Carson

When I got the email from this lovely family inquiring about a newborn shoot I was a little confused, hadn't we just done a newborn shoot? (I photographed Joshua's newborn shoot in August, and it can be found here. )

After Joshua's birth they felt God was calling them to adopt and to make a longish story short, despite being told the process can take 1-2 years it looks like Joshua is going to be 5 months and come change older than his little brother Carson. Isn't that wonderful?! When God orchestrates things they tend to run a little faster/smoother then when we plan don't they?


This is the big sister Hannah.

This is the big brother Joshua!

He's a super big brother, literally. :)

And the new addition Carson! (We shot Joshua in this dump truck too, it's astounding the difference in babies!)

Nana D was so helpful during the shoot!

Carson was happiest all curled up in womb-like positions. I loved it!

I have a sister who would argue that being a third born is the best spot to be in and I'll bet Mr. Carson agrees.

I shoot a lot of sibling shots, and while I think big brother/ little brother, big sister/little sister shirts are so very cute in person, they are also somewhat difficult to photograph when you have larger amounts of smaller children. You see, the child needs to look cute AND the shirt needs to be legible, which can be a tall order with moving children. This idea I think simplifies the process a little as the numbers are legible even if a child had a hand over the lettering the exact moment their face was cutest for the image ;)



Sweet little man.







Baby yawns are the best!

Sawyer

This shoot was a bit of something new for me. Instead of one objective, to photograph a brand new person, it had two objectives; to photograph Miss Sawyer and to showcase some newborn props the lovely Lauren from Elmel Creations made.

Sawyer and her main man.



Sullivan and Sawyer. Aren't they adorable?



Sawyer and her mama!







Tiny little owl baby!

This one is my favorite, a piglet!













This next wrap is a design by Tie Die Diva, she sells patterns here.







I love her lips!













This next hat was a tiny bit big for her, so I still need a newborn to be photographed as an angry bird ;)
