another new baby

This is the baby of one of my best friends from high school. I did a session with them while I was in Dallas last month. We spent more time catching up than we did taking pictures. Here are a few that I liked from her session. Baby Andrew was 12 days old in these.

twins

This was my first time photographing newborn twins. Their mom was my college roommate. She grew up in Houston and when we moved here, by total coincidence, we ended up buying a house on the street behind hers.

Meet Georgia and Gray. They were born a few weeks early and spent a little time in the NICU, but they came home healthy and still tiny–both under 6 lbs when I photographed them at one month old. I love newborns in black & white.



daphne blue

Daphne Blue is the newest baby in this family of girls. (And how cool is her name????) She slept peacefully most of the time I was there, let me move her and position her however I wanted without a peep, and did not cry once. She woke up a couple times and just calmly opened her eyes and took everything in, then closed them again and let me keep doing my thing. Here she is at four days old.



Babies, babies, babies

This newborn took two days to photograph. The first time I went over, he was having a hard time settling and by the time his mom got him into a deep sleep, I only had about 15 minutes left before I had to leave. So I got a few then and agreed to I’d come back another morning to get more. So two days later, I went back for another couple hours with him. And I still didn’t get to do all the shots I wanted to try! Newborns are not quick sessions.

I had a very hard time choosing which ones to show on here. I wanted to show them ALL. I am totally in love with this baby–he is SO SO sweet. Born at 6 lbs 12 oz, he’s 6 days old in some pics and 8 days old in others. Check these out! How cute is he???



new in houston

I know no one wants to read a blog that is rarely updated. Which is why I feel horrible about never updating. I like people to read what I write. So I guess I better start writing more so people have a reason to check often. :)

I have not photographed too many newborns yet, but I love them. Teensy, tiny, light-as-a-feather babies who are all curly and squishy and moldable…and did I mention tiny?!? It is hard to believe people start out life so small. Just one for now…six days old:
