I feel like waited so long to see these little babies.. Each day I was in full anticipation to hear the news that they were here. These babies- just like their brothers- are so loved with so many family and friends. And if there was a such thing as a SUPER mom- this mom is it!! I admire everything about her!! She is my mommy idol!!

Well because those babies had their own idea of how they were to enter the world, they were delivered at Bonner General Hospital and I was blessed to be able to go in and capture some Pure Moments of these two miracles!

With a house full of boys ( and a pre-teen daughter who doesn’t let me dress her up) I get all gooey when baby girls come into the studio. Yup, you will find me in the corner loving on them.

This little peanut took her sweet time getting here- but she was well worth the wait!!

Nothing is as precoius as meeting a brand new baby!!!!!!! I don’t think I will ever get tired of seeing new babies.

I had the pleasure of photographing this little baby as she welcomed herself into the world

? For more information about Pure Moments – The BIRTHday photo session – please contact Jackie. These images are heart warming and a GREAT collection to your newborn studio session! ?

Have I told you how lucky and blessed I am??? Very much so!!

I am so excited to be able to photograph this momma again who is expecting her SECOND baby.. at this point I do not know who is more ready to see baby- me or her. hmmm Ok, well since I recently had my baby I can say as much as I LOVE little babies, pregnancy was not “peachy” and I can probably bet that this momma is thinking she is MORE than ready to be done!! So, ok, momma- you win

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so glad the holidays are over… I can feel like myself and get back into routine. Which leaves me to apologize to all the clients that have been waiting to see some photos… yeah… I know.. I know.. I suck, BUT- they are finally done

Let me introduce this adorable little man ~ Baby E and sweet as can be.

I truly love my job

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you could see how AMAZING this momma was pregnant, you would instantly be envious. You would find her picture in the dictionary under “PERFECTION”. No Joke!

So it was only natural that I was giddy with excitement to meet their new little one when she made her big entrance. Of course, momma had the best birth story ever and proved it by the most adorable perfect little baby girl.  I really could have just eaten her up

Check out the sneak peek into our session of baby K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lately I have had so many BEAUTIFUL babies in the studio…. Each of them have been so wonderfully perfect- I feel like one lucky gal

Meet baby “C”. Sweet. Adorable. Precious.

A few weeks ago I was asked by another (very talented) photographer Amanda Norisada to mentor her with newborn photography. She is getting ready to move to Wisconsin and wanted to start a new chapter in her life Amanda is so super sweet and TALENTED. She is crafty, smart, talented and beautiful. I personally think you shouldn’t be crafty and beautiful- lol- makes the rest of us look bad lol.

For part of our time together she was able to watch, shoot and do some hands on with my newborn session. But to make the day even more fun, I invited back my good photo buddy, Meshelle. It was a lot of fun with us working all together- but that doesn’t fully explain all the chaos too… I just have to share

so, picture if you will… my cozy little studio, warmed up to a toasty 90 degrees. 3 photographers, 4 ladies, 3 babies ( mine, Meschelle’s and baby C), props and blankets everywhere and the occasional screaming baby. By the end I would love to say that I was able to loose all my baby weight from the heat but I wasn’t so lucky. Meshelle came up with the perfect description of what it’s like shooting newborn photography…… Newborn Yoga!

Momma K was so wonderful as she dealt with our crying babies- ok mainly just my baby and the very warm studio. As we all 3 worked together, we captured some great shots!

So now I will quit my yapping and show you some cuteness!!!!

Momma K- thank you so much for letting us play with your Oh- So- Adorable little man. I am SO happy for you and your family!!

Much loves!

*** plese excuse the nasty photo colors of the images.. some reason the changes shift in posting- BOO HISS**

I was invited back again to shoot at the Talus Rock Retreat and I must say… I wish I could make it my own It truly was a photographers candy store! They have the MOST amazing “props” and colors in the retreat. Ahhhh.. it was breathtaking!

OK… so I was able to meet this sweet lil boy and his super sweet momma. He was the most PERFECT lil baby EVER. My goodness- I have never done a newborn session in record time before, but he was super nice to me and slept the whole time. It was P E R F E C T I O N.

Check out our sneak peek into our session

** J- thank you so much for coming to see me. It was a great pleasure to meet you and your sweet one- and capture these fun images. I look forward to seeing you again soon!! **

A friend of mine, who has for the last 2 babies of mine, been super close in delivery dates… which I think is a lot of fun It is fun watching our kids grow together.

Her little man was born a week after my Jack. I kept hoping she would go into labor while I was in the hospital but no such luck.

But I was lucky enough to have a visit them and snap a few pics of little Isaac. Ok, well he wasn’t exactly tiny. This little one was a 9 pounder- and if you knew this momma you would ask her where the heck he was hiding!

J & G- thank you for letting me capture your little one. I am  so happy for you all

If you have been following my desperate attempt to do photos of my little guy, you probably have heard not only the cries of my kids but also from me lol.

You would think that with a newborn totally at my mercy 24-7 I would be able to get so many cute photos of him. Well, I learned when my now 2yr old was a newbie that it is nearly impossible- especially after trying to heal from a c-section- that it just doesnt happen the way you would think it would.

Since walking up stairs is basically a way to torture myself I have had to enlist my kids to bring down the only thing that would keep things simple. My bean bag and blankets. Now, since we are in our new house, I have this beautiful natural light coming in the living room so I was going to take advantage of that for sure. But let me tickle your imagintion for a moment while i try to explain what happens when THIS momma tries to take photos of her own baby.

So I sit here at the computer with a naked baby all wrapped up cozy… waiting for him to fall asleep. Meanwhile, I have the bean bag all set up and draped like I want it to be and the heater all set up so when baby falls asleep all I have to do is lay him down. Well, just before little Jack drifts off to sleep, here he comes… running in as loud as he can… the trouble maker… the rowdy 2 year old- cute but descrutive. What he sees is a perfect place to jump and roll on… yup, the bean bag set up. So now, everything that I had set up- with my one arm that is free from NOT holding baby.. is all over the floor- crumbled up in a ball. By this time, 3 other kids have made their way into the mock “studio”.. all wanting a turn to jump on the bean bag. So now, baby is no longer sleepy and my blood pressure has climbed a little up more than I want it too. I call daddy for some desperate reinforcement for just a few minutes. Finally, things are quiet again and I try laying the little man down for a few photo ops. I get him positioned.. get his hands just right… grab the camera.. and here comes trouble again.. baby awake- UGH. I get him back to sleep, but its a light sleep. I try to get his hands and arms just right but he is a Charlebois so a little stubborn he is. I can’t get too picky at this point. All I want is to capture his newborn sweetness. Capture those tiny details that seriously grow way too fast! He has that soft fine hair on his face and on his shoulders that will be gone the next time I get to really stare at all his beauty.

The best part of using my living room instead of studio is I am keeping it so simple. No huge expectations for myself to create some breath- taking “newborn photographer image”. Instead, I get to just capture my little man. Simply.

Now, yes, of course, if I had the time, the patience, the help and the energy to be able to pull off a traditional “newborn session” I would but I am keeping it simple

So through the blood, sweat, tears, poo, pee, spit up, screaming and melt downs.. here is my lil’ Jack
