Big Smiles! Massachusetts newborn baby portrait photographer. Central Worcester Ma Newborn Portrait Session.

This week I had my last two newborns for a few weeks and this little boy made me very sad to be switching gears. He was an absolute angel! Mom and dad loved simplicity so the shots are all clean, and I thought most of them looked best in classic black and white. I've been warming my black and white shots in photoshop with a layer of brown, which gives them a "chocolate" look. Baby D's personality really stole the show in every shot. He fell asleep so easily and smiled through the entire shoot! Enjoy your last newborn preview for a while. I've got some older babies and engagement shoots coming up next!

I’m on a newborn roll! This tiny peanut was my latest session. I offered to do a few newborn sessions for the “pampering pals” part of the mother’s playgroup I’m in… instead of the usual banana bread drop off… and this was my first. Little D was my tiniest newborn to date, weighing in at only 6 and change. She is an adorable baby girl, who I thought looked exactly like her mommy. It was a dark cloudy day so the light wasn’t ideal, but I think we managed some pretty cute shots. I have to give all the credit to that adorable face. There must be something about me lately though, the last few newborns have been quite a challenge to get to sleep. Luckily I whipped out the heating pad and remembered my baby whispering techniques (that NEVER worked for Giuliana) and after much effort, baby D was finally putty in my hands. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

This past Saturday was the newborn session of the adorable little K. We had a bit of a rough start. She was tough to get to sleep... I guess she wanted to stay up for all the action! When she was alert, she really looked right into the lens. After about an hour and a half, she finally drifted off to sleep. Then she was a real dream to work with! She let me pose her to my hearts content. She woke up hungry towards the end. You would never know she is crying in the family shots! Here are a few of my favorites. She is such a sweet girl! Now's the hard part, how will we ever pick which images for the birth announcements??

I'm obviously obsessed. I got four hours of sleep and have a baby shower to get ready for, yet I couldn't help rushing to my laptop with my morning cup of coffee and pouring over the photos from my newborn session yesterday. I don't have time to edit them until tonight, but I have to at least post this one. Can you stand the hat?!?! Mom, I'm ready for more knits!

The whole preview will be up tomorrow if you check back in.

Yesterday was the Newborn Session for the adorable Sawyer Lashua. With my daughter growing bigger every day (as they all do), there was something magical about holding a tiny, curling, sleepy newborn again. Sawyer was a big boy, born over nine pounds, but still seemed so tiny at only 7 days old. I couldn't believe how well mom, dad, and big brother were all doing. You will see in the sneak preview below how happy everyone in the family is to welcome little Sawyer into their world. I had a great time during this shoot, and as usual, I couldn't get out of Steph's house without being fed. Steph and Sam have been taking care of my tummy since the day we met five years ago!

Check out the cute props. My mom, the very talented knitter, has been working hard on some adorable newborn cocoons and hats for me. Luckily I have lots of newborn sessions coming up so you will be able to see all of her handy work soon!

Being the bad decision maker I am, the cute factor of this baby boy didn't make my job of selecting a sneak preview any easier... so enjoy an extra large one today :0)
