{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.

{Seras} New Hampshire Newborn Photographer

Today I traveled down to Hollis to meet one of the most beautiful baby girls I have ever laid eyes on! Little Seras is just a month old {still in that newborn stage} and is soooo dainty and sweet! We started off in her nursery, then moved to her Nana's house where I set everything up in front of a lovely gray wall and was able to use some amazing props {such as a fabulous basket and super cool swaddling cloth that I coveted} brought by Amanda. I also got to test out a new round wicker basket I picked up the other day, as Seras fit perfectly in it. I'd get about 15 mins. or so with Seras asleep before all of my posing would eventually wake her up. I'd then take some of her awake, she would nurse, be handed to Nana to fall asleep, and away we'd go again. I swear, I could have photographed that tiny sweetheart all day!

Amanda + Seras {and Nana}, thank you all for inviting me to photograph your amazing baby girl! I can't wait to show you the rest!

{Dave + Victoria + Simon}

I know I keep saying this, but I truly cannot get over how fast the babies I photographed last year {many of them starting with maternity sessions} are growing up! Sunday I went to shoot yet another one of my awesome clients and barely recognized the fast-approaching 1 yr. old before me. Simon was now scooting all over the place, walking around the furniture like a champ, dancing to music, and chattering away. I snapped as he played with trains, scooted off the backdrop paper in about .02 secs. flat, ate Cheerio's, posed with his lovely mom and dad, and rode on his rocket--just to name a few. It was a blast--pun intended! I have so many favorites from this session and still have a ton to edit, but here's the sneak peek.

Dave, Victoria + Simon, I truly loved seeing you guys again and capturing yet another milestone in Simon's life! Can't wait to come back and get some more!
