Sweet little chickadee. Massachusetts Newborn Portraits by newborn photographer Heidi Guerard. RI newborn baby in home portrait photographer.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the sweet little baby girl born to a couple you may remember from a few months ago.  Born two weeks late, this little newborn reminded me so much of my own daughter as an infant.  Sweet and happy and sleepy in your arms... until you put her down!!  haha  Baby B just wanted to eat and be held.  Adorable, but certainly a challenge for those sleepy newborn poses (and if I recall, very exhausting for mom and dad).  I feel bad, I must have bored mom and dad with endless stories of G because this little girl brought back so many memories.  To get my newborn shots of G took me 6 hours and lots of nursing.  We were much more lucky with baby B.  With mom and dad's help, we would get her to sleep, gently place her into a pose, jump out of the shot for one second, and snap it before she woke up!  And wake up she always did.  She was actually the first baby AWAKE in my newborn hammock.  I normally would have never attempted that.  It was dads idea to try it and he was right, she loved it!  Mom and dad were so laid back and we did manage to get some amazing shots.  One of my favorites is the one of mom and dad below.  I loved working with this family over the past few months and I remember that feeling on their faces so well.  I'm so happy that I was able to capture it for them.  I also adore the nest shot.  One of my new all time favorites!  Enjoy your preview mom and dad :0)

Newborn Baby C. My teeniest newborn! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby portrait photographer. In home and on-location newborn portraits.

Yesterday I had a double header and was all over the map! My day started off with this adorable newborn baby girl, C. The day was extra special because it was actually Baby C's due date. Baby C made a very early appearance almost 6 weeks ago at just over 4 pounds. She spent a few weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Newton Wellesley Hospital, but was finally home with mom and dad when I came to visit. What a special way to celebrate her homecoming! For our session, C was already over 6 pounds with the most adorable chubby cheeks. She was my teeniest newborn so far, however I must say, she peed and pooped more than any newborn I've ever worked with!!! Me, mom and dad were all completely covered. None of us minded though, because C was such a sweetheart! Enjoy your preview mom and dad, and your sweet little angel :0)

Baby L, 19 days old! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby portrait photographer. In home newborn portraits.

Here is the sneak preview from today's little man.  You might remember mom and dad from here.  He was a bit older than my typical newborns, turning 19 days today.  Usually after 14 days old they start to get much fiestier, and baby L was no exception.  Just when I thought he was really in a deep sleep, he let me know I wasn't getting away with any funny stuff by letting out a loud roar!  We did manage to get a few sleepy shots though, and I think mom and dad will be very pleased.  My favorite part about L was his adorable hair.  I've been lucky with the full manes on my last few newborns.  I think it looks so cute in photographs!  Enjoy your preview mom and dad.

One very sleepy boy! Ma and RI newborn baby portrait photographer.

Here is newborn number two from last week, baby M. He was one of my best newborns to date. He let us curl him up in all sorts of fun places from daddy's police hat, to a basket in the living room, to a giant shell that grandma requested. Here are just a few of the adorable portraits we ended up with. Even with all of the cute props we were able to play with, my very favorite shots are the last two with mom and dad. Obviously a gorgeous family, it was easy for my camera to love them, but it was how much they loved baby M that makes those last few so special. Enjoy your preview :0)

Two more newborns last week! Smiley baby boy. Rhode Island newborn baby portrait photographer

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing two adorable newborn baby boys. Both were under two weeks old and super sleepy, just the way I like them! This first little guy was born to the mother of one of my favorite maternity sessions you may remember from a few weeks back. I loved visiting with mom and grandma again, and meeting dad, and am so excited to be coming back twice this year to capture how much baby R grows with the baby's first year package. Baby R was already a pro in front of the camera (just like mom!) giving me tons of sweet newborn smiles. Enjoy your preview!

Sleepy girl! Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn baby portrait photographer.

Here is newborn number two from last Friday. This little girl could not have been easier to work with. She was so sleepy and sweet. Mom, dad, aunty and I all had so much fun posing this little one. I wish I could bring aunty along on every shoot, she was a total baby whisperer! The only thing we had trouble with was getting a shot with baby D's eyes OPEN for mom and dad. I did manage to get a few that you will see in your gallery :0) In the meantime, here is your preview. Enjoy.

Awake little man! Rhode Island and Massachusetts on location newborn portrait photographer

I am finally sitting down in my new office, ready to proof a whole load of sessions. I thought I would get my two newborn previews up before getting lost in digital file sorting. Friday was two newborns back to back. Here is the first little man. This session was a little longer than most, lasting over three hours, and the entire time little F wanted nothing to do with the sleepy newborn shots we all had in mind. It just goes to show you that babies always have their own agenda! I still had so much fun visiting with F's family. Turns out all of them together were some of my best shots from the session. Big brother T was one of the easiest toddlers I've ever worked with at a newborn shoot. He definitely stole my heart and almost stole the show... but as you can see below, little brother F holds his own in the adorable department! Finally, on my way out the door, we got one sleeping shot of F in his swing, and it was totally worth the wait :0) Enjoy your preview!

So many newborns, so little time! Rhode Island newborn baby portrait photography studio

Yesterday I had two newborns back to back. They were both equally adorable but COMPLETELY different sessions! The first little man wanted nothing to do with sleep but his adorable older brother kept my camera very happy. The second little girl could not be woken up! Here is one shot I couldn't wait to get up. Both full previews should be up by Monday so check back in :0)

Sweet Little Angel. Newborn girl's newborn baby portrait session: maternity and newborn portrait photographer

Good morning! Here is the rest of your preview from yesterday's newborn session. Could this little peanut get any cuter? I had a hard time picking my favorites for this preview because I have so many new favorites! I loved working with this family. P is such a gift, enjoy every moment! Of course, if you haven't already, check my last post for one more favorite of her!

I hope you had as much fun as I did :0)
