Baby Owen ~ Gainesville Newborn Photograher

Ahhh, babies!! :) They're so wonderful and sweet. There's nothing like that good clean baby smell (note: I did say clean.... babies don't always smell lovely!) and that soft, soft skin! You may remember Kelly and Mort from their maternity session a few weeks ago. Well, baby Owen was born on Tuesday the 5th, and I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with them on Saturday to capture some images of their sweet new guy! Owen was so good the entire time -- he cuddled right up on the warm blanket and hardly fussed at all. So enjoy all of the sweet baby goodness!

 This cute blanket and hat were hand knitted by a friend of the family. It was so soft and the hat fit just perfectly (Great job Jamie!!).

Love this one in Daddy's hands. :)

Mom and Dad are SO in love with baby Owen. It's the best thing. Ever. Seriously. :)

And now an out-take. Kelly is a dressage rider and before our session had emailed me to ask what I thought of trying to get a photo of Owen on her saddle. I was game to try it, but as you can see below, Mr. Owen was having nothing of it. Poor guy!! Kelly rescued him off the saddle pretty quickly...

Happy Wednesday!

More baby!

So one of the evenings that Jared and I were in PA, we spent hanging out with my parents and Brian, Jen, Mason and Kirra. Dad and I spent a few hours taking photos and posing babies (in between tears, diaper changes, feeding, and a bit of puke!) and somewhere in between we all ate dinner too!  Here are a few of the shots...

I picked up this adorable headband and Jen got the little pink hat from a vendor at the Grange Fair...who'da thunk it? 

Seriously. Does it get cuter than these two? (And do you know how hard it is to get a photo of TWO babies with relatively happy looks on their faces?)

Love how Mason reached up and grabbed his little hat (another of my and Dad's finds...) 

More hats that Jen found for Kirra.

and Mom picked up some pretty flowers...

Naked Mr. Man with such big eyes!

Love, love, LOVE this one I caught of my little brother and his little girl....

oh, baby, baby!

Babies... they have that sweet smell, that soft skin, those tiny little finger and toes. And my family has been blessed with two at once! My brother, Brian, and his wife, Jen, had their lives forever changed early in July when Mason and Kirra were born. And so while Jared and I were visiting home last week, I took advantage of the multiple munchkins and shot photos to my hearts content.... so many that this definitely needs to be split into two blog posts! So for tonight, enjoy these "bits and pieces" and a few fun shots. Tomorrow, I'll be back with more from our "official" photo shoot!

I haven't really gone MIA, I promise... I'm here, but here is in Pennsylvania with my family. And that includes those two precious little bundles that arrived about eight weeks ago, so I'm hugely busy spoiling them rotten. Oh, and taking a few pictures...

More soon, I promise!
