Kansas City Neworn Photographer ~ Newborn Session

Truitt was an absolute 100% perfect angel for his newborn session. That doesn’t happen very often but I have been on a little bit of a roll…. (knock on wood).

Table Poses During Newborn Photo Session

He let me do all the poses I wanted and that made my day! His crazy hair probably made my day more though…. I mean look at it! If you don’t smile looking at that hair and that sweet baby, I’m not sure what would do it for you! I love the colors mom chose for his photo session, they matched his complexion and that red hair perfectly!

And that smile! Come on! One other thing I like to capture during the newborn photo session is the detail shots! They are something I think Is not really thought about sometimes. I have these photos from my son when he was a baby, he is 14 now and I am so glad we do!! Booking a newborn session is something you will never regret!

Richmond Missouri Newborn Photographer ~ Legend’s Newborn Session

NEWBORN-IN-BROWN-FURBALL-HAT

This one was a special one for me! I want to introduce you guys to Legend Ezekiel Ray. Tay and Zayvion were so loving toward this little guy. Dad gave him kisses on his little forehead when I took him and it made me melt. They are going to be fantastic parents and I know he has an army at home to love on him. This is one of the sweetest families I know!

NEWBORN-POSED-IN-BASKET-WITH-BEAR-HAT

I did Tay’s Senior photo session in high school and she chose me to do her newborn photo session too! This boy was sooooooo good for all the different poses I wanted to do. She had sent me a few ideas she found on Pinterest and I tried my best to give her everything she wanted. The little bear is always a popular one.

I was swooning over this boys hair, All my newborn sessions lately I feel like they have had nice little heads of hair, which doesn’t happen very often! All boys too…… lot’s of newborn boys lately. I think I can almost see a little grin, he was having some sweet dreams in that bucket. One other thing I try to do in all my newborn sessions is get the little feet, lips, hands, ears…. they will never be this small again, we have to get the details!!

Tay asked me to try this swing pose for her, I have only done it a couple times before, and by this time he was kind of over us messing with him, he just wanted to sleep and be left alone! This is why I do mostly wrapped poses for my sessions. When you unleash those arms and legs the babe tends to wake up and get wiggly. Took us a minute but we got it!

It was so good seeing Tay and meeting her two new loves, Zayvion and Legend, I wish all the best for you guys and thank you again for choosing me to capture these memories for you!

Lexington, MO Newborn Photographer ~ Robert Earl Lynn’s Newborn Session

So It’s storming out… I had this whole Blog typed and the electricity went out and I lost it! So here I am again….. I’m sure I wrote some rather clever things and now I can’t remember any of them. Ok, maybe I didn’t have a lot of clever things so say… but I knew to this blogging thing and I’m pretty clueless really. So you get what you get. Ha!

Newborn Boy Newborn Session Richmond Missouri

I have only done newborn sessions at 1 month old twice and it was little Mr. Robert here and the other one was his sister Melissa! With his sister I took the milestone session approach, but she slept like a log so I ended up wrapping her like I do newborns. What I really remember about her was she had crazy hair, it was the best! So I decided to just go full on newborn session for Robert and he rocked it! He wasn’t a huge fan of the table poses but for 1 month I was kind of expecting that. Being wrapped however… he was all about! Had to include a pic with him and his momma… 1. because he had the sweetest little grin and 2. They are TWINS! Ok, now that I have done this blog twice…. It’s time for some wine! Then time for bed.
