“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft agley.” ~ Robert Burns
Being a newborn photographer, I am often asked, “How do you get a baby to do that?”….or, “How do you keep the babies asleep?”
And the truth is, I don’t always. And that’s ok.
Enter little Miss Julia, nineteen days new.
Inquisitive. Content. Loved.
Perfect.

Lily Marybeth is a dream baby. Not just for me as a newborn photographer, but for her parents whose love for her fills their home. You can feel it when you walk in, and you can see it on their faces.
Another champion sleeper, we got a ton of great images and I promised to share just a quick few tonight.
Lucy and Roy, I know how much you were looking forward to seeing these, and I hope I don’t disappoint. It was difficult choosing which ones to blog, but I think these three are a perfect summary of how I will most remember your session. That full head of hair, and the way you both adore her. I am honored to have shared the time with you.

One newborn can be challenging enough to photograph…..two….can be downright difficult.
Unless it’s these two.
Good as gold, they slept for five hours.
FIVE HOURS.
All of my babies are the best, but these two peanuts were hands down the easiest to photograph.
If you are fortunate enough to know Kelly and Mike, you know just how much wishing and hoping came before this special arrival.
Lauren and Danielle are two very special, very loved, very lucky little girls.

Sunday was the perfect day for a drive to Bridgewater, to meet and photograph little Maria for the first time! You may remember big sister Jillian from the maternity session in April. It’s always so cute to watch older siblings interact with the new arrivals, and Jillian was fantastic with her Maria. ♥
I have been chomping at the bit for this little guy to make his arrival. You may remember his gorgeous mama from her maternity session back in January. There was never any doubt that Quinn would be a stunner….the question was, how much hair would he have?!?! Not one to disappoint, I was smitten with his little mohawk today. He was so good to me, with barely a peep.
Unfortunately, Daddy Peter had to head back up North before our session. I’m trying really hard not to take it personally……something about protecting citizens, yada yada 
Tracey & Peter……you should be so proud. He was a perfect little gentleman.

I had big plans for this stetson, but we had to make do since Daddy wasn’t available. I hope you like it, I know how much you wanted this one 
I’m on a roll lately with awesome baby names! May I introduce to you, Finnian.
Isn’t that an awesome name for a little boy? It’s Gaelic for “fair one”….and suits him entirely. Fair in both complexion and temper, I told his mama that he was the most content awake babe I’d worked with.
Proud sister Sophie was equally as endearing. Quiet, polite and charming, she is so obviously enamored with her role as big sister. She also plays a mean game of ‘I Spy’.
Andrea and Craig, your family was a delight. Thank you for having me. ♥
