Fort Smith & Sallisaw, OK Newborn Photographer | Kiefer @ 11 days

Here’s a few from my Sallisaw newborn photo session today (I guess technically yesterday since it’s 245 am). This little guy was one of a very limited number of newborns that actually slept through the *entire* session. He was asleep when I got there and asleep when I left. That’s not to say he didn’t fuss at me a few times for disturbing his sleep… Oh well, he got back at me, or should I say my blanket, in the end. Oh newborns, how cute - but very messy - you are.

Fort Smith Newborn Baby Photographer | Sweet Little Norah

This sweet little lady’s mom called us wanting to get her in for her newborn photos as soon as possible, since she was about to hit the ripe old age of 2 weeks. We like to photograph babies before 10 days if possible; after that they often don’t stay all curled up and tend to stay awake for longer periods of time. Oh yeah, then there’s the baby acne that often shows up around then as well. Luckily, this adorable little doll went to sleep and stayed that way for most of her session. She got pretty upset with me a few times for moving her, but it was nothing a little paci-time couldn’t handle. And such a little lady, she was the first newborn in a while that didn’t require even a single load of laundry (well, a burp cloth got it, but that’s nothin!).
Anyway, O. Family it was great meeting you and congrats on your little one
Now, on to the images…

Fort Smith, AR Newborn Photographer | Little Lady C.

Filed under: Newborn, baby — Tags: — AJ @ 1:27 am

This little lady came in for her Newborn Photography Session in a pretty good mood. You know, real sleepy and such. Then I laid her down on the blanket, and BAM! Eyes wide open. She slept very little during the session and was particularly…un-pleased…when I would try to pose her. Oh well, we got some sweet pictures despite her not particularly liking me…

Fort Smith/Mountainburg Arkansas Newborn Photographer | Little Man M.

This cute little guy was our first Newborn Photo session of the year. I think it was a great way to start off too! He slept great… until he got hungry, then he was wide-eyed until he and his parents left (even after eating). It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do some natural light newborn photos, but man, now I remember why they beat flash any day of the week! Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy, he’s adorable.

Oklahoma Newborn Photographer | Little Lady Frasier…

Last week I was able to go over to Oklahoma (my home state, btw) to photograph this cute little newborn. Of course it had been all sunshiny and bright right up till I got there. Let me tell you, my lights have been getting a workout recently (as have  my slowly growing lighting skills).  Anyway, after setting up all my assorted stuff (and rearranging and cluttering up the formerly spotless living room) little Frasier was ready to be photographed. At the 3-days-old mark Mom & Dad agree she probably won’t be a model. She wasn’t fond of me moving her around much. And she let me know the best way she could… let’s just say that’s why everything we use is washable and the washing machine is always empty before I leave the house for a newborn session! Dirty blankets or not, future model or not, she sure is a cutie! Congrats Mom and Dad and thanks for letting me mess up your home for a few hours  :)

Now, on with the pics…

from my experience photographing newbies, while incredibly cute, this face usually means it’s about time for a new diaper… luckily, at this point she had one on, unlike later…

Greenwood, AR Newborn Photographer | She Sleeps All the Time…

…at least that is until I got there. But after a bottle and a change of pants for both dad and Charlie, we were good to go. When she finally went to sleep, she was gone. But that’s just how babies are, when our little guy had his newb photoshoot, he slept all the way there and back, but stayed awake for his entire session. But I digress… She sure is a cutie20090814_newb-charlie_0113
