At last… | {St. Augustine newborn portraits}

January 30, 2010 | Filed Under Sneak Peeks | 4 Comments 

This lil’ man decided to make his grand entrance into the world a tad on the early side… more like about 8 weeks early if my memory serves me right. Mom called when he was born and we chatted a bit about doing a newborn session for him when he was able to come home from the hospital. He spend some time in the NICU.. came home and then unfortunately had some illnesses that prevented him from coming in. But AT LAST we were able to get together to do his “newborn” portrait session at 2.5 months of age. He’s still a lil’ peanut for that age but he’s nice and plump :)  Gotta love that!!! And I was really worried about him curling and staying asleep to capture these special moments for mom and dad - but we had a little chat and he drifted off to sleep for a bit and even did a bit of curling up for me!

Congratulations mom and dad on your little man! He’s adorable and so good (aside from the poopie in the lap thing)! We’ll see you soon! Enjoy your little peek!

This baby ROCKS! | {Jacksonville newborn photographer}

January 26, 2010 | Filed Under Sneak Peeks | 5 Comments 

Welcome this lil’ rocker to the world. I was kidding with his parents that I was going to have to title the blog peek something about “rockin’” and I did! Just couldn’t resist given that dad brought his guitar and case to our session to use as a “prop”.  I just love it when parents bring items in from home that have special meaning to them! It’s great to be able to find a way to incorporate that into the portraits and makes them just that much more precious.

We had a great time at this session!!! My friend and colleague from Colorado was here visiting for the week and we were able to play with our “usual” poses but were also able to try out a new prop or two (see the lil’ wooden “bench” below). And this lil’ man was OUT for quite some time (after a little help and a good mess on me). 

So without more yappin’ from me… on with the peek!!!

One in dad’s guitar case along with the guitar. I think next session I’ll have to ask him to play a few notes for me :)

REmember this little guy??

cellon13bw

Well just look at him now!!!

cellon1yr004bw

And would you look at that giggle face? I swear he did this the WHOLE session. Just the happiest lil’ guy ever! All I had to do was shake my hair around and he belly laughed about it… it never got old with him. There were times he had ME laughing so hard I could hardly get a shot b/c the camera was bouncing up and down! And look at all that hair of his!! WOW!~

cellon1yr080bw1

cellon1yr058bwAnd the highlight of our whole session… CAKE TIME!!! Going to show a lot of cake images here.. why? well… you’ll see…

First he was just happy he got to sit here and play again. And was only slightly curious about the cake in front of him. Was more content watching me make a fool out of myself shaking my hair around.

But then mom gave him a taste…. and he wasnt quite sure how to tackle eating it soooo…

cellon1yr121

HA! We were all cracking up so hard!

He was quite conent with the way he decided to eat it at first… and was just licking his lips too.

cellon1yr127And by the time he was done (ok.. so we took it away after this so the poor kid didnt end up with a belly ache) he looked like this!!

cellon1yr143

I still laugh as I post this… just too funny! LOVE it when they really get into their cakes!

Thanks for coming in mom and dad and bringing that sweet boy! We’ll see you guys soon!

Although we didn’t get a whole lot with the cupcakes mom brought in … we captured some great stuff!!! I’m so excited about this session because dad actually painted a canvas for his lil’ girl and we got to use it in the session! WOOT! Now that is what I mean by bring something from home to customize your portraits!!! We had a great time and I’m sure this lil’ peanut slept all the way home! I think we wore her out completely with all the fun things we did! Enjoy your peek mom and dad.. see you soon! Be sure to give me a ring and let me know which dates works better for you for our ordering session.
