{Joe + Molly + Pemberley} NH Newborn Photographer

Yesterday, I got to spend time with Joe + Molly, the super sweet couple whose maternity photography session I did in January, and their beautiful new baby girl, Pemberley {oh how I love her name!}. We got to try out a couple of my new cheesecloth wraps I hand dyed, plus Molly and Joe both brought cute little hats and headbands that I adored. While I did get a few shots of Pemberley sleeping, she surprised us with how awake she was. One would think that a five day old newborn would want to sleep through most of her session, but there were far too many things to look at, listen to, and explore! This tiny baby even crawled a bit in protest to being placed on her belly and amazed me by how strong her petite legs are. I would not be surprised if Miss Pemberley is a consummate over-achiever {as her dad lovingly called her}...crawling and walking early, excelling among her peers, and always taking the world head on! Despite all of our "torturing," Pemberley did amazingly well and after a marathon session, I came away with a ton of shots I love!

Joe, Molly, and Pemberley, I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon and absolutely loved working with you guys again {and getting some snuggles in with that sweet baby girl}! I can't wait to show you all of your pictures...

{Haley + Cody} New Hampshire Baby Photographer

Yesterday I got to hang out with the super awesome Jessica + Ron, their incredibly adorable son, Cody, and their new baby girl {with cheeks that I could eat for days}, Haley. Oh how I wish these guys lived closer to me! We ate, we talked, we laughed, and I made a new best friend. Cody was all about looking at the screen on the back of my camera and completely melted my heart when he sat down on my knee so, together, we could flip through the photos I'd taken of him. I also got to meet the gorgeous new addition to their family, whose bright blue eyes, cheeks that will not quit, and a sprinkling of soft, red hair, would make anyone ooh and aah. I had such a great time with all four of them, as always, and can't wait to get together again!

Jessica + Ron, thanks so much for having me over and letting me capture your growing family! I adore you guys! And a HUGE thank you to Ron for all of his baby + kid wrangling, silly face-making, and doing whatever it took to make his kids laugh for me. You did a great job...and got your work-out for the whole week. ;o)

 Her LIPS!




 Why yes, there is a whale on the bed...shouldn't everyone have a whale on the bed?

 I LOVED this dress {bought by her daddy}

 In the immortal words of Jess, "I can't stand it!!" She is too cute!

Sigh...this kid slays me! Future heartbreaker, for sure.

{Newborn Props + Referral Program} - NH Photographer

I am a sucker for anything that can be used to enhance my newborn photography sessions. Blankets, baskets, fabrics, and even pillows, all grab my attention whenever I'm out shopping. While I like to keep my baby photography fairly simple, I do like to jazz it up a bit from time to time. Plus, the babies look so cute swaddled in a wrap or nestled on a fluffy throw inside of a cute basket. Seeing as how I will be photographing some newborn baby girls soon, I felt I lucked out when I came across this adorable patchwork pillow and the ridiculously cute swirled roses fabric. I literally can't wait to try them both out and will be getting my first chance this coming weekend!


Next up, my new referral program has started as of the month of March! I'm very excited about this as I've wanted a way to thank my past, and all future clients, for the wonderful people they've sent my way! From now on, whenever you refer a friend and/or family member who books a session with me, you will receive a $25 credit good towards future session(s) and/or product(s). But that's not all... Your friend or family member will also receive a $25 credit as a "Welcome to my studio!" gift. It's my little way to say thank you for the recommendation and to let your friends and family members know that I value them as well! For more information on the referral program, please get in touch!

Oh...and stay tuned for an announcement about new mini-sessions starting soon...
