It has become something of a tradition for me to take newborn photos of all of the new little ones from my husband's place of work. If you have followed me for long, you might recognize this little man from last year at about this time of year who I had the joy of capturing his newborn photographs.

Little Mr. Roman is the third baby born since we have transferred out here from MI and is also the third boy-- with the 4th boy to be born in 2012.  There must be something in the water down there near Loring Park.  I especially love the opportunity to photograph the new little one's in the company family because I also get the chance to get a peek and a snuggle before my own husband or many of the co-workers.  It is such a delight to be welcomed into their homes and to get to know more of the M******* A******** family on a personal level.  I wanted to share a few photos from our session and let Mom Natalie and Dad Drew see them before the holidays.  I hope you enjoy!

 I loved their house in Minneapolis.  From the trim to the floors, everything was preserved and gave such a cozy and warm feel. 

 I loved his nursery!  So comfy and all of small details made it such a wonderful boyish space, while still being personal. 
 Yawn!  So sleepy and happy looking up at his loving Mommy.

I was delighted to recently stumble across http://www.celebratingadoption.org/, a website offering similar services, and listings of photographers across the United States who are willing to donate their time and talent to you for your adoption session.

Today I got to do one of my favorite things, have a newborn session.  It was made even more fun by the fact that, the baby was super-adorable and it was a gift session to a coworker of my husband's and his wife.  Little Liam is two months old, and so was able to stay awake for a while and give smiles, but also very kindly slept for us for a while.  It was so great to see a family so happy and to know that Liam will be growing up in a home filled with laughter and love.

It was also great to finally get to meet Erin, Liam's mom.  She and I have had very similar stories for the past few years-- moving for a husband's promotion and relocating without knowing anyone here in MN.  Hopefully we'll get to see you again soon!


Erin, this is one of my favorite photos I have taken, ever.  Your little one is just gorgeous!

A bit out of order, but I couldn't resist sharing a sneak peek of the darling little one I got to cuddle during my newborn session this week.  Jess is a friend, and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to photograph her new little one, Alexa.  This was also my first opportunity to see her new house, and it was so much fun to have a loud, long session as her older daughter played trains with my Noah as we captured these images.  Despite this, Jess was able to soothe her little one to sleep, eventually, and I am so looking forward to editing the rest of the session.






Congrats again Momma!
