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?"

Jess' idea :) can't wait to see the side by side comparison in the upcoming months!

clara - milwaukee newborn photographer

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!

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 :)

camryn & harper - milwaukee newborn photographer

I feel like there has been a crazy amount of twinnie births lately - or maybe I'm just lucky enough to be getting a lot of them :)

Camryn & Harper (do you LOVE their names?!?) were actually born on Thanksgiving, but I didn't meet them until last week. They were born 2 months early, and spent about the first 8 weeks in the NICU. Even at technically 9 weeks old, these gorgeous little girls were barely the size of some of my full-term newbies - Camryn (the little sister) was barely hitting the 5 pound mark - she was less than 2 pounds at birth! Dad Joe told me they took a photo of his wedding ring around her arm - can you even imagine!

Big sister Harper was just over 7 pounds at this point - there is quite a difference in size between the 2 - but their big blue eyes definitely peg them as sisters :)

Our session ran a bit long - it was rough getting both munchkins to sleep simultaneously. But, both girlies rocked their individual shots, and then cooperated JUUUUUST enough to give me the sister shots I needed :)

Jen, Joe, congrats again - enjoy your preview!
