I always recommend newborn photos to take place anytime during baby’s first 10 days of life.  This typically ensures that I capture the sleeping and curled up poses that you see on my website.  After that fleeting stage it becomes close to impossible.  Well, this little peanut was closer to four weeks new and proved to be an exception to the rule.  She was a champ and slept quite soundly for the most part.

I was recently asked to photograph a pre-teen for her to submit head shots to a local modeling agency.  She was such a blast to work with and she made my job seem simple!  As you can see below she is more than qualified to work professionally as a model.  She knows just how to pose and express herself in front of a camera.  I rarely had to give her any direction…she just worked it like she’s been doing this for years.  Any modeling agency would be lucky to work with her.  Here is a small sampling of my favorites.  Many more to view on my facebook page.

Hope all you mommas out there had a wonderful and relaxing Mother’s Day weekend!  Being a mom has been the most amazing yet challenging experience for me but I wouldn’t choose to have it any other way.  The Lord has blessed us beyond measure with two very healthy, smart, joyful and beautiful children.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a sweet and beautiful family of four.  The weather couldn’t have been more perfect for our outdoor session at Fox Run park.

As always, visit my facebook page to view more from this session.
