Ryder

 This big eyed little guy is the handsome Mr. Ryder! He came to see me from the Austin area, so we did his shoot at my studio. He was super alert and curious for a large part of his shoot, but we got him to sleep for a few poses away ;)

His big sister Talia also has an image in this sling!

Could this face be any more adorable?

If you click on this picture (to see if clearer) you can see the sweet peach fuzz his has on his face.

This is one of my favorites of his images, I like how tiny and snuggled up he looks. :)

Future best buds!

Every time I evaluate my workflow for things that could save time or keep me less busy, I think about not shooting maternity portraits anymore. Maternity is a more adult based type of shoot and I'm focusing my business on mostly children and babies. But then I have a wonderful maternity shoot, like this one, and think about how much I would miss them if I stopped offering them ;)

This is JP, he becomes a big brother today! Doesn't he have the most soulful expression in this image? ;)

Congratulations JP!

Caroline

This beautiful baby is Miss Caroline! Caroline was diagnosed shortly after birth with trisomy 13, and while her prognosis is uncertain, what is certain is that she was sent here with a plan and a purpose by God, and that she is greatly loved by her family and quite a few friends!

Isn't this a beautiful bunch of people?

Caroline and her big brother Owen. When I got to their house and started setting up for the shoot Caroline was being held by Owen on the couch and he was telling her how beautiful she looked in her new dress and asking her to open her eyes so he could see what color they are. This boy is going to make a great daddy one day!

And, just promoted to big brother, Nathan and Caroline!

 

Before the shoot her mother told me Caroline's color is purple and I would have to agree! She looks lovely on it! 

Caroline's grandma made her this special stocking and I think she looks very excited about it ;)

 One of the very few times I've photographed a baby while they got fed. In the rest of the images I just took the tube out in photoshop:)

 

I love her little cowlicks! She has a few in the back too and they rather look like curls!
