I feel so lucky to get to cuddle, hold and kiss these sweet little babies so I don’t have to have another one of my own.  I get my “baby fix” without the sleep deprivation!  ;)

Miss “E” did such a great job for us.  She was already 4 weeks old because we had to reschedule twice.  But after we wrapped her, fed her and rocked her for a couple hours, she slept just like a newbie!   Mom and Dad are both school teachers (which I admire so much) and they are overjoyed with their new little angel!

I think she’s smiling at Daddy!

I think this is my favorite one – tiny little baby, beautiful mommy, such a special moment.

Little miss “C” arrived a little early and she is the sweetest thing with a full head of hair and silky soft skin.  I had so much fun photographing her – and mom is so relaxed – she let me do whatever I wanted!  ;)

Mom (and Dad) have their hands full with these two beauties – just wait until they are in high school!

Miss “C” gave me so many smiles during our session.  Sometimes she would even open her eyes and smile.  I think she really likes me…..

Miss “A” was so great the whole morning.  She loves her baby sister and she even did a few poses for me.  Beautiful!

You can see our last session HERE.  Thanks mom for allowing me to capture such precious moments for you.  Can’t wait to see you guys again!  :)

I got to meet this precious little girl on her DUE DATE because she was nine days early.  Mom and Dad are calling her their Christmas gift – and what a special gift she is.   I feel so lucky to have a glimpse into the early days of new babies and new parents.  It brings back memories of my experiences with both of my children (good & bad) and reminds me of just how quickly the time flies by – and how amazing these teeny, tiny, wee ones are.

Meet Miss “A” and her perfect little angel lips, fuzzy baby hair and tender soft skin.  And yes, I just had to give her a little kiss while I held her….  ;)

The jury is still out – Gators or Bulldogs……..

I kept trying to curl her little legs up under her (which most babies love), but Miss A wasn’t having any of it.  She would instantly stretch her legs – and even prop herself up on her knees.  Adorable right??

Oh my goodness, this little guy was sooooooooooooo sweet.  I have to admit I was a little nervous since mom called me when he was already about 10 days old – so I fit him in my schedule ASAP, but he was just over two weeks old by then.  That may not seem like a big deal to most people, but as any photog will tell you, the EARLIER THE BETTER with the newborn pictures.   Mr. “M” proved all of my theories wrong and slept almost the entire time.  He curled up so cozy just about anywhere I put him.  LOVE IT!

Mom and Dad were awesome to work with.  They were very relaxed for first time parents and they let me “do my thing” which is so fun for me!  Aren’t they cute??  :)

And a smile from mr. handsome…..

My favorite….  I love the little hand dangling.

Okay, I’m a little partial because she’s my dear friend’s baby – but isn’t she sooooooo sweet?   I was there when my friend met her *future* husband (it was my birthday, but I won’t tell you which one) and now I got to be there to photograph one of the most amazing times of life – the first few days with their sweet baby girl.  Meet Kaitlyn.

And just for fun – a little before & after shot.  The little pumpkin was due on Halloween – but she arrived a little early.  ;)

Can’t wait to see her again!

This little guy was as sweet as could be.  He was awake for most of the session but hardly fussed at all.  Mom gave me a project – to get a picture of his dimples.  Dad gave me a project – to get a picture with the GEORGIA gear!  We accomplished both – yeah!

First up – a pose mom wanted to try.  :)

Ta-da!  Dimples!

Mom and Dad were so sweet with their little man.  What a beautiful family!

Dad, forgive me — I promise I have other pictures for you, but this one really speaks volumes.  It was the end of the session and we were playing the “passy game” with poor Mr. B so that we could get a few final pictures in his Georgia attire.   This is how he felt about the whole charade!   He fell into a nice deep sleep after this……
