This tiny 2 week old brought all the sass and sweetness! She also brought “her big brothers” to be included in her first professional portrait session. (Note* for safety “big brothers” were photographed with an empty carriage. Baby was photographed separately and added in Photoshop)

Becoming a parent for the first time is a whirlwind of emotions, excitement, and new experiences. Amidst the sleepless nights and adjusting to a new routine, capturing those early moments with newborn photos can be an invaluable way to preserve the joy of welcoming your baby. How will you remember?

With the pandemic, it has been a while since I have a a newborn in my studio. I sure have missed the snuggles! This adorable little bundle was fun to photograph! Though he was awake most of the time, he was very content. With newborns you get what you get! As long as baby is not terribly upset, we just keep going. I did get some sleeping shots but, even some that he appears to be sleeping, were just quick blinks. He didn’t want to miss anything! I thought he did great! He is such a cute baby. I just love his little birdie legs! I know he will fill out fast! I’m glad his parents have these images to look back on forever

This little guy was tough at first. He woke up in a grouchy mood and did not want to have anything to do with his portrait session! It took bribes, coaxing and a yellow airplane to get him to warm up! Finally he was a happy and smiley boy. He is just adorable! I love his big thoughtful, brown eyes! One very exciting thing will be happening in his life pretty soon. He is going to be a big brother!! I think he is up to the task! Here are some of my favorite images from his session.

This sweet family has been coming to Legacy Portraits since their now 3-year-old was just a baby!  I just love my returning clients!  Every year around little cutie's birthday we take a photo of her holding her parents' hands.  It has been fun to watch her grow taller and her expressions change from year to year!  She doesn't look like a baby anymore and her personality is crazy fun!!  She put up with me doing her portraits but, all she really wanted to do was drive her Jeep!!  As a fellow Jeep driver, I have to say I love this about her!!  Such a wonderful family! Enjoy

I had the great pleasure of capturing the milestone moments in this little guy's first year of life!  As a baby planner, he came in for 4 sessions beginning at just one week old and completing his last session at one year!  So many changes have taken place in a such a short time!  He has come a long way!  I truly appreciate the parents who make the time to have professional photographs taken.  I know what a hassle it can be to get young children to the photographer!  It is so worth it in the end though!  He now has a beautiful leather covered album documenting his growth and changes over this year.  When his family looks at his "1 Short Year" album, I hope they cherish each image.  Baby Plan graduate!!  Please don't wait too long to come back and see me!!  Such a big boy.  What a great year it has been!
