Jason + Naomi | Reno, NV Anytime/Maternity Portraits

Pregant women have a special glow to them. Mix that with the extra special bounce in your step you get on your birthday... and what do you get? A very beautiful Naomi.
I met Jason and Naomi a year or so ago at church. I couldn't help but fall in love with Naomi. She was so cute and crafty, and definately someone with a kindred spirit to mine. I knew I wanted to be her friend. Last spring she and her hubby found out they were expecting, and we started scheming about a maternity session.
When we met up this fall to hold her session, I found out it was her birthday! She was so excited to spend her birthday with her hubby and with me, having a super fun maternity portrait session at the University of Nevada, Reno campus. I was honored. I had so much fun spending the day with both Jason and Naomi. Congratulations to the two of them on their new bundle of joy, Lewis who was born on Christmas day.

Abraham + Winston | Newborn Portrait Session {2nd Sneak Peek}

I couldn't help but share a few more of these adorable boys! Joleen and I met up again on Monday to try a couple more poses. Abraham was the perfect little baby and let us move his limbs and little head into all sorts of cute positions. Isn't he adorable?!

** Note: Please do not try this at home. It is a two part photograph. A baby's head is too heavy to be held up by their little arms. **



And here's one more of baby Winston. He really didn't want to stay asleep!

Abraham + Winston | Newborn Portrait Session {Sneak Peek}

The arrival of these two little adorable boys has been greatly anticipated. You may remember their family from the sneak peeks for their Lifestyle Session and a Maternity Session. After lots of waiting, Abraham and Winston arrived last week and are now home with mom and dad.

I couldn’t wait for our session. I found every basket and blanket I could use out of my house (even borrowing some from friends!) I made a list of ideas and starting dreaming about how perfect the session would be. Sleepy newborns, simple to pose with delicate little faces. Occasional cute yawns and dainty little arms stretching for the skies. You know… Perfect.

Well.. the session didn’t go quite as I had dreamed. The boys weren’t as easy to pose as I had hoped. As soon as we got one of the little boys in position, the other would stretch or turn or get uncomfortable. Then when we managed to get both of them posed they’d wake up and need a diaper change or some milk. Enter hairdryer, swaddlers, and swing. We ate some dinner put the boys to sleep and then sat down for round two. As long as the session ended up taking, it still worked out. The boys were adorable, including all the hulk stretches and angry scrunchy faces.

Here’s a sneak peek from our shoot.

Baby Showers and Baby Fever

Remember the adorable sneak peek from last fall for my dear friends Eric and Joleen? They were expecting twins and Joleen was just beginning to show. Well, time flies and now Joleen is due!! (I’ll have a sneak peek of her maternity pictures up soon.) But back in late January we had a grand baby shower for her. And a couple weeks later there was another baby shower for Jolene. Confused? ;] Joleen is expecting twin boys, and Jolene is expecting a baby girl. (They joke that they can’t do anything separate… they even have the same due date!) Anyway their showers were so adorable, and since I had my camera… (how could I not take pictures?).











And did I mention that between the two showers I’ve caught a case of baby fever? Small tiny shoes, adorable little hats.. who can resist? But I'll be getting my fill from babysitting for friends, at least for now. ;]

Baby Enoch | Family Session {Sneak Peek}

This Tuesday I ran up to Sand Harbor for a double family photoshoot. I have to admit, when I received the page long list of portrait shots I was overwhelmed. I don’t “do” shot lists… I prefer to go with the flow of the session and allow my creativity to guide it. But it was a double family shoot, with two sets of grandparents, sisters and husbands, and 6 children… and they wanted specific combinations of people, so I accepted.

The weather was great, the shoot ran a little long, but mainly because I couldn’t help but take lots and lots of images of the kids. Here’s one of my favorites of the youngest little one, Enoch. He has two different colored eyes that are beautiful and big puffy cheeks. So cute! ;]

Ruby + Alisha | Lifestyle Session {Sneak Peek}

Sneak peeks like this make me go awww! Alisha and I did maternity portraits almost a year ago. Now her little girl is ten months old! This past Monday we got together again to do a photoshoot with Ruby. Here's a few images from that shoot. ;]






More to come!
