Are you expecting 2 or more?

Or do you know someone who is? I meant to announce my Winter special a couple of months back, but got so busy with everything that I never did, so I’m extending it into April. ;)

This giveaway is for the newborn twins or triplets (and the parents anxiously awaiting their arrival) with a due date between January and the end of April.  All you have to do is sign up for a regular newborn session in your home or in my studio, and you will be entered in a drawing to win a beautiful custom designed 10×10 coffee table art book of your beautiful new babies!

Those that refer expecting families (that end up booking) will also receive a thank you gift/coupon for a future session this spring/fall. As always, an extra big thanks to all my wonderful clients who refer others to me. Truly, thank you so very much. :)

I’ll be doing this drawing in just a few weeks, so right now is the time to spread the word! :)

I feel like I need to have a photo in this post, so here is another of little Ezra and Kai from my most recent post below, that seriously makes me smile huge:

Ezra and Kai, 3 weeks old

As different as 2 brothers born together can get. :) Such adorable little tiny sweeties! I believe they were just 4 and 5 pounds at our session, and settled beautifully as long as we blew the warm air right on them. :)

Toddler trio

My little buddies came back for a visit! These guys were the beautiful models in one of my favorite baby images about a year ago:

And now they are these big kids, true almost-1.5-year-olds being so silly:

Practicing their escaping skills:

And finding their belly buttons!

Also, just being generally adorable. I like how this one shows how little they still are :)

Beautiful mother-to-be

The first maternity in my new studio, and I just love how the dramatic light shows off the beautiful belly curves. I really loved these in black and white, but will post a color at the end as well. :)

Xoe, 2 weeks

I got to meet Xoe on her 2 week birthday. She was a special 4 week early delivery and so tiny and cute. :)

These were in my new studio, I’m learning the light in every square inch of that space and loving it all!

Tutus!

Great fun for dress-up, parties, or your photo session!

First shots in the new studio! Joseph, 2 weeks old.

I will be posting some studio “before and after” comparison shots very soon, still getting some details finished (like curtains and displays and seating and a rug) this week. But I did meet little (big) boy Joseph a couple of days ago and was able to try out the beautiful natural lighting I have available in there. It is lovely, and Joseph was a little cutie pie!

I think he was waving hello to me in this one ;)

Girl trio.

You may remember a post a while back with the first few of these maternity shots. Well, a lot has happened since then! This was such a fun and rewarding project, seeing these 3 girls develop and grow (in their belly), bigger and bigger…seeing the changes a Mama-to-be goes through so clearly in print every few weeks. There are no words, it is just simply amazing and beautiful. :) Doesn’t this series make pregnancy and childbirth look so fast and easy?! ;)

And the girls…yes, it is January…but it was unusually warm(ish) this past week for wintertime. And we were quick, I promise. Newborns in nature are my signature offering as a photographer, and I really love it when it works out and the weather cooperates with me!

Scarlett, 10 days old

I am in love with Scarlett’s brand new (little bit post date) baby skin. I find these details to be the most wonderful things imagineable. They change so very fast, which is also beautiful and amazing to watch.

Little Scarlett also has a wonderfully calm and inquisitive personality showing already. She loved looking out the window and when I would scoot her blankets away she would crane her little newborn neck to get a glimpse of the great outdoors once again! That’s what she was doing here, one of my favorites from her session.
