Before I even met her, I knew Cora Quinn was going to be a precious bundle of perfection. It was clear once I did, she is a little beauty, just like her Momma. Her gorgeous momma’s bluebonnet maternity photo session a few months earlier was just that… gorgeous. (Missed it? Click HERE) I had a sneaking suspicion her newborn photos session would go the same way. She was exactly two weeks young the day of her session. Just expected for her age, Cora was a very alert little gal. She wasn’t going for any birthday suit photos, but that was okay by us! She preferred to be all swaddled up, so we captured her cuteness just as she wished.

As you can see, this sweet girl has SUCH a cute nursery. I am glad we were able to incorporate her teepee and dresser into her photos. It will be cool to look back on these in several months to see how much she’s grow in such a short period of time! Because Grandma was there to help out, we snuck her into a few photos also. As a result, you can find my new favorite ‘generations’ photo below! Gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, precious. I could go on and on here. We also took cute family photos outside, as Mom and Dad spend lots of time there, living on the outskirts of town. And the must have image for the session… Daddy and Baby Cora on his John Deere tractor. Heart melting cuteness. I have NO doubt one day she’ll actually ride around on it with him in a few years.

Lillian was exactly 7 days old and pure perfection during her newborn photos session. She was the little lady (along with her mom) who were ‘showered’ with magazine worthy Baby Shower details not too long ago. I’ve known her Mother for MANY years, so her arrival was much anticipated for many reasons! Born at 20 inches long, this sweet girl had the cutest little feet. During her photo session, she took a cuddle/snack break to nurse, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos. Don’t worry, the only thing being revealed were her cute little toes! After filling her belly she dozed off into dreamland, and was the perfect little newborn model for us. We take breaks when needed because it’s important to make sure newbies are as content as possible during their sessions. Little Diva! ;-P Being a model is hard work.

Normally I have a hard time deciding if babes look more like their mom or dad, but Lillian (at this time) clearly resembled her Mom to me. Though, I’m sure that will change back and forth many times. Either way, I look forward to seeing how little Lilly blossoms as she grows up. Being loved as she is, and having a precious smile like hers, she is destined to be a happy kiddo. We used her nursery bedding in the last few ‘Nitey Nite’ photos. For Mom and Dad’s sake, lets hope she grows up sleeping really well, like she did during this session! If not, at least they have photos of her doing so. I doubt that helps in the moment, but at least she’s darn cute! ;-)

Miss Georgia and her gorgeous momma came to the Savvy Images studio and I did not want her newborn photo session to end. There is the obvious (that they’re both complete beauties). Then, they are also both also very easy going. AND then, mega bonus… mom brought sooooo many cute little props, headbands and outfits to take photos in. Even at eight days young, she was still a teeny little bit, so we didn’t fit in and use near as many as we would have liked to. But just KNOW that this gal has stellar options for future photo sessions! Even the little outfit she came to the session in was precious. Like mother, like daughter. This cutie will be styling! After all, her nursery was featured on the Project Nursery Instagram account and the Caden Lane Facebook page before she was even born. I styled her (mostly pink) newborn photos to compliment her navy and pink ballerina themed room. And the adorable little crown was the perfect touch for this little princess. All her photos look like a dream together in Mom’s session brag book and I’m dying to see how they display her stunning canvas. It’s only been a month and I already cannot WAIT to capture her cute little toes as she gets bigger and fits into some of those other cute outfits! More perfection to come from these pretty ladies. One of these days, we’ll even convince Georgia’s dad and big brother to join in on the photo fun. ;-)

I’m very excited to introduce handsome little Drew to all of you! Even though his newborn photo session was planned several months in advance, it was actually in the works for over a couple years. I can explain… His gorgeous Momma contacted me to do his big brother’s newborn photos just as we decided to move to Alaska two and a half years ago. Because of our move, it clearly didn’t happen. My kind of heartbreak. Fast forward two years and two VERY handsome little men later, I finally had the opportunity to capture her beautiful growing family. Big Brother (as ALL big brothers are) was an adorable, energetic little handful. He wasn’t a huge fan of being in front of the camera at the time, but we still managed to snag some really cute images of him with his new baby bro! It was such a pleasure to capture all of Drew’s cute little baby details. Oh.my.goodness…his eyelashes were perfection! Mom and Dad are going to have their hands full with these two handsome little fellas in several years. But at least they’ll have these photos to reminisce on just how precious they were as wee wittle guys!

I couldn’t imagine a better way to announce my official return from {my very extended} maternity leave, than by showing off the very reason… my reason, my feisty little surprise, my perfect little Savvy Newbie model. Scotty Grace Noel. She was determined to be an Alaskan and made her grand entrance into this chaotic world shortly after our stunning Maternity Photo Session with Dolce Vita Photo Boutique. As you can clearly see in the photos below, she has quite a large little personality. Our world has changed in so many ways and this little Mini is proving to keep us on our toes! Taking my own newborn photos was a bit challenging for so many reasons, but looking back on the photos now, is absolutely priceless. It was the very beginning of all her silly little smiles and pout pout faces that I would get to know so well. Seeing her grow into those expressions has made my heart grow more than I ever imagined possible.

Scotty’s fur sister Reis kept trying to make her way into the newborn photo session, while still keeping a bit of distance. She wasn’t completely sure about her new little human just yet, but if she was going to participate, we had to make it darn cute! My one newborn photo goal was a HUGE success and I’m SO glad that I was able to capture several cute photos of my two little Loves being adorable together! The ‘froggy’ pose above was dad’s only newborn photo request. I’m pretty sure he only wanted to see if I could actually do it. Pffft. Of course. As I mention in my blog post ‘Timing for Perfect Newborn Photos’, photographing older newborns can be difficult. Lucky for him, my persistence and determination paid off. ;-)I mean seriously, look at that sass!! Because being a new mom is exhausting, and we had a gazillion things going on at that time, every morning we’d wake up eventually and do a pose or two, then call it a day. You can tell toward the end that she has just about had enough, and she was also becoming more aware of my shenanigans!  We were very fortunate to have our good friend, Rob Siciliano of Far North Photos, take the family photos of us below. It was a rough afternoon for Scotty, but thanks to him, we were able to make the most of it. Now that I’m officially back to work, PLEASE spread the word to ALL your friend in the Houston area. I really, really, REALLY want to be very successful here, and all of you could definitely help me make that happen!
