Do you remember when your babies would fit in the palms of your hands like this?

Digital Sessions’ Disks

Stacie — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:51:40 +0000

Both the Regular Session and the Platinum Session include files on a disk with a custom CD case. I finally took the time to actually take what passes for product photography showcasing what these look like. One image from your session is on the cover of your disk and one on the disk itself.

* Note: Mini Sessions include files but do not come with the custom printed disk or CD case.

I think I’m going minimalist there with the post title but this adorable baby smile leaves me with nothing else to say other than “Baby.” She is the platonic ideal of baby. She is the baby paradigm. She is Baby.

3 Weeks Old and She’s Already Cuter Than You

Well, 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.

Pretty New Location

Isn’t this spot gorgeous? I did a shoot last weekend for a 1-year-old here and need to remember to schedule daffodil sessions next spring. It had rolling hills of daffodils, old stone walls, old stone steps, paths, a pond (with an island that had yet more daffodils) and then some more daffodils.

3-Week-Old Baby Sleeping Like an Angel

Stacie — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 01:39:30 +0000

Isn’t she just the sweetest thing you have ever seen? The sweetness of newborns never stops amazing me. She was a sleeper, and the last of my Fresh Faces models. I’ve had babies who couldn’t be woken up for love, money or even food and babies who couldn’t be coaxed to sleep even in an 85 degree room with full tummies. That’s one thing you always have to remember about photographing newborns – you just have to go with the flow.

Now this little sweetie was older than I usually like to do newborns; she was over 3 weeks. I like to schedule them in that 4-7 day range as that, usually, makes for sleepy babies who still curl up into adorable little balls. Once they get a little older the shoot can be harder as they are more alert, less, well, bendy and 3 weeks can be a very difficult age as that 3-week newborn growth spurt can result in a baby who wants to eat 20 hours out of the day. As you can undoubtedly tell from her picture she was, despite her advanced age of 3 weeks, quite happy to sleep.

Itty Bitty Sleepy Girl | Connecticut Baby Portraits

I 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.
