We call our kids blondies and if you’ve seen them, that’s an understatement.  Jillian’s hair can more accurately be described as WHITE and the boys have only recently turned a darker shade of blonde.  It’s cute to hear them use it in conversation…”you know Evan, he’s a blondie.”

One of my favorite newborn sessions was with a blondie.  Little Austin had the lightest of newborn hair and peachy cream skin.  He’s just adorable.

I used one of my newborn cocoons since he was in such a deep sleep.  The peacock blue color was amazing with his skin tone!

If you’re a photographer interested in purchasing a kid silk mohair cocoon, Kathy has them in her etsy store right now.  Click here to see more.  She’ll be adding more, so stay tuned!

When I photograph newborns, either clients will come to my home studio or I will travel with all my supplies to their home.  In this case, I met Austin at his home…which was a tiny (but gorgeous!) space.  They were gracious enough to move furniture so I could have adequate light.  All this to say, sometimes a very glamorous picture doesn’t look very glamorous when we’re making it.  My clients trust me and I’m so glad they do!

Here’s a bit of the ‘behind the scenes’!
