All They Want for Christmas {Rocklin Newborn Photographer}

I am so blessed by my clients! Not only do I have incredible clients who are so fun and inspiring to work with, but I also get the benefit of meeting and working with friends and family whom they refer to me. This lovely family was a referral from this sweet family and I had such a fun time with them and their sweet little miracle yesterday!

I got the request to photograph this darling baby J in his 6th week of life so we had to move fast! Normally, the best time to catch babies at their sleepiest (and most pose-able) stages is in their first 5 to 10 days of life. He is way past that, so I was wondering if we would get any sleepy shots at all...but as you can see, we did!

Just look at this little trooper! He was so great and gave me some sleepy time, which was great! He wasn't super into being posed, but who needs posing when you are this adorable? We also were able to get a bit of Christmas charm with the Santa hat sized just for him and I love it!

And Dad has a favorite sport. Can you guess what it is? I always love to incorporate something in the shoot that is unique to the family..other than this gorgeous baby, of course :) I think he is thinking about what should be his first club...

Thanks, baby J and the rest of family M for inviting me in to capture these moments. Your precious son is such a sweetheart and is the very best present to bring you into this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

Introducing Baby R {Sacramento Newborn Photographer}

Remember this beautiful mom I captured a few weeks ago? Well, look at her new beautiful baby boy! At the time of her photo shoot, she thought she would be delivering early as she had in the past with her two other sweet babies. Well, there was a different plan in the works! Baby R waited until he was one week OVERdue to make his debut! But he is just perfect. She was blessed with a short labor and he is wonderful, healthy and thriving.

And here is the whole beautiful family who welcomed him into this world. These are the sweetest, most polite boys around and they love their brother sooo much! Dad is pretty smitten, too.

Wouldn't you be?!

Though he was picture perfect for his mama, he didn't want to sleep much while I was there. Oh, he was such a doll sleeping in my arms, in his mommy's arms, and daddy's arms. He just didn't want to sleep much alone. And it was hard to let him go...still, his cuteness prevailed and I think we got some really wonderful moments captured.

See? I told you his brothers adore him!

Beautiful Creation {Sacramento Maternity Photographer}

This week, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mama in her 37th week of pregnancy. To some, it would seem she has some time left, but considering her first two boys arrived around 37 weeks, this little boy just might come very soon!

Can I just say that she is absolutely beautiful! Seriously, inside and out, this expectant mother is precious. She loves the Lord with all her heart and it shines right through her. Her first two pregnancies were pretty tough, and both entailed bed rest, but look at her this time around! We shot for hours and played and played...starting at her home with her sweet boys and her husband and ending up downtown in an art gallery.

It was so much fun! I love that we were able to capture her participation in the beautiful miracle of life and creation. She does her part very well, don't you think?

I love the background canvas with the pink flowers! While we were out in an alley shooting, Randy came out from the Brick Alley Art Studio and graciously offered us some private Brick Alley Art Studios time in there to continue our shoot. It was such a treat. It had some great light with skylights and of course the art was beautiful. The gorgeous canvas behind this sweet mama was created by Bernie Weston. At the end of our shoot, he showed up and I was able to thank him for providing us with such a beautiful backdrop!

 

Oh, and you know I couldn't resist this precious eyelash shot. This is mama's middle boy. Isn't it always the boys who get these great lashes!?
