I dont photograph three month olds often. Most of my clients book newborn, 6 months and 1 year. Some book 3 and 9 month photos, but not many.

I do LOVE how this sleepy 3 month session turned out SO much I am planning another one for his 4/5 month photoshoot!

I spent a few days planning his outfit. I knew I wanted lots of textures. Originally I thought I was doing cream colored set up, but I might save that for a snowy day. When we stumbled upon this knit overalls I knew this color would be amazing.

Grayson came to the studio right before his morning nap, a little fussy and definitely hungry. We dressed him, fed him and his mama held him until he fell asleep. Once this sweet bub was sleeping I went to work.

We (as in my husband and I) are heading to Vegas next week to attend a concert AND a football game.

I am in the process of making reservations for our meals AND for shows on the other 5 evenings we are in town.

I would LOVE recommendations on either where to eat or what to attend.

Side note, we have no transportation and will be Ubering everywhere but staying on the strip...

I know many of you heard me talk about how I used

I know many of you heard me talk about how I used to dread parent poses when I first started doing photography 12+ years ago and how I made the switch in my brain to love them AND make them some of my favorite parts of the newborn sessions.

The biggest change I did was move family and parent poses to the START of my newborn session.
The reasons why are as follows:
a) Let's face it, it is hot in my studio. I jokingly call it hot yoga time. If you have ever looked around after an hour, we are a mess. All of us- parents included. Flushed faces, red cheeks, hair starting to frizz, (maybe arm sweats?) our clothes are wrinkled... need I say more?
b) By the end of the session. I'm tired, your tired. and the baby is tired. If I am tired, I am not going to take my time with the details. If your tired, your definitely NOT going to want to smile. if you baby is tired- in reality this means they are over stimulated and the best thing to do is be swaddled (great for solo poses) or be done with the session.
c) Moving them to the start meant I couldn't put off what I didn't want to do. I was fresh, ready, enthusiastic and open to taking my time and trying new things, new poses and moving my lights around.

The end result is I LOVE my parent poses and parent photos now. I love capturing my client's interacting, loving and breathing in their newborn babies.

There is nothing better than showing parents what I see when I witness and photograph them in love with their family.

If you are looking for a newborn session comment "PARENTS" and Ill send you my contact form!

Why should you book a newborn photoshoot? 1)Baby'

Why should you book a newborn photoshoot?

1)Baby's First Glamour Shot: Let's face it, your newborn might not become an international baby model sensation (although they totally could!), but their first photoshoot is a chance to give them the superstar treatment.

2)Time Machine for Giggles: Babies grow up faster than you can say "peekaboo!" Seriously, one day they're teeny tiny, and the next, they're crawling at warp speed. A newborn photoshoot freezes time, allowing you to revisit those precious, hilarious, and lovable moments whenever you want. When they're older, you can show them how adorable they were and share a laugh over their "I-can't-believe-I-was-ever-that-small" phase.

3)Crazy Baby Antics: Newborns have a knack for unpredictable, laugh-inducing behaviors. Whether it's a hilarious facial expression, a sudden yawn mid-pose, or an unexpected poop explosion (yep, it happens), newborn photography sessions capture all the sidesplitting antics that make parenthood a wild and wonderful adventure. These photos serve as a reminder that even in the midst of sleepless nights, you're creating the funniest memories with your little bundle of joy.

So, why are newborn photography sessions essential? Because they're a chance to make your baby the star of the show, freeze those adorable moments in time, and capture all the wacky and lovable things that make parenthood a hilarious and heartwarming journey. Get ready for giggles, grins, and a whole lot of love!
