This sweetie is one of my Year in the Life babies. She started out small and now, well, see for yourself.

Fresh Faces Contest Winner!
May 13, 2010With the most unique comments in the month of April, Sweet Little Girl won the voting contest. Please pick one of these for your mounted 11X14 wall portrait.
Our VERY CLOSE runner up, who had more total votes but fewer in the month of April, was Itty Bitty Sleepy Girl. I’ll send you a surprise runner up prize (I mean, you were SO close) so watch the mail for a package later this month!
3 Weeks Old and She’s Already Cuter Than You
April 26, 2010Well, she is. If it’s any consolation she’s cuter than I am as well.
I photographed this little beauty on Saturday morning. She was right in the middle of her 3-week growth spurt and made me work for it but time, patience, lots of food, womb sounds and loud shushing resulted in some final sleeping images that are just adorable as well as some great looks of wide eyed wonder.
Itty Bitty Sleepy Girl | Connecticut Baby Portraits
March 26, 2010I am wrapping up my spring Fresh Faces project and have a pile of neatly packaged prints to take to the post office including some of this little cutie. Isn’t she a sweetheart? She decided to arrive on the scene a wee bit early and as a result was one of the smallest peanuts I got to play with so far this year. You can see her in my Simply Babies gallery too, which I have totally redesigned and refreshed after this winter’s baby rush.
Newborn portraits are such a delight to do. I get to see all the wonder of new life. Sure, I get peed on during most sessions (though not, actually, during this one). And urped on. And now and again I get pooped on, but there is a reason I wear jeans to the sessions and the joy of a little baby is more than worth the many fluids that come out of them. All of which is to say, in the babbly way that lets you know it’s been an interesting day with my twins, that I have the best job in the world.
Breastfeeding Portrait | Connecticut Baby Photographer
January 16, 2010This little guy has met my camera before. I did his newborn portraits when he was three weeks old; usually you want to do newborn pictures before the baby is two weeks old because they stop curling up to sleep and are more interested in looking around and stretching out their feet by three weeks but this guy was the most cooperative newborn shoot one could hope for. That has not changed. Generally breastfeeding portraits are simple with children under three months but older babies pull off a lot to look around. This guy was mostly about the eating, though he worked in some leg stretches at the same time for a little multi-tasking.
I’ll be showing a lot of these breastfeeding portraits at the Connecticut La Leche League conference in April so be sure to stop by my table and flip through the albums (and pick up a copy of the breastfeeding picture book while you’re there – my little labor of love.)
The Cutest Hats Ever
December 29, 2009I just got three of the cutest newborn hats from Etsy. Alas, I have no newborns scheduled until February. *sniff*. Stay tuned for babies in adorable hats!
Wait! You – the pregnant one! Why are you waiting?! Book NOW while you’re still expecting. These hats need heads to sit on!
Little Baby C | Newborn Photography
November 29, 2009This sweet little girl was 9 days old when she came over for a Fresh Faces session. I first met her mother at an engagement party last summer and saw her again – very pregnant – at a wedding in October. And now the little one is here. And, oh, was she an amazing baby. I expect to get peed on. I expect to get pooped on. I expect to spend time basically begging a baby to sleep. But a child who nurses, passes out, and stays thoroughly asleep with no bodily fluid leaks at all? Simply doesn’t happen.
Thank you for letting me borrow your wee one! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. Now I just have to chose which one I’ll put in my portfolio as a Fresh Face…
