Newborn baby boy A. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New England newborn photographer creates sleeping newborn baby portraits

Another baby boy to share with you today. He was just as adorable and just as sleepy! In fact, lasting under two hours, I think this was my shortest newborn session ever. Baby A was born about a week late and was a big baby. Add that to the fact that his family drove from Cape Cod for their session, and I wasn't sure how sleepy he would be. Well, A got right down to business and we were able to get some adorable portraits before he woke up for the day! Enjoy your preview mom and Meme!

Newborn baby boy L. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New England newborn baby portrait photographer creates

Did anyone catch NBC's Today Show yesterday? The two newborn photographers featured have been constant inspiration to me since my beginnings in photographing newborns. If you get a chance, check out the segment and you can see a little bit of what newborn photographers do to catch those teeny newborns sleeping.



This little man ended the streak of not-so-sleepy newborns that have been visiting the studio. Those feisty girls have been giving me a run for my money! I got to end the week with two baby boys full of chubbiness, smiles, and sleep! L was a complete dream boat... the lips, the lashes... photographer's dream! Enjoy your preview mom ;0)

Newborn baby O. Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New England newborn baby photographer creates natural light newborn portraits

This beautiful baby girl came to the studio this week and she continued the trend of not-so-sleepy newborns I've been having lately! You would never know it from the portraits, however. She is certainly a sleeping beauty! I have to give credit to mom who relentlessly cluster-fed her to help get these shots! Mom and dad came in for their maternity session in February so I couldn't wait to meet the new addition. Enjoy your preview mom and dad. I loved seeing you again and meeting your beautiful baby girl.

Baby E, my newest niece! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby portrait photographer creates spring and easter newborn baby portraits

I am so proud to introduce you to my new niece, baby E. I could have held her all day yesterday! She was wide awake at the beginning of our session so I had some extra time getting to cuddle her to sleep. I 'm pretty sure she just wanted to play with her Aunty! She already knows how much fun I am! She was good to me though and had a nice little sleepy period so we could get some of the shots you see below. At two weeks old (I may be biased) she was a total doll face! Enjoy your preview mom and dad ;0)

Newborn baby boy! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn photographer creates studio newborn portraits.

This little man came to visit the studio last week and he was awake and ready to party! What do you do with a newborn who won't sleep??? Well, I must say, my mom's beautiful knit cocoons came in handy! Snuggled up inside was pretty much the only place he would sleep outside of his parents' arms. I just adored his sweet little profile and spikey hair. What a cutie!

Newborn Twins. Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates studio newborn portraits for twin girls.

I was so excited to share this preview with you. Twin girls E and S were so much fun to work with yesterday. They were so easy, I didn't even need my assistant! Mom and dad got little sleep the night before, but I bet they'll think it was worth it once they see their sleepy sweethearts in these photos. The garden was pink this week which was perfect for them. The one of them in the basket might be one of my favorite pictures of all time! Enjoy your preview mom and dad. Lots of cuteness to come!

Spring babies! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates natural light newborn portraits in warwick ri portrait studio

The garden is in full bloom! This week it is pink tulips and pussy willows. What am I doing with all of these flowers you ask? Well, lets just say that next spring, my home will be overtaken by tulips. This little girl was a fiesty one. Only 8 days old, but born 5 days late, this little peanut gave me a run for my money. She only slept for two minute intervals and I don't believe I've ever witnessed a newborn eat more at a session! Luckily, she slept long enough for me to catch some adorable shots. I've gotten good at working fast with the not-so-sleepy bunch. That is when the studio comes in handy because everything is right at our fingertips when baby finally decides to doze. Enjoy your preview mom and dad. I loved meeting you!

Baby girl A and big brother! Rhode Island and Massachusetts on location newborn portrait photographer creates in home newborn portraits in Boston Ma

I haven't traveled to a home for newborn portraits in some time and it was so refreshing to get out of the studio and visit this family last week! They had a beautiful nursery with fabulous light, so we set up the whole session right there. Big brother L was so helpful and I just melt over the shots of him and his baby sister. Normally I supply the props, but mom was one step ahead of me and had so many adorable hats and pettiskirts for me to play with when I arrived! It was so much fun to meet you all, enjoy your preview!

Baby Girl N, a St Patrick's Day shoot! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn photographer creates natural light studio newborn baby portraits.

This sweet baby girl and her parents came to celebrate St Patrick's Day with us last week at the studio. I was able to get some more adorable garden shots before leaving the green and yellow behind. What color should I plant this week??? Baby N was nice and sleepy for us to play. She was waking up by the shots in the yellow pot, but we managed some with her eyes closed! Enjoy your preview mom and dad. Can't wait to show you the rest.

Little flower. Baby M and big sister S. Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates easter spring sibling newborn portraits

I had so much fun with the family who came to visit the studio today that I couldn't wait to share their preview with you! Sweet baby M was nice and sleepy and her big sister S was a fabulous model and helper. Toddlers can be very unpredictable in their reactions to their new siblings and often the attention showered on a new baby during a newborn shoot can exaggerate this. At 2 1/2 years old, S was so sweet to her sister, so helpful around the studio, and a total ham for the camera. We did the whole shoot in just two hours! I just adore the portraits we got. Here is a little sneak peak:

Baby MJ's newborn portraits. Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates studio newborn portraits.

This little man was so good to me yesterday! He ate his way through the shoot, but had a nice heavy sleepy period in the middle for us to have some fun. We were able to breeze through 4 different set ups before he woke up again. My newborns lately have been rocking the chin -in-hands pose and MJ was no different! It was certainly hard to pick for the preview this time.

Baby M. Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby photographer creates natural light studio newborn portraits

Here is the first of my baby previews today! Baby M was so much fun to photograph last week. She had a perfect little doll face and wasn't too feisty once she drifted off to sleep. I just adored capturing her delicate little features. Thanks for coming in mom and Grammie! Enjoy your preview!
