Newborn photography is something that has intimidated me for quite some time. In fact, newborns alone intimidate me. Including little Bryson, the only other newborn I think I’ve even held was my nephew. I don’t know, I think I’m afraid of dropping them.

However, I looked forward to this session for about eight months! I posted some of Bri’s maternity images awhile ago (click here to see those). Little Bryson did not disappoint. He is absolutely beautiful and I’m sure has already grown a ton!

It would figure that he had been sleeping tons, up until his big photo shoot. He must have been excited! We did luckily get a few sleepy shots.

Congrats again Bri and Paul!

Isn’t it funny how easy it is to get caught up in the shopping, baking, and just overall craziness of the holidays? When I was editing these pictures there were a few that made me stop and really see the look in Jaylyn’s eyes. There was just absolute wonder. It is amazing how absolutely impressive everything is when you can look at it through a child’s eyes.

On top of that, this was such a fun session for me. I don’t get to see this little girl near as much as I would like to. Living 800+ miles away definitely makes it hard. When my brother, Kristin, and Jaylyn came out to visit us in June we had so much fun with her (well with Brian and Kristin, also). She has so much personality! Her laugh and wrinkled nose would make anyone giggle right along with her.

Can you honestly look at this smile and not smile back?

I can just hear her saying, “Who me?”

I’ve been busy lately. Funny thing is, before last week it wasn’t even with a camera. I’ve had card designs and album work, essentially tons of computer work to get caught up on that had to be back in time for Christmas.

I have gotten a few sessions in, however. In fact, this last Saturday I did a Christmas Mini Session for Lauren. I have to say that I luck out with seniors. Not only have my seniors all been beautiful girls and handsome guys, they are all super well rounded students. Right after we finished this session Lauren was off to her choir concert (talented, too). I still can’t believe how many shots we got in about 45 minutes!

I think Lauren looks like she could have just crawled out of an Abercrombie ad in this shot.

One of my favorite parts of  a session is scouting out the locations I may use. Nothing beats finding an old rusted out wall that makes the perfect backdrop and that no one would ever suspect.

I love golden light and sun flare. Right before Lauren had to run for the concert we jumped into this field, right at sunset.

We completely lucked out and got one of the prettiest December days we could have asked for. I hope you enjoy these Lauren!
