A few weeks back my schedule was saturated with sessions. I’m finally coming to the end of processing some of those sessions and I’m so very happy with the results. You’ve already seen Jordan’s snowy senior session from that time frame. Now I proudly present…Brooks! I had so much fun on this session. Newborn boy photography is such a sweet treat–especially since I get to break out the tiny-ties!!
He was welcomed into this world by a very loving mommy, daddy, big brother and golden retriever. I was welcomed into the home to shoot these precious images by the proud parents and the big brother–who wasn’t wearing pants, but was bearing a bo-staff, a la the Ninja Turtle Donatello. He was a little apprehensive of having me in his house. His mom was apprehensive about him not wearing pants. But the tension was lifted once I proved myself a true Turtles fan–I sang the theme song and named all the turtles and their choice of weapon. {Donatello happens to be my favorite too.}
Anyway, once we were all on happy terms we had a lovely session. These two brothers are just adorable. And so photogenic! First sibling portraits are always such a treat to shoot.
Brooks was atypical in the fact that he stayed awake for nearly the entire session. Usually once a baby is snuggly warm and resting on super soft blankets and pillows they just can’t help but fall asleep. Not Brooks! He was so alert and well behaved. Just look at these big, curious eyes!
Eventually–he did dose off for a little bit. Maybe it had to do with the cozy hat on his head….
Brooks’ daddy is a hunter. So, we took a few moments to get some images of this future sure-shot with a special home-made blanket…and of course Brooks’ furry sibling.
I’m so very grateful to have been invited into this home to capture these first portraits. Thank you so very much for trusting me with these precious moments. Your flash drive will be in the mail this week!
