2015Brenda and Chris had coffee with me prior to booking their session for timeless newborn baby girl pictures.
I immediately adored Brenda’s sense of humor as she expressed a desire to document the newness of her “gross little wad” so fresh from the womb. I nearly cried in laughter over her enthusiasm for not forgetting a single detail.
Despite their sense of humor, little Isabella Vivan truly was an unexpected miracle. Brenda had gone through some extensive surgeries to have a chance at motherhood and even still things had failed.
But when they least expected it, Isabella showed up. The joy and love they have for their little girl was almost tangible at our coffee date. Their story and their humor were the perfect fit for Quiet Graces.
And when we finally got to our studio newborn session, we were able to capture all that joy in a single family image. Isabella relaxed in her parents arms. It was home to her. I can’t even decide whether to show you the color or the black and white image! So you’ll get to see both 🙂
Isabella certainly gave me a run for my money at her session. She did not want to sleep at all in the beginning.
So we photographed awake images and waited.
And took some detail images. And waited.
Finally, she dozed off. We made the best of it!

If so, these mini sessions are a perfect way to get some hand edited digital portraits to remember your milestone and try out the Quiet Graces experience.
For just $99 you’ll receive:

2015Meet Kyran.
At 6 weeks old, Kryan was a little old for my typical newbworn posing workflow. However, I love this age!
At six weeks, baby’s eyes have developed enough to actually focus on the camera. He can look at me. Better yet, his little personality is developing and we can begin to see all of his moods through varied expressions.
Check out the following expressions he gave me. Each were shot just a few frames apart. His face goes from disgusted/curious, to thinking I’m hilarious, to smiling in just a few seconds!
Aren’t these faces perfect?
Kyran arrived to the studio pretty sleepy, so after all these awake shots, I took and chance and posed him like a newborn. I popped in his pacifier and then patted his bottom until he drifted off.
Kyran was a big boy even at birth and his side rolls were gorgeous! There’s something beautiful about a tiny baby with so much chubbiness.
I’m so glad he took a little nap for me and let me capture him as a newborn. But it didn’t last long. We saw those eyes again pretty soon 🙂
And I still sneaked a few little detail images wide eyes and all. This is probably one of my favorite images of all time: these little toes peaking out. They change so quickly and just to bottle up all this newborn goodness and preserve it for generations… I love my job.
Kyran’s big brothers jumped in for a little fun and were super well behaved for this shot and the family image.
Looking to have your baby remembered and finding that he’s “too old for newborn pictures”? Let me give it a try! We may not capture as many sweet curly images, but we’ll make up for that in personality! Contact me today to set up your session.
