Leona {One Year} | Metro Detroit Baby Photographer

This session comes in two parts.  We had originally scheduled a session on Memorial Day weekend, and wouldn’t you know it, it started to rain. The weatherman even said that even though it was cloudy, we should not actually get rain…. He was wrong.  So, we  took cover and waited until it was clear….then it rained again….on poor Leona and her parents who were picture ready.  So, we had to reschedule.  But, in the little time that it we had, we got some really cute photos of this adorable little Strawberry Blonde!

I do have to say that I love how this first set came out.  Something about that dark overcast sky gave me rich color and an intersting mood.

 Then we finally got a chance to make up the rest of the session.  Different location and lighting, but I love these just as much!

Pinspired from Pinterest.  Leona’s mom shared this idea with me.  Isn’t it cute?

Then we got in some family shots that we weren’t able to get in during the first session. Love the way this family dressed.  Took a neutral color pallet and really made  it work without being too matchy.

Then we moved on to the fun part!  The Cake Smash!!!!  Leona ROCKED her cake smash too!  Isn’t her little outfit adorable.  I wish I could take credit for Leona’s styling, but that honor goes to her mom.  Didn’t she do a GREAT job???

Happy Birthday Leona!!!!!!

 

Nora and Seth | Metro Detroit Newborn Photographer

I have to say that I my reaction when I booked my first true set of newborn twins ranged from a happy dance to sheer panic.  I am only halfway kidding, but I can imagine that it is quite similar to the true reaction of a couple finding out that they are expecting twins!  In all seriousness, these two were fantastic and totally adorable!  Big Brother Seth is a sweet little snugglebug!  He also had some of the best newborn lashes ever!  Little Sister Nora  is a petite and feminine little sweetie that had the most adorable little lip pucker.  Together this sibling duo made for one adorable session!

Serious cuteness overload! I just loved these two!

 I am usually pretty excited when I am able to capture a newborn smile.  I was ECSTATIC when I caught, a smile from not just one, but BOTH babies!  How cute are they!?!?!?!

Of course more cuteness from Nora and Seth!

A special thank you to the parents of these two sweeties.  They are an all around great couple with the patience of saints.  I love meeting new families and they are a wonderful one!

Omg! These are by far the most beautiful pics you’ve taken yet. I may be partial because they are twins but I am really in awe. The one of them snuggling just melted my heart <3 Bravo!

Thank you so much Cheryl!

Olivia {4 days new}

I got to spend my Memorial Day hanging out with sweet little Olivia and her family.  Poor baby had a bit of a gassy tummy and it took a while to get her settled in.  But once she worked out the tummy troubles, she rocked her session!

I just adore everything about this one.  Isn’t she lovely?

Adorably peaceful

Olivia is one very loved baby and I very much enjoyed meeting her family.  Here’s more from her session.

 

 

Marielle {11 days new} | Clinton Township Newborn Photographer

One thing that is certain about newborn sessions is that no two are ever the same.  Some babies sleep pretty much the whole time, while others don’t sleep much at all.  In the middle  is the baby who will give a great run for a portion of the session.  Marielle simply ROCKED the first half of her session.  The second half was definitely more of a challenge, but some of my favorite newborn images came from this pretty baby girl.

 

She was a sweet and snuggly baby. I just loved working with her.

Isn’t she lovely?

More of this sweetie!

These images are stunning. Each and every one of them. I tried to pick a favorite, and simply could not. The posing is perfect and such sweet moments captured! Love the open eye shots, the baby wrinkles and the arms above the head. Beautiful baby captured perfectly!

Jaidean - June 5, 2012 - 1:01 pm

Oh, she is adorable! I love these – look at that eye contact too!

Jac L. - June 5, 2012 - 1:39 pm

Love, love, love them! You are so great with newborns. <3 I keep trying to pick a favorite; but I can't.

Wow, what a sweet little peanut. As a parent… I would have a hard time choosing and would have to get so many prints.

Rebecca Jeanne - June 6, 2012 - 2:07 pm

What a little sweetie!!!! I love all the back wrinkles! Great images!

Manuel {one year old} | Southeast Michigan Baby Photographer

Things have been very busy here and I am waaay behind on sharing sessions on the blog.  While I do have a ton of editing to do, the sun is shining brightly which makes it difficult for me to edit.  Not  because I would love to be outside, but the sun affects the way I see color  and brightness on my computer monitor.  So, in  order to get caught up….

Mr Manuel is a SUPER cute little guy.  His session was also my very first real outdoor session of the year.  I always forget how much I love shooting in more natural environments with nice bright light and room to move!  Especially with mobile babies….they usually aren’t a fan of being confined to backdrops, so being outside just lends itself perfectly for these little ones.

Such a cute little dude!

I normally don’t feature parent shots, these two are just the most gorgeous couple….and so in love.

More of this super cute family!

Tracey - June 5, 2012 - 11:58 am

Adorable!! Such a beautiful family & handsome little guy.

Kelly Gorney - June 5, 2012 - 7:51 pm

What a gorgeous family!!! These shots are beautiful, Jen!!
