I had the pleasure of meeting little Miss A in my studio for a newborn session.  In fact, she was the very first client that I shot in my new studio space!  I’m not sure my setup impressed her, but it made for a much nicer experience for her parents.  🙂  While they lounged on my couch, Miss A and I went to work.  Well, I worked, she just slept!  She was a great little sleeper too, all curled up and cozy.  She had this daintiness to her that was just so beautiful.  Having met her parents, it’s easy to see where she gets her beauty.  Sorry Dad, but it’s not you!  😉  Ok, maybe we’ll give you a little credit!  Gorgeous parents, gorgeous baby, so much love.

Miss A is just one of the many newborns I’ve had the pleasure of spending a morning with.  I just can’t help myself, I love these sweet little ones.  So perfect and unassuming, from their tiny little toes to their wrinkled little fingers, I love every detail.  Even though they aren’t my babies, I could snuggle them all day.  If you need to smile at some more babies, feel free to glance through my newborn gallery.  If you’re anything like me, it will leave a smile on your face.  They may not sleep all the time, but when they do it’s so beautiful!  🙂

I’m so excited to share the second part of this gallery with you.  Remember this sweet little lady?  I wrote about part of her session a little while back!  If you missed it, you can check it out here.  I just love her session story!  Her grandmother booked her session as a special Christmas gift for her grandfather.  The jacket she’s wearing here was his and these images were a surprise gift for him!  Obviously we had to keep these images secret until after the gift, but now a few months later!  I get to share.  🙂

She is about as cute as cute can be with those cheeks, I can hardly stand it!  You might be surprised to hear, from her session images, that she arrived quite the shy little thing, clinging to her grandma.  I’ll tell you though, she didn’t fool me one bit, after about 30 minutes she was full of smiles and sass.  I love this age, it’s a tough one, but they are so full of personality!

I loved watching her with her grandma.  I usually get to watch the little ones interact with their Mom’s but this was just as much fun.  She loved her so much, it made my heart happy to watch them together.  I know I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, children are my favorite subjects, well as long as you count newborns in that category!  There is an aura around them, innocent and uninhibited.  That doesn’t always mean smiles, but it does mean truth.  ♡

It still feels dreary, but spring is here Louisville!  Are you ready?  I know I am!  Last year, I found the most gorgeous spot for spring morning sessions!  Beautiful light, abundant with flowers, just stunning!  I’m so excited to use that spot again this year!  It’s perfect for family sessions, or just get some new spring pictures of the kids!

This location is spectacular, but only for a short period of time, while the flowers are blooming.   I’ll only be able to get a few of these sessions in, so if you’d like a spot, contact me today!  Jennifer@paintingwithsunlightphotography.com

There is something so wonderful about the 6 month age!  They are starting to be pretty mobile, but not walking yet.  There are lots of laughs and smiles and so much personality!  Mr. N here was no exception, let me tell you!  This baby was all personality and just wonderful!

The thing is, with this age, there is no prompting, it’s all natural.  You get what you get!  You can dance all over the place for smiles and if they aren’t feeling it, you won’t get it.  That makes it harder BUT it means that every singe look, each expression, is 100% genuine and I love that more than anything!  No cheesy smiles, just them, right there, in that moment.  For Mr. N it was just about Christmas time here in Louisville, so we decided on some Christmas inspired shots.  Nothing crazy mind, you just a few simple touches to celebrate the season.  6 month old baby on white bed

As you might imagine, baby N was a big fan of the wooden ornament balls!  In fact, once I broke them out, it was a little tough to take them back again.  🙂  Good thing Mom was there with some distracting kisses to lull him away from the amazing ornament fun he was having.

6 month old Christmas studio session

They really are such a lovely family!  I truly enjoy spending time with them in the studio.  Lots of smiles and laughter, you can just tell they are so happy.  It warms my heart to be around such happiness, especially when I get to capture both the little ones and the family together.  Time goes by so quickly and it’s just such a nice thing to do for both yourself and your children to freeze a few of these moments.  Just one image of any one of my children brings back a tidal wave of emotions and memories.

My favorite images are always the simple ones.  No props, no crazy clothes, just sweet babies doing their sweet baby thing.  At six months old that means I get smiles, sitting up, sometimes rolling and crawling a bit, usually army style 😉 and of course pushing up and playing with their toes.  I can’t even tell you how much I love itty bitty baby toes!  Silly, I know, but those little features change so fast and they are simply so perfect.

I love them almost as much as I love those adorable rolls!  I mean, look at this beautiful little guy!  He is just perfect!

We finished with a full little Christmas card shot with the bokah lights.  I can easily say that Mr. N rocked his session, and the best part… I get to see him again in another three months!  I love my baby plan babies, I get to see them every few months as they grow and change and present gallery after beautiful gallery to their parents.  Tie it all together with an album and you’ve got the perfect collection of memories!  I did this with all of my children and I’ve never once regretted it!  They love looking through the albums with me!  In an era where we are all too guilty of having hard drives full of digital images lost in a sea of incoherent file names, it’s a pleasure to hand my clients a beautiful piece of art that they can hand down for generations and enjoy day in and day out!

There really is just something special about photographing children.  I can never decide who I love to capture more, newborns or children!  Luckily, I don’t have to decide!  🙂  Take a look at some of the other beautiful children I’ve had the pleasure of working with.  These are just a few of the beautiful children of the Louisville area.
