K + A = Baby Ames! 2 Sept 2018

This Ames baby was so perfect and squishy it was striking. From the photos I've chosen to show in the preview it looks like she just snoozed her way through the whole session but in truth she was awake most of the time, making her little diva demands, with her fists flying and her manipulative little lower lip quivering. Babies passing gas are always welcome in newborn photo shoots because it brings forth laughs from the adults and smiles from the baby and miss Ames didn't disappoint. Her smile was infectious and her big eyes absolutely loved looking out the window at the world. She can be pensive or funny, sweet or sassy, and little miss Ames brought them all to her first photo shoot.

This shoot was a little bit different than what I normally do for newborn babies. A little more staged and heavy on props but I really love that the props were personal things from this families own history and their own home. The wedding dress, the military fatigues, great grandpa's cowboy hat, a vintage suitcase and mom's pearls all made the cut of props we used. It was fun to sort of put my own spin on these things and I'm pretty happy with the way they came out. Kris (papa Ames) was super helpful setting up little photo stations around the room while mama Alicia served up the milk and kept our model happy. Thanks for inviting me to your home, so glad I finally got to see it and meet the whole family and I can't wait to see how miss Ames grows! Enjoy.

HVH Got A Brother 22 March 2018

A newborn session for the recently hatched Teddy was on the agenda but catching up with my little buddy Henry was also called for. Him with his little sippy cup of milk after a long days work as a State Trooper chillin in the beanbag just kills me. Anyway on to the new baby who is as mellow as they come. Teddy almost slept through the whole session but was kind enough to open up his eyes and check out what was going on in the window behind for a good 10 minutes or more. A professional baby for sure. I love doing newborn session in the baby's new home. It seems so much more personal and stamped in time when you see life as they lived it in 2018. There is a case to be made against timelessness as a definition of photography. Sorry deep side though there. Anyway, Teddy is cute as a button and looks more like his mom than his bro, HVH. These two are definitely going to be a force to be reckoned with I can tell. Henry will lead the charge and Teddy will follow gallantly behind. Enjoy the previews, it was fun catching up!

Theyhadababy Eetzagirl 11 February 2018

It's another girl for the Frischmann fam and the twilight zone is at hand. She looks just like her big sister but with a different hair color! This is always such a fun family for me to photograph. They're so easy going and they have no problem just being who they are. Big sister Carrie serenaded me with Moana's greatest hits while the new Miss Sam was so interested in everything that was going on, she missed her morning nap. She seems super smart to me. Big eyes, smiling already and a tiny mullet make this gal a gem. Big brother pupper Cooper was always close at hand monitoring my access and interaction with his girls which I just love. The robot boots and the pink football helmet, of course, made an appearance. Beautiful job Frischmanns, I can't wait to see how she grows! Enjoy the previews.

Sweet Baby Rae 5 August 2017

This was my first time photographing at that other hospital in town (wink, wink) and it was brighter than I was expecting, although a little outdated. Little lady Rae had her tiny feet facing the wrong way for delivery so it was time to wedge the bun out of the oven. Such a cute peanut weighing in at just over 5 lbs, everything about her felt delicate and small. I love her wild kitty theme, it really goes with that tinge of orange hair up top. She was pretty mellow and just loved being cuddled by her pops. Hope I get to follow up with this fam and see how things change. Thanks for inviting me in during those precious first few days! Enjoy...
