Newborn Photos: Lakyn Rose, 3 weeks old October 11, 2009

I got to visit my cousin’s family and welcome her new little baby girl into the family. :) Lakyn Rose is just three weeks old, and is such a little sweetie. I could have held her all day! We grabbed a few photos in their home (since it was 30-something degrees outside!), and Lakyn did such a good job (so did big brother Mason). Here are a few of the photos:

I also took a few photos of the new brother, who is now two years old. :) Isn’t he adorable?

And one of the two together… how sweet!

And a few of Lakyn and her mom. I think she’ll love these when she’s older.

We took one quick family photo on the front porch! 

Congratulations, Rebecca and Dustin! :)

Newborn Session: Lucy, 3 weeks old August 4, 2009

You might remember little Lucy from a few weeks ago, when I got to visit her in the hospital and capture a few photos when she was less than 12 hours old! I was really excited to go back and see her again at about 3 weeks, and she was wide awake and so alert! :) I went to Lucy’s home for these photos, which were all taken in her parents’ bedroom and in her nursery. I love these at-home sessions!

Look at her cute chubby face!

I took over one of the cocoons that my awesome sister-in-law Leslie makes… I love the softness these have in the photos of newborns, and the babies LOVE them. They’re so snuggly and warm and help them feel cozy during the session. :) I couldn’t decide which facial expression was the cutest out of these, so you get to see them all:

Of course, we took a few photos with the new mom and dad!

(I adore this next one…)

One with just dad… 

And one with just mom (I love this one, too).

A few of Lucy in her extra-stylish crib:

Mom and dad wanted a fun photo with their wedding rings (they’re getting ready to celebrate their one-year anniversary in about 2 weeks!). Lucy’s tiny little toes could hardly hold the rings. :)

Oh, little Lucy, I can’t wait to see what a cute little girl you’re going to become. :)

One Month Old: Kherington’s Newborn Portraits April 25, 2009

Favorite baby photo ever… see above. :)

Little Kherington was so good during our photo shoot yesterday. She turns exactly one month old today, so her parents scheduled her newborn session just in time. :) We did the session in their home, which is always the most convenient for parents of new little ones and it’s just more cozy that way. :)

Kherington is so beautiful. Here are some of her photos!

See where she gets her good looks from? Yep, her super cute parents. That baby has some good genes. :)

I love this one… so sweet!

Kherington made the BEST faces for us when she was in her crib. These are some of my favorites — look at that cute face!

Some more photos with her parents… Lindsey and Al are such great parents. This is their first baby, and they are so sweet to her — they love their daughter!

This is a neat mirror that hangs in Kherington’s nursery:

My sister-in-law Leslie is a knitting wizard. Seriously. So when I explained to her that I wanted these warm and fuzzy little “cocoons” for babies to snuggle up in for newborn photos, she took on the challenge and made me a set without a pattern or anything. Is she good or what?! If you want one of these cozy little pouches for your baby, leave me a comment and I’ll connect you with Leslie!

Anyway, Kherington was the first to try out the cocoons and I think she loved them. Perfect, peaceful sleep…

Al and Lindsey, thank you for letting me meet your beautiful baby girl. I hope to see you all again sometime soon!
