Sadie :: Scituate Newborn Photography

Today I would like for you to meet sweet little Sadie. I photographed Erin and Mike’s little love about a month ago, and she is just the sweetest little thing. And tiny! Oh my goodness, now that Lily is getting big, I had forgotten just how tiny newborns are! What a difference just a few short months can make!

I met Erin and Sadie at their home, as I do with all newborn sessions, and Sadie was way too curious about this big camera thing to get sleepy for us, but we made the best of the day, and she and Erin did a great job being beautiful and sweet and cuddly. Mike joined us a little later and I was so glad to be able to get some pictures of him with his little girl, and the whole family together. I love photographing newborns, and I always make sure to get some family pictures, too. There’s nothing more beautiful than a new mom and dad holding this brand new precious life in their arms. It’s the most tiring and heart-wrenching job in the world. These tiny people just grab hold of your heart and turn your world upside down. It’s incredible.

It’s been a joy to be able to photograph Erin and Mike’s engagement, wedding, and new little one this past year. I consider myself to be a very lucky lady to be entrusted with documenting such special times in people’s lives. They are a great family, and I wish them so much happiness (and sleep)!

Sadie was sweet enough to give me a couple smiles during her shoot. Is there anything better than a baby smile?

Audrey :: Newborn Photography

I think we could all use some cute baby pictures this week, wouldn’t you say?

Audrey came into the world in early December, making Gina and Andrew’s a family of three. She was so incredibly teeny tiny, and even having just had a newborn myself, I was amazed by her size. She is now four months old, freshly baptized and full of personality, but looking back at these photos, I am so glad I was able to do these pictures of her. The newborn phase goes by so, so quickly. Day to day, week to week, and before you know it, they’re on to the next milestone or growth spurt.

I was able to get a couple pictures of her when she was a day old, still in the hospital, when I went for a visit, and then spent a nice Sunday morning at Gina and Andrew’s house, doing silly things like putting this teeny baby in her teeny stocking (which she did not like) and getting some pictures of her snuggling with her mommy and daddy by the Christmas tree (which she liked very much).

Toes in the Sand

Just a little update on us. Lil will be 7 months next week and this girl just has my heart and squeezes it daily. She’s growing so fast, it’s just amazing to watch her learning and exploring the world. She’s such an inspiration to me. And those chunky baby thighs just kill me. I can’t get enough of them. I couldn’t resist putting her in a 9 month romper this week just so I could see her little rolls hanging out.

I love watching Sean with her – he is a wonderful daddy and she is just as lucky to have him for a daddy as I am to have him for a husband. We snuck out on a gorgeous evening this week for a family walk by Long Island Sound. Lily got her toes in the sand and seemed to love it! I can’t wait to bring her to the beach back home this summer and get her in the water!

With the weather getting nicer, I am getting more and more excited for what I have planned so far for this spring, summer and fall. My weekends are filling up fast, so if you want to sneak in a shoot at some point, contact me as soon as you can and we can chat. :)

I am also in the midst of planning some changes to the site (I might just start from scratch one of these days – yikes!), to how I run client galleries, and a few other things. After a quieter season last year, I hope to share more here on the blog with you. I know I haven’t been as good about keeping things fresh and interesting here. I don’t even know if anyone reads this anymore! If you do, thank you! If it were within my power, I would give you a cookie. Any kind of cookie you like.

Coming up next week I will have not one, but TWO newborn shoots to share with you. One is a bit overdue, the other I photographed last weekend. Oh, these tiny babies just make me melt! I really love photographing new babies and new parents. It’s an amazing time in life, watching a family change and grow, in numbers and in love. More babies, please!

Cheers!
