Rockabye Sweet Baby James. And Rockabye we did. To little avail. Prior to my Monday sessions, the other times I’d actually seen James, he’d been out like a light. But not for our session. And do you know what? I am TOTALLY great with that. There is this photographer myth that newborns have to be asleep to get awesome images. And yes, it’s much easier to curl them up and pose them when they are. But seeing as that I emit caffeine from my pores, and seemingly wake up every newborn I spend time with, I’ve adjusted my style to really embrace lifestyle moments. And I LOVE it. I might actually chuck the bean bag and the backdrop all together. Really.
There are a few other reasons I am simply in love with this session. I got to spend time chilling with Steph. And then little Gracie (my son’s future prom date) curled up next to me and proceeded to put on every newborn item I had in my bag. And Colin came home to be the amazing older brother. And it was rainy and grey and I shot the 2nd part of the session at f/2.8 ISO 5000. And I knew it would be B&W grainy. And I loved that too.
We have some future plans for Sweet Baby James involving some super cute new things I want to try out. We’ll feature those in the next installment of the Sweet Baby James Show! Stay tuned!
Yes, I realize this is a monster of a sneak peak. And I know I should be doing my taxes. But Steph deserves this!
Great captures. What cuties.
These are all so sweet
Beautiful clarity and light.

Simply Beautiful Kristina – makes me want to have another baby JUST so I can get photos like these!
The Maloney’s make gorgeous kids! Emerson just looked at these and said “that baby is cute, but I know he is not real, he is just a doll.”
He does look like a perfect little baby doll! She has been calling her baby “James” since looking at the pictures…
He is such a sweet little muffin, they all are. But you take the pics that catch them in that beauty
Oh Kristina…these are so precious. I am in love with every one of them. The close up of the little girl..those eyelashes…that shot…perfection!
