Newborn Session - Iva Ann

 There is nothing else I can say about baby Iva than what a dream she was to photograph. I had fully prepared for it to take hours (newborn photography can be challenging between baby crying, peeing, pooping, wanting to nurse etc.) but she slept the entire time. She let us put her in whatever positions we wanted. 
 And she has the best baby lips I've ever seen. 

The end.

Family Photoshoot

I had the pleasure of photographing the Silberberg Family last weekend. They were absolutely the easiest family in the world to photograph. Little baby Lola almost always looked directly at the camera, and sweet Landon had been practicing his smile all week. If only they could all be this easy!

DIY Gold Metallic Halloween Decorations

I saw the cutest gold pumpkins at Target - but each one was $6-9 bucks. Now, I'm not the craftiest of people but I knew I could make those myself. I went to the Dollar Tree and found a couple of small orange pumpkins (sort of a paper mache type material) and a plastic bobble head skull for under $3. I bought the gold spray paint at Micheal's using a 50% off coupon so it was only $2.50. I quickly sprayed them on my patio outside, let them dry, and voila! I still have so much spray paint left - I'm tempted to start spraying everything in my house gold.

Sweet Newborn Hospital Session

I've visited my fair share of friends in the hospital to meet their tiny babes, but I have never been in a room that was so calm just a few hours after baby made their arrival! Mama was absolutely glowing and seemed more like an experienced mom than a first-timer. I was once again blown away by how tiny newborns really are. For the first time since having Avery, I may have had a pang of longing for the newborn-ness.

Welcome to the world sweet baby Iva Ann!
