When you look around HGP's website, you'll see a lot of sleeping babies.  It is almost impossible to pose an awake baby.  So if your babe should wake up, or not go back to sleep at some point, I'm very likely to take a few pictures of your awake babe.  That didn't happen with Kooper.

As with every baby, after getting naked he was wide eyed for a bit.  But his mom was not kidding that when you put a paci in his mouth, his eyes drop, he hits snooze-ville and spits out that paci.  She has amazing instincts as a new momma, and she knew her little boy inside and out.  I wish I had grabbed a few awake shots before he fell asleep, because I never saw his eyeballs again!  It made for a session that I ended up sending a 90+ proofing gallery!  He was so good, albeit sooo wiggly! 

Summer Mini's are LIVE!  HGP kicked them off the best way possible- with my niece (and her parents, but I mean, we really only care about my niece, right?).

I had a full blog post written out, and lost it.  So I'm bummed and it'll probably take me days to write the new one... waaaaahhh.

Anyways, this session came really close to not happening.  My sister in law came to my studio to pick up a headband and I think the whole neighborhood could hear miss Charlotte screaming.  So Chelley tried a quick nursing, a  little decompress time, and we loaded up.  Cue more screaming.  Get to our location, and she's still pissed.  Honestly, I don't want to make your babies cooperate.  They're allowed to have bad days too, and the last thing anyone wants to do is spend a half hour or longer making their baby smile, play, and engage. 

Ok, so I know this is supposed to be about Lindsey & Brandon.  However, there's a Marlow in the picture, and little girl is even cuter than her name.  First of all- I'm envious of how talkative she is, she's not even two yet!  Secondly, she's so amazingly well behaved!  Even though we were encroaching on what is so often the witching hours for babes.  I almost let Mar steal the show with her adorableness, but alas, we sent her on her way with grandparents and carried on with our gorgeous evening!

Anyways, we had to wait literal months to get this session finally in!  First we had cold temps, then sickness, then wind (it was 100% necessary that we had to reschedule since two out of three of them had dresses on, it's a good thing we did).  Luckily we got a break in the wind, sickness, and HEAT, because I'm not about to make all this cute couples get all dressed up just to sweat through their well coordinated outfits in these summer days we've been having. 

This is so sad!  I'm blogging the Bach's newest addition before I even blogged their WEDDING.  It's on the to do list, I just got really busy shortly after their wedding and didn't get it blogged.  But it's gorgeous.  So I promise it's coming at some point.  It really does need and deserve a blog post.

Anyways. I digress. Porter is on the blog!  Apparently Tina and Brian make gorgeous and chunky babies that are great sleepers.  Fortunately, I've been in business long enough to see this gorgeous family grow to a family of four.  I photographed Tina & Brian when they announced they were expecting Beckett (big brother), his newborn session, their wedding, and now their newest addition- Porter.  His momma has fabulous taste and requested what is probably one of my most neutral sessions to date, and I am so in love!

While it's pretty apparent that Porter's personality isn't quite as laid back as Beckett's, he did so well for his session.
