August 12th, 2011-
Some time last week I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Norah, a gorgeous little girl with a full head of dark hair. She made my heart melt just a little :) I did a maternity session for her mama and papa, Gina + Nik, a few months ago. They decided to wait to find out the gender but had already chosen Norah as their name if they had a girl. It’s the perfect name for her!
We started outside…poor little thing was confused a bit by how bright it was :)






I just love this shot…


I found these pom poms, left over from a baby shower. They made a great backdrop!






Norah wasn’t into the “baby in a basket”!




My favorite newborn shots seem to always include the new mommy and daddy!






The end! Aren’t you proud of me for blogging when I’m moving this weekend? Yep. I’m crazy.

Baby Lyla {St. Louis Newborn Portraits}

August 1st, 2011–Lyla is the newborn daughter of Travis and Megan, who’s wedding I shot almost exactly 2 years ago (Many of my clients will recognize them from one of my sample albums!) I have quite a few clients who are pregnant these days, and nothing makes me happier when a past client hires me to photograph new members of their family!

For my newborn sessions, I try to do a lot of lifestyle shots, mixed in with some cutesy posed shots. I’m not big into squishing babies into uncomfortable positions…they are just so fragile. Natural is best, but I’m not opposed to putting a baby on a shelf or in a funny hat :)

Lyla gave me a bit of the stink eye. hehe. We had quite the time getting her to go to sleep…
Megan was glowing, just a few days after bringing her new baby home…


Oh, those lips!





I look forward to capturing more photos of Lyla as she grows up!

Last Spring I photographed two Zipfel kiddos…who happened to be two of the cutest kids I’ve ever worked with. This summer a new baby was added to the family and she couldn’t be any sweeter…

Big brother and sister are so good with her…


…and each other! If they are always this good, their parents are very lucky :)


H. got bored with our shoot and decided to fix himself breakfast…and I caught him in the act!

The happy family!
She was a goooood sleeping baby…
Love the scrunched-up face!

Favorite!
Mom and baby…can you believe she JUST had a baby?

Little fist-pump for dad!



Window light is always so lovely!

It was great to see you all again! I love seeing your kids grow up!
