collin - milwaukee newborn photographer

I spent last Sunday morning photographing yet another newborn cutie. 9-day-new Collin was such an adorable little snuggler {and sleep fighter}, but as always, the longer they fight, the longer they sleep for me :) 


Collin's big sister, Finley {love her name and her curls...}, was a little shy with me at first, but by the time I left, she agreed to sit next to "her baby" and even kissed him!


Congrats again, you guys, and best wishes as a new family of four :)

big sis, Finley :)

smiler :)

this image seriously makes my heart melt...

it took Finley a bit {and a nap} to warm up, but she did it!

We've been doing photos for the A Family since Ryan was 6 months old. Well, now he's TWO, and they've added another cutie to the mix. At 8 days new, baby Leah made her swp debut. I really have to give a shout-out to mom and dad here - who on top of having a newbie and toddler are in the middle of selling their house and relocating almost 2 hours away. Phew, makes me tired just thinking of it all! 


Ryan was a very patient boy {thank God for Curious George!} while mom and I made Leah sleepy. And Leah... well the photos speak for themselves. She is just an absolutely beautiful baby. 


Congrats again, A Family. We'll be seeing you in a few months :)

Sweet Jackson :) 


Quite the sleep fighter, this little guy was wiiiiiiide awake {and very interested in what the heck I was doing there} when I arrived and took about 2 hours to finally reach his deep sleep. And it was totally worth it because once he was out - he was OUT. Not sure if it was the snuggling / feeding with mom or the sound of Ryan Seacrest on E! News in the background... SportsCenter would have likely put him out quicker, right dad? ;)


Jess & Jason - congrats again, and thanks for being so welcoming and fun! Enjoy all the awesome snuggle time with your little man :)

"who ARE you, lady?"

It's been awhile since I've have the chance to snuggle {I mean, photograph} a newborn :) Baby Clara was so sleepy and so cuddly... an absolute dream baby. 


And I had lots of helpers too! Big brother Will and big big sister Audrey helped me carry in  alllllll of my stuff, Will let me use his bedroom because it had the best light, and Audrey is more than likely now capable of setting up her own newbie session after studying and questioning me :) What an incredible amount of personality and sweetness there is in the C Family home!


I hope you guys are enjoying your new family of five!

love :)

Nathan - Milwaukee Newborn Photographer

If ever there were a "perfect" newborn model, Nathan would be it. Little man nailed his newbie session - slept peacefully, posed wonderfully. Even resting his head perfectly on his arms when prompted. And those lips - oh, that perfect precious pout of his... swoon.

Even big brother Sam (I am his arch nemesis) was on point - AND... don't tell him, but I think we might be buddies now. It only took about 5 minutes for him to warm up, start showing off, allow me to play with him. Only mild bribery was required to get him to flash that "all american boy" smile of his. He followed directions wonderfully, and posed with his new little brother like a pro.

Even though the session ran into the 4 hour mark, I can't blame Nathan or Sam. At 38 weeks prego, I was just a little slower moving that day :P

I just finished editing this session and every single photo made me happy. Congrats, guys :)

Those lips....

Perfection!

grandmas are so comfy :)

If there were a definition of ideal newborn model in the dictionary, next to it would be a picture of little Mr. Owen.

At 12 days old, I was worried that we may have missed the window of perfect sleeping newbie. But Owen was just a little peanut, not even 7 pounds yet. Still wrinkly & furry, and fully ready to fall asleep when prompted. In fact, he started the session wide awake and completely content - which was perfect to get some shots of those big sparkly eyes of his. And as soon as I wanted him to, he drifted peacefully to sleep. The only real "complaint" he had was when I would uncover him - and who wouldn't complain, it was cold!

Owen's was one of the quickest newbie sessions I've done this year. No need to stop for feeding or diapering! He also went thru a myriad of expressions - which made for some fantastic shots. He smiled, grimaced, frowned, pouted... but never really cried.

Can you tell I was in heaven with this kiddo? He rocked his newbie session, made my job easy peasy. Steve & Molly, congrats on your new little guy - he is so perfect. Enjoy your preview!

gorgeous boy, hey?

piggies

gas-induced or not, this kid was giving some GREAT smiles :)

Zoey seems like she'll make a really good big sister
