I had a lot of fun this weekend at our mini session event. Now I’m already looking forward to next Saturday when we host a second round of minis!  Heather and I work really well as a team. It was kind of funny how we ended up just jumping into whatever role was needed at the time. We switched between shooting, editing, burning CDs and all the other little things that make up an event like this. It was fun!

It was also great that we had our friend Tara there as well. Tara owns Three Little Bows, which makes adorable little flowers, headbands and hats like the ones these cuties are wearing…

If you want to jump in on the fun this next weekend, just click the logo below!

Molly Joy, 4 Days Old {Lake Geneva, WI Newborn Photographer}

I went to college with Ben, so it was pretty cool to be able to see his family now that it has grown to 5 (in less than 5 years, no less!).  His youngest was just born and her name is Molly Joy. Isn’t that the cutest name? It fits because she is such a [...]

I went to college with Ben, so it was pretty cool to be able to see his family now that it has grown to 5 (in less than 5 years, no less!).  His youngest was just born and her name is Molly Joy. Isn’t that the cutest name? It fits because she is such a pretty baby.

She was not interested in sleeping, so I went back the next day to try to get some of those sweet sleepy poses. The top left photo is what I got. Ha! (Is it just me, or did she grow overnight?) She was so alert and was watching me intently (or eating). I am not complaining… I love newborn eyes, too! And aren’t her little yawns the cutest as well?

Salvador, 8 Days Old {Rockford, IL Newborn Photographer}

Recently I decided I would really like to add more newborns to my portfolio and learn the art of posing a newborn. (Let me tell you, it is difficult!)

Recently I decided I would really like to add more newborns to my portfolio and learn the art of posing a newborn. (Let me tell you, it is difficult!) I enlisted the help of another wonderfully talented photographer and friend, Heather Wilson and then spread the word that I was looking for a cute model to practice on. I got a great response and pretty soon I got an email about a baby boy who was born on December 29th. His name his Salvador, or “Sal,” and his mom was gracious enough to allow us to come to her home and do a practice session. It took four hours!! But we got some beautiful shots and I am quite happy with the results. I am looking forward to using some of the posing methods that I learned at my next practice session, which will happen fairly soon (mom is still pregnant).

I was excited to use the hat in the photo above because it’s one I made especially just for this session.

I really love how this perspective shows how small he is…

This one is probably my favorite expression. He looks like he is having a funny dream!
