Most of the infants I photograph are in their first days of life.  And while they are squishy, adorable, and cuddly, they are quite uneventful.  I love newborns (because I don’t have to stay & get them to sleep), but I forgot how fun the other months were too.

I got to photograph little Brayden last week with his lovely parents.  What a bright-eyed little guy!  He was a little wary of me at first, cried some – probably because I kept putting a big black camera in his face – but warmed up after a little nap.  Thanks, Mom & Dad, for having me.  Your little man was an angel!

With all these girls being born lately, Reece was a welcome change.  Now, he did pee on me several times, and even possibly some #2 action as well.  But hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go!

He was such an alert little fella at only 2 weeks old.  Everytime we put him on his tummy, he literally tried to crawl away!  But his awesome hair & sweet baby chunkiness melted my heart!  See, both of my girls had full heads of hair & plenty of rolls to go with it!

Enjoy Reece’s preview!

If y’all can’t tell who Hailey belongs to, then take a look back at her parents here.  She is totally & utterly BOTH Kevin & Jacqui!  This child looks like both of them so much it is uncanny!

Hailey came right after Thanksgiving, much to her momma’s delight!  She was a big girl, but still a little princess.  Thanks so much for letting me cuddle her, shush her & even change her!  Those are the baby things that never get old to this mother’s heart.

Here’s Hailey….

I so wanted this blanket!  Friend’s of Kevin’s parents who live overseas made it for Jacqui’s baby shower.  She & I both agree we need an adult-sized one, ASAP!

I have to share about this shot.  I got Hailey all warm & cozy, laid her on her tummy facing me with her little tushy in the air, and she turned away from me!  I had wrap myself around a crib to get this.  I think that’s why she’s smiling/laughing at me here…little stinker!

And some for the Caps fan!

I can’t even remember the circumstances under which I met Jacqui.  I vaguely think my mom was her teacher, or something?  Anyway, we know each other now, and that’s what matters.  When I heard that Jacqui & Kevin were going to be parents, I was so excited.  When they asked me to photograph this important moment in their lives, I was over the moon!

Hanging out with these two at Quiet Waters park was awesome.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day, a better location, and they have some of the most new parent-to-be lovieness that I’ve seen.   They didn’t need much direction from me to snuggle, laugh, embrace, kiss, & just love one another – because those things just seemed to flow naturally.

And it brings a little tear to my eye every time I see a dad-to-be like Kevin.  So in love with his girl, and so in love with the little girl waiting to be born.  I can’t wait to meet her, you two!  Enjoy your preview!

I warned my readers on my Facebook page: DO NOT READ THE BLOG UNLESS YOU WANT BABY FEVER.  So, if you get it, you’ve been warned!

This little peanut is Madilyn.  She was born during the same week as Megan.  You actually met her several weeks ago here, but she just hadn’t made her appearance yet then.

Well here she is, in all her sweetness…
