Pregnancy can be a whirlwind of emotions for many expecting mothers. Whether you’re going to be a first-time mother, or you already wrangle a crew of little ones, those nine months can seem like a rollercoaster of ups and down for even the most experienced women. At the beginning of pregnancy, exhaustion hits like a...
Oh my goodness, just look at this little princess! Baby Thanyaa came to my studio at five weeks old, and she was the most beautiful little baby model. Normally newborn photos are taken around the two-week mark when babies have not quite stretched out yet, and they usually snooze through all of the poses and...
I recently returned home from a trip to Los Angeles after attending an inspirational congress for photographers called “Baby & Kid.” This conference and trade show included three amazing days of total immersion in different areas of the photographic business, specifically centered on baby and childhood photography. Attendees heard from world-renown keynote speakers, participated in...
This gorgeous mama-to-be looked stunning in deep shades of blue, teal, and violet. Mercedes is a talented model, and she is expecting her first baby girl! Well, actually, she already has a pretty special fur baby girl named Louis (after Louis Vuitton) who debuted in quite a few of the photos. Louis seemed to know...
There’s never a bad time for newborn photos. Every season brings inspiration for adorable newborn sets – sunflowers and beachy scenes for summer, brightly colored leaves and little pumpkin outfits in autumn, and peaceful snowy scenes and holiday cheer during winter. I really don’t have a favorite and look forward to them all. But right...
There’s nothing like the look on a new mom and dad’s face as they stare into the eyes of their brand new baby. Such was the case with little Kennedy here. When she came into my studio to see me for her first of many sessions (I hope), she was only seven short days old....
Do you know the Hans Christian Andersen tale of The Princess and the Pea? A young girl arrived at the home of a king and queen late one stormy night to get in out of the rain. She claimed that she was actually a princess despite her waterlogged state. In order to determine the truth...
This little guy has already experienced so much in life at only eight days old, and he doesn’t even know it! He snoozed through the whole thing. In this newborn session, baby Salman dressed as one of the Mickey Mouse Disney crew, a world traveler, a bookworm, a movie director, and more—quite the Renaissance Man!...
The biggest thing that drives my passion as a baby photographer is capturing those first few sweet, monumental stages for families: pregnancy, birth, and first-year milestones. All of this goes by in the blink of an eye, and I love photographing the magic and wonder of it all, making sure this time is documented in...
The strength of sisterly bonds starts from the very beginning, sometimes even before birth. When an older sister hears that she will be getting a baby sister, her whole world changes. Little girls love the thought of having a built-in soul sister. Someone to play dolls with. An ever-present best friend to share late night...
