this is the MOST fun I have had on a newborn shoot EVER! For starters, this perfect specimen of a 10 day old belongs to my dear friend Chelsea, so I loved spending the morning with her! Second, Ella is the most beautiful SLEEPY sweet baby. Third, Chels had this lovely damask fabric and let me just have a hay day with her little one! Though most newborn photographers make it look easy- newborn shoots are long, hard (but super fun!) work. This little girl made me feel like a pro for the morning. =) usually I average about 30 proofs per session. This chica has probably 60 great shots. I could post all day long ... and kinda did. =)
oh. and fyi, i made [made! from start to finish!!] these little newborn cocoons. the green one will be available for future shoots, the pink one was my gift to ella. all images were taken with natural light- no flash, nothing but a window.

OH GOLL...I LOVE YOU:) and my baby...and now I can remember just how tiny and sweet she was in ten years from now. i love them all!!! thank you...thank you:)
She is precious. Is this all natural lighting?
YEP! I use natural light for portraits 100% of the time. Flash is used only during evening wedding receptions - and even then I don't always use it.

Every picture is BEAUTIFUL, but the one where she is nestled in the drawer with her little bum peaking out- absolutely priceless! And so artsy!

Hi, my name is Jessica and I came across your blog through a series of other blogs! I bought a DSLR camera a few months ago and I love seeing what other photographers are doing, it really inspires me! I love your pictures! My friend is having a baby next month and I am going to take pictures. So I love getting different ideas. Great work!
Oh my . . . first of all, you need to sleep. I don't know how you do it all. Second of all, if I ever have a girl, watch out! Yeah, that is what I was thinking as I scrolled down. Then, I came to the naked picture with the baby bum in the air and the Faux rug - and, I almost died. I could hang that on my wall and it isn't my baby! Adorable!
Genius Jessica.
Incredible.
You are too talented my friend! Beautiful as always. I still haven't posted from the other day, Still soakin' it all in!
Those cocoons are soo cute and you are so clever! Had I known you knit we could have chatted....
