my new buddy | winston-salem and clemmons newborn photographer

can i just start by saying i *love* this kid? i mean, it's enough that he's adorable and cuddly in all his squishy newborn goodness, but then.... THEN.... at 2 1/2 weeks old, he slept the *whole* session. i was shocked. he was in total chill mode, and it was fantastic. i'm so glad he's my newest baby planner! i made him promise that he'd be just as well-behaved and adorable for his 6 month and 1 year sessions. he agreed. can't wait to hang with my new little buddy again!

I had to give him a little faux hawk for at least one shot :)

he didn't even get mad at me for putting the hat on him. not yet anyway, wait til he's a teenager :)

see the cheeks? do you SEE the cheeks? oh my word.

i got to spend a few hours with this sweet little guy on saturday. he fought sleep (and won :) and i gave him the nickname houdini (he earned it!). we got lots of awake photos, and his cousin, who was one of my baby planners, came by for some 2 year old photos. enjoy your sneak peek!

i'm always excited when a dear friend has a new little baby for me to photograph (because that's why they have babies, right? so i can take photos of them? :) so i was on pins and needles waiting for my friend kati to have her beautiful little (and i mean that! she's tiny!!!) girl. baby j didn't make me wait too long, she showed up a couple of weeks early! i tried to bring her home with me, but kati said no... although she mentioned she might change her mind on a sleepless night! :) thank you, kati, for letting me photograph your precious little girl! i'm so happy you're one of my baby planners!

just 12 days old | clemmons newborn photographer

I couldn't wait to photograph this brand new little guy! You may remember his parents, Tricia and Joe, from this post. I just knew that when these two had a baby, he would be gorgeous! I adore him already! And I like him so much that I didn't even mind when he peed on my blanket. :) Enjoy your sneak peek, R family!
