This is just my opinion, but I happen to love real-life newborn photos that depict life at this beautiful time.  Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the popular newborn photography trends out there....but nothing pulls my heart strings like capturing the bonding that occurs when a newborn baby arrives.  Here's a few favorites from my time spent with this lovely family.

  This sweet angel was just a few days old when I photographed her...and let me tell you, she is perfect in every way.  As I was editing these pictures, I thought a lot about the miracle of life...no matter how many times I try to wrap my head around the miracle that is a new life, it always astounds me.  I hope you enjoy a few of my favorite images of little baby A and her sweet family :)

I'm having a hard time tonight finding the right words to describe to you how precious this family is....I loved photographing them, especially Baby B with his Great-Grandpa.  Just look at that connection between them....melts my heart!!  

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from this shoot.  As you've seen over the past couple weeks, I've been photographing a lot of newborns lately....it's been wonderful, each one of them is a little slice of heaven!!

I've ever felt such joy when holding a baby. It's very nice and I know my baby was very comfortable to use a very soft cloth...

 Remember when I posted this sneak peek a couple weeks ago?  Now I'd like to share a few more of my favorites.

 This little love was fun to photograph....she has a very sweet and content personality.  When she was awake, she would stare all around in awe of her new environment....no crying at all.   Isn't she a doll?

 Are you a night owl?  I am...have been since I was little.  I'm also convinced that there isn't anything I can do to change my ways.  I've been lucky since I had kids because they both sleep in until at least 8am...but even that is early for me.  

So here are a few random things I'd like to share...ready?  Here we go...

1).  I've been nominated in the KCRA A-List for Best Portrait Photographer in Sacramento.  If you like my work I would SO love your vote!  I'm kinda nervous about it...but these thing are silly, right? So I shouldn't be nervous?!? It really only takes a few minutes.  
click HERE to vote for us  or click on the badge below:)  And thank you in advance...I want to find a special way to thank everyone who votes for me (maybe a free-session giveaway since I can see who votes for me?  What do you think?)

We're Competing badge

 2.)  Good ol' time-sucking facebook.  If you're like me, you have a love/hate relationship with facebook.  I've had a personal page and a "fan/like" page for a while now and in the past, I've found it difficult to update both of them...but not anymore.  I'm looking forward to getting a little more involved with my "fan/like" page...so first up, I'm going to do a little giveaway when I reach 500 "likes." Click HERE to "like" the page.

So I think that's probably enough shameless self-promotion for 1 blog post :) :)

3.)  And last, but not least...here is a little sneak peak from my newborn shoot today!  Isn't she a doll?  The last 3 newborns I photographed were boys, so I was quite happy to get my pink-fix with this little babe.  More coming soon.
