this too cute matching shirt for daddy & baby happens to be on sale at a pea in the pod! i love sales as much as taking daddy baby photos! This is another great item from Diaper Dude – If your new daddy or daddy-to-be cringes at flowery diaper bags, you should check out the manly Diaper Dude bags. Nothing completes the picture of a combat-ready father like a camo diaper bag!

I enjoy the whole baby and daddy interchange when working with newborns. In my family newborn portrait sessions, I find the most playful newborn photos come when the dad’s in the picture. Dads also seem to be the ones who end up buying the matching clothes! In a recent session, dad made sure baby started out supporting the right team – both came out in Red Sox garb.
This is one of those moments that may never happen again, these two brothers will forever hold a special place in my heart in large part because of this photo. Not only is it precious, but a “moment” later Baby G decided it was time to eat. Needless to say, Mom & I laughed so hard, and big brother thought it was funny that Baby G was on his “chi-chi”. Moments, that is what life is made of ~

From our recent newborn photography session at my Cedar Park studio.
How can you not just fall in love this red-headed newborn beauty? From the top of her head to the tips of her toes, she is perfect.

One of my wonderful sorority sisters, Kelly, had her son early & I offered to take newborn photos of him while still at the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) since many of her friends & family had been unable to see him. Her little man weighed a little more than 2 pounds during his photo shoot debut — although tiny he does have his mom wrapped around his fingers.


This little bundle could have gone home with me! He had such long fingers & toes, not to mention he was just too adorable. The boots belong to his Daddy; he wore them on their wedding day and when they did their maternity portraits as well.
Thanks K & N for bringing the little guy in, it was a great way to spend an afternoon.




Something magical about the interaction between a mom and a new baby. We had a wonderful opportunity with a restless, wide-awake newborn intent on charming mom (and photographer).
this little guy may fit in the palm of his daddy’s hands for now, but i doubt that will last for long ~

meet baby j, she was so adorable and slept through most of her session ~ even with her older brother bouncing around. when they are so fresh and new it is hard to not hold ‘em & kiss ‘em and want to take them home! thanks family j for sharing your new addition with me, she is simply adorable.
