Jessi and Tim’s wedding kicked off the 2011 wedding season for me. What can I say about these two? Jessi and Tim were all smiles the entire day, and it was so obvious that these two are meant to be together. Seriously — nothing could wipe the smile off of either of their faces on this amazing day. And all of the forces that be came together during the planning of this wedding to make it as wonderful a day as possible. And can you believe that, before the wedding, a mere FOUR photos were in existence of the two of them together? They’re so cute together, that I just can’t fathom it!
So glad I got to be a part of your special day, Jessi and Tim! And SUPER glad that I was able to multiply that collection of photos nearly 50-fold!

The K Family and I went out to Westwood Hills Nature Center this week for a quick mini session, and what a gorgeous day it was — the first day of June, and it finally felt like summer was on its way! You may recognize the adorable girls from their session I did last August, when Clara was born — they just keep getting cuter!

Some of you know that I’ve been doing freelance work with First Day Photo since May 2010. Since then, I’ve photographed nearly 400 newborns, usually within the first day or two of life. These sessions are very different from the typical newborn sessions I offer within my own business — they’re short and sweet (ideally 15-20 minutes), and in most cases, we do them right in the Mom’s room. As you can imagine, there are several challenges to overcome under these circumstances — if you’ve ever been in a hospital room, you know that most aren’t very big and don’t leave a lot of room to move around; if you’re lucky, you’re in a room with good natural lighting; if you have kids of your own, you know that the only schedule that matters is baby’s schedule — they just might decide they’d rather eat or poop instead of chill nicely for a few photos; and finally, we’re not exactly at the top of the totem pole in the postpartum ward — there are doctors, pediatricians, nurses, lactation consultations, circumcisions, birth certificates, etc. etc. to compete with, all of which generally take precedence over baby’s photo session, rightfully so. Some sessions definitely go better than others (sometimes you just gotta work with a squirmy newborn giving you the stink eye!), and sometimes you have amazing session that couldn’t go better. Below is one of those.
Little Kylie’s parents gave me permission to share some of the photos from our session with you. Parents can’t really prepare as much for these sessions as they can at home when baby is even just a few days older, so when I get lucky enough to photograph a baby that’s by chance calm, sleepy, and with a full belly, it’s a pretty awesome day. And, let’s face it – most days are pretty good to begin with, getting to hang out with fresh little humans. It’s a pretty sweet gig.
And now, introducing Kylie, photos taken at just three days old. Enjoy!
