I don’t often share other blogs but this one really struck something in me.  This is exactly how I feel and why I do what I do!

Just a quick note before I begin my day, the calendar is filling up very quickly so please, if you are expecting a newborn it is highly suggested you prebook your newborn session to ensure you’ll get a session!  Due to the unpredictability of their birth I only schedule a limited number of newborns each month!  Prebooked newborns always get priority scheduling and those that do not prebook and wait to call me after their baby has arrived will get offered only what I have left on the calendar, if anything.  I’ve been turning a lot of newborns away that have not been prebooked because my schedule has been so full and I hate having to do that!

SO, if you are expecting a baby this June – October I highly advise that you prebook your newborn session with us now!  This will ensure we can get you into the studio within two weeks of birth to get those beautiful sleepy curled up baby portraits that we all love!  Two weeks is a very small window of time when it comes to a busy studio schedule and because of that I will only prebook a certain number due at any given time!

Contact the studio asap to get that done!  Our newborn sessions at the studio are $150 and on location service is also available!

Babies!  Babies!  Babies!  There have been oodles of newborn babies in the studio this spring!  And it appears we are now on a girl trend!  So sweet they are and so much fun to shoot!  Just a quick share here of this little sweet Miss “A” who was in the studio for her very first photo shoot!  She was a tiny little sweet one!

Sweet, sweet, sweet!  Call the studio today to book your session!  It is highly recommended you book your newborn session BEFORE your baby arrives!  I prebook a limited number per month and after that I squeeze what I can in to the studio but, unfortunately, I turn many away that do not prebook!

Have a great day!

Just a quick pop in to share just one shot from this session!  I had the sweetest little bunny in my studio today!  Have a wonderful Easter everyone!

Little Miss “A” came into the studio for a very special session!   She is one very special girl with some very special people in her life that love her very much!  She’s turning one this week so she came in for her very first portrait session and cake smash!  What’s better than capturing your one year old with their very first birthday cake!?  It’s a really fun session and it truly makes memories that will last a life time!  Look at this sweetie!  She was so much fun!

Mama I hope you love this peek!  I’ll be in touch as soon as I have your gallery ready for viewing!

Enjoy!

I am SO behind on my blogging!  I have SO much to share but I’ve been SO busy with non-stop sessions!  There is truly a baby boom going on and there have been so many newborn sessions going on!  I just wanted to pop on to share a few from the session of newborn baby “E”!  She was a sweet as can be!  I just love all these babies!

As a reminder, if you a pregnant please book your newborn session in advance of your baby’s birth!  This will ensure you get into the studio within that magical two week window where newborns are still sleepy and will curl up well for the newborn types of shots!  If you wait until your baby is born before booking your session you may not be able to get into the studio within that time!  I’ve been turning people away almost every day.  Newborn sessions are about three hours long so it’s not always easy to squeeze them in!  Book early!  I only book a certain number per month to ensure that everyone will get in to the studio for their session!  The schedule has been booked up pretty tight right through this year so please plan accordingly!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone!  I have a few newborn sessions to get through this weekend and then I’ll be enjoying my family on Sunday!  First up this morning, egg coloring with my kiddies!  Such fun!

Baby “H” was a sweet as can be!  Just love having all these newborn babies in the studio!  I get to cuddle them and get some sweet photographs of them while getting to know their parents, it’s really a fun time!  I love capturing these little ones while they are still so little and before they’ve changed too much.  As a mom myself I know how quickly they change and grow!  It’s amazing when they come back to the studio a few weeks after their session to view their photographs and they bring their little ones back and to see how much they have already changed in that tiny span of time!  Anyhow, check out baby “H” at her very first photo shoot…as cute as can be!

This family has a very special connection to turtles and they surprised me with this sweet turtle prop!  Thank goodness I have a log in my studio because what’s better than a sweet turtle on a log!

Not sure what happened nine months ago but there sure is a baby boom going on these days at the studio!  It’s so much fun having these sweet little ones in the studio!

These twins were as sweet as sugar!  I enjoyed their session and it was so great seeing their mama’s again!  I hope they are getting some rest!  I cannot imagine having two newborns at one time!  Though I do notice that newborns tend to do much better during a session.  Maybe it’s because they are already adjusted to not being the only one, I’m not sure, but goodness, these two are adorable!  What’s better than a boy and a girl filled with newborn sweetness!  Check out this little peek!

Sweet babies are just piling into the studio right now!  It is truly a baby boom!  Please make sure you book your newborn sessions well BEFORE your baby is born!  I’ve recently had to turn away quite a few people who tried to book sessions after their baby was born.  The two week window of time that we like to get them into the studio is so small that it’s very likely that if you wait until after your baby is born that you will not get in!

Have a wonderful day everyone!
