My last shoot of 2015 couldn't have been sweeter! This little gal arrived right before New Year's and her family could not have been happier! Big brother Patrick was a bit unsure of his new sister, but like most toddler boys, was easily distracted by snacks and plenty of attention from his parents. I know I say it all.the.time. but I truly love Fresh 48 sessions. Not only are the babies just perfect, the sessions are just so honest. Hoping to fill my calendar full of Fresh 48's for the New Year but for now, enjoy this precious baby girl!

Little Francesca gave me a run for my money in the sleeping department, but she finally dozed off long enough to capture some sweet shots. It was lovely being in this family's home and spending time with them again!

I'd been waiting a long time to meet this little guy. I met his parents over the winter before they even officially announced their pregnancy. Little Niko was feeling a little defiant the day of our session, but after a while he had to succumb to la la land. I actually really love the awake shots - Niko was super alert throughout the entire session and we just went with the flow and captured some really adorable shots. Cannot wait to see these guys again in the future!

I was so excited to do this lifestyle newborn session. When Mom contacted me about newborn photos, I knew a lifestyle session would be the best bet seeing as baby Cameron was already 3 weeks old (posed newborn photos are best done within the first 14 days of life). I couldn't be happier with the images we captured. Pure and honest images of this sweet baby girl and her Mommy. I've got to get more lifestyle newborns on the schedule - it was so much fun to shoot!

I've been getting all the baby girls lately! It seems like there is a steady flow of girls being born, and as a Mom of two boys, I love it! It's so fun getting to use pinks and purples and bows and flowers on these little beauties. Paige was such a little doll. Born a bit early, she weighed in at 5 lbs and was perfectly petite! She was an absolute angel and slept perfectly for me. Her family was just lovely as well and I loved spending time chatting with Mom (pretty much non-stop!) through the entire session. Paige is so lucky to have a big brother too, who I know will take good care of her :)

This little gal was such a beauty. Perfect little features and the best nose I have ever seen on a newborn! Seriously sweet. She also arrived right on her due date so she gets points for being punctual! I loved spending time snuggling her and chatting with her parents about their first week as a family of 3. Ok, enough talking... check out this cutie!

This sweet newborn session is the follow up to the Fresh 48 I posted last week. Miss Taylor was such a good girl for me, although she resisted sleep for a little bit. But once she was asleep, she was out cold for the remainder of the session! And big sister was such a good girl as well! I loved spending time with this family again and so happy to capture such a wonderful time in their lives.

Another Fresh 48 in the books! I simply love visiting families in the hospital to capture the moments following the birth of their baby. I have been photographing this family since big sister Avery was 8 or 9 months old, so being there to capture and bear witness to these intimate moments was that much more special. It was wonderful that the grandparents were there as well, I'm sure Taylor will be happy one day to have a photo of them holding her on her first day of life. I'm photographing Taylor's newborn session next so stay tuned for those images!

I can't believe there are only hours left of 2014! I loved working with so many families over the past year. It was wonderful seeing so many families again and meeting new ones as well. This job is so rewarding and it's all because of my amazing clients. All so beautiful, both on the inside and out.

What a wonderful way to end 2014! Sweet Mia was 7 days old and such a wonderful little sleeper! She barely stirred during the entire session. Even Mom took a little snooze while I worked with Mia! Nothing makes me happier than having a new Mom relaxed enough during a newborn session that she just konks out! It was wonderful. This family is very special and I wish them all the best in this new chapter of their lives.
