because the notes were in code!  Well years and years have passed since then and now Theressa has her own little girl!  And some day she’ll be the one writing notes (or sending texts) in code about the boy she has a crush on (a long long long time from now, te he)!  It was so much fun to see these two interact with little Addison.  Everyone was so relaxed during the shoot and you could just feel the love and pride oozing out of them for their little (VERY little!) daughter.  Addison did SO well during her first photoshoot, she slept most of the time and could always be calmed down with a little suck on mom or dad’s pinky.

Well, enough of my rambling….congrats Tom and Theressa, your little Addison is a doll!  Thank-you so much for letting me capture these special moments for you!

Much, much, much more to come of little sweetheart Addison, but to tie you over until then here’s just a quick little preview at the session I had with her (and her parents) this morning! (I’m on top of things!)

This morning I went over to meet three week old Grant and his family.  We had some fun taking pictures and his big brother Dylan joined in the fun for a few shots too.  Grant is still so tiny at three weeks old!  He stayed awake for the whole session and didn’t make much noise, just talked to us every now and then and he was always sure to follow his mommy’s voice.  When the sun shone on his hair at just the right angle you could see that it was a little bit red like his dad…only time will tell if it will change or not as he grows!

I love this picture of Dylan…it’s like he’s getting ready to introduce his brother….

“Intrrrrroducing…”

Dylan did a little jumping on the bed when we went in the bedrorom to get some shots.  If you look in the mirror you can see his mom and lil bro.

Love this shot of Grant staring to intensely at his dad.

During my first session with Reid he was the star of the show and we didn’t take any family photos, instead I went back a couple weeks later and we had another quick session.  Reid was a couple weeks older but just as cute!  He was awake for pretty much the whole session just watching what was going on.  I’m starting to think he just doesn’t like to sleep when i’m around because when I saw him at church the next day he was fast asleep!  Thanks for letting me share this special time with you Chad and Lyn!  I remember so well when you guys would hang out in my parents basement with my sister and I was not cool enough to come down…who would have thought all these years later i’d be taking baby photos for you!  Such a pleasure :)
