Portraits by Angie Lane Celebrate Life Blog

This session was so much fun! I thought for sure we wouldn’t get any sleeping pictures of this little lady because she was pretty “old” for a newborn — 3 weeks. But once mom fed her, she conked out and slept the rest of the session — even with me moving her around and putting her in different containers!

This little guy was pretty alert throughout most of the session and he really liked being held by mom or dad, so we ended up doing most of the pictures with them holding him — and even though he got a little fussy, mom and dad stayed totally calm, which was awesome! I always tell parents you just never know what will happen at a newborn session so we just have to go with the flow! I love the picture with mom holding him and he’s cracking a smile! So precious!

I have had so many sweet newborns lately! It’s been like Christmas!

This little guy was so chubby and squishy! And he has such a proud big brother!!

This little peanut was such a sweetie! She had the perfect ratio of sleep vs. awake. And we decided that her daddy’s voice is a real calming influence on her because with all the pictures we took — her alone, her with mom, her with dad, she ONLY had accidents on dad! I think he had to leave the studio shirtless by the time we were done! I’m sure daddy won’t forget that soon.

I’ve decided 5 days old is the perfect age! This little sweetie never made a peep! She let me do whatever I wanted and she didn’t even poop on anything (that’s a first!) She’s so tiny and curled up! It was awesome!!

This baby is so adorable — but he sure did not like being naked! Once we decided to give up on the naked baby pics and put his onesie on, he was totally happy.

Aren’t these the sweetest big brothers!? This was such a fun photoshoot! I love being able to incorporate personal items into the portraits, and this family had tons of handmade, special touches — like the furniture that daddy made himself! And handmade linens from relatives in Italy! It was awesome! Congrats on your beautiful baby girl “A” family!

This little guy was awake for much of our session, but completely content and so sweet! Congratulations on your little man F family!

This little sweetheart was so tiny and girly — she reminded me so much of Kayla when she was born! It seems like just yesterday and now she’s 6 1/2! Enjoy your precious girl G family — she’s a keeper!
