I’ve had an influx of summer babies and it’s been so much fun!  I think photographing newborns has kept me from having 17 kids!!  I love this stage of life and it’s a pleasure to be able work with couples that are just starting their family, or in this case…adding to it!

I met Jill at Rascals to Rebels when she was pregnant and we were able to reconnect and schedule a newborn photo shoot when Patrick was just 6 days old.  This is such a perfect time to photograph a baby because they are oblivious to the world and able to curl up in poses like this…

Patrick was even kind enough to give me a big smile…before he conked out again.

I love the “awake” pictures I took of him too…

I also love this picture I took of Patrick being held by his big brother, who is not so sure how he feels about the whole situation. 🙂  But, he’s only 6 days in and a month from now, he won’t even remember life without Patrick!

It was such a pleasure to spend the hottest afternoon in Long Beach with this sweet family!  Thanks for bearing the heat with me!!
