….not to smile after looking at this first photo!
It was such a delight to photograph this little guy! He was such a little sweetheart, and once mom fed him a bit, it was lights out!!! Here are a few of my favorites from your session, Nikki. I had a great time meeting your family and can’t wait to watch your little man grow! 
(And a huge thanks to Dad…for keeping big sister entertained..which didn’t prove to be an easy feat!;))
I’ll save the best of the best for your gallery!
That first one is great!
beautiful work!!!
lol. you got me! i smiled!
What a gorgeous baby! The first one DID make me smile! His little lips in the second one, awwww. Your really captured his sweetness perfectly. I love them all.
You got me! How can you not smile.
Ever think about doing a tutorial on how you find lighting in others homes? It is natural light, right?
Love the catchlights in the last one.
Sarah- these are absolutley amazing!!! You really captured this special time for our family. We will cherish them always!!!
Thank you everyone!
Kate..it’s actually studio light! All my newborns are studio light. 
Now that is a gorgeous newborn smile! All of these are beautiful!
These are gorgeous! I LOVE the smile in the first one and that blanket is too cool in the last one!
I really enjoy photographing this family…and catching up! I’ve done both their second and third kids’ newborn sessions and their sweet mom took care of my Josie when she was in the NICU, so it always feels like photographing old friends.
Here’s a sneak peek for you all! We got lots of good stuff!

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the first installment of Fashion Friday! If you haven’t read the previous posts, every Friday through fall I will be posting a few outfits that would be great for photo sessions. I’m hoping this will give you all visuals, or a starting point to shopping for your own family. If you love the outfits we put together, I’m including links to purchase them as well, if not, hopefully they will get the ideas flowing.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
TIP #1: Where to start? Choose a patterned outfit for one of the members of your family (maybe a funky floral print dress for your baby girl or plaid cargo shorts for your little man) Pull complimentary colors from the “inspiration piece” as a guide to dressing the rest of the family.
TIP #2: Coordinate, YES! Identical, NO! You don’t dress alike any other day of the week, so why do it for your photo session? The days of solid shirts and khakis are long gone! If mom and dad are both wearing solid shirts, try having mom in khakis and dad in jeans for some added interest, or if you’d prefer to both wear jeans, choose different washes. Stores like Gymboree or The GAP offer great options for coordinating outfits!
TIP #3: Accessorize!! The key to having photos with that fashion flair is to add visual interest with layers, textures, and accessories! Think hats, scarves, sweaters, denim jackets, vests, necklaces, bracelets, etc.
After receiving their new Fall catalog in the mail just yesterday, I thought I would start with one of my favorites, the UK company MiniBoden. Their style is so colorful and fun, I could easily choose one of everything! While the girls collections are so, SO adorable, they have some pretty great stuff for the guys too. Because they are a UK company, this sizing is a smidge different than the US so be sure to check out their size charts before ordering. The good news is you’ll have your order in 7-10 days!
For the fellas:

Love these fashions! Fabulous finds
[...] I’ve been hearing from clients already telling me how much they loved last weeks “fashion friday”, so thank you for the positive feedback. Some of you hadn’t heard of Mini Boden before and I’m sure your wallets will be much lighter after visiting their site! I can never resist either!! If you missed last weeks “Fashion Friday”, you can check it out here. [...]
