Ashley photographed newborn Austin in November. Mom was awesome and came prepared with this great hat! Austin was very photogenic and you can clearly see that in the photos below.
A little over a week ago I got the opportunity to photography little Lila who was accompanied by Mom, Dad, and big sister Carly. Lila did amazing, she slept through the first part of the session (which is always ideal) and at the end we were able to get a few with her eyes open. Meet Lila.
In early August Ashley photographed maternity photos for her cousin Mindi and husband Tim. Since then little Boston has arrived and Ashley got the opportunity to photograph him last night. The best thing that a little one can do during these photo shoots is sleep. Then wake up right at the end before they realize how hungry they are. Boston did plenty of sleeping and Ashley was able to capture Boston in his true innocence. Below are a few of our favorites.
Erin and Evan are awesome twins born on September 1st. They are the children of proud parents Dawn and Josh and sibling to new big brother Carsen. You may remember their family from a recent maternity shoot. Ashley was able to get some shots both at the hospital and shortly after their arrival home. Newborn photo shoots are an amazing time. It is a huge step in the family's life and a change for the entire family. As you can see from the photos below they were cooperative enough to some shots. Newborns make their own rules and you just listen. Congratulations to Dawn and Josh!
Last night Ashley and I traveled north for a photo shoot with 1-month old Hayden. I don't think anyone sleeps as much as this little guy. With newborns you really have to work with them. They are the boss and you just follow their lead. In rare moments they are completely cooperative. Hayden started out a little grumpy, but Ashley was undressing him and posing him...I would get angry too. After a while he was comfortable with the shoot and fell fast asleep. Ashley was able to get him setup and snap a lot of great shots. Congratulations to the proud parents, Tricia and Brian! Below are a few of our favorites.
This past Monday I took photos of newborn Aaron for Mom and Dad, Lindsey and Jeff. They are very excited to have him home from his stay in the NICU. He started off the photo shoot right, sleeping like an angel, but once he was naked there was no getting him back to sleep. After some gentle persuasion, a bottle, and a couple of diaper changes we eventually got him to settle down for a couple of photos. Below are a few of our favorites. Congratulations to the new parents!
Friday evening Ashley and I were in Waukee photographing two-week old Caleb. Newborn shoots always work best when the babies sleep......but they rarely like to do what you want them to. He slept for just a bit and we were able to get some great shots. Below are just a few of our favorites.
