After a difficult loss, Kim and James decided to adopt a baby. In February of this year, they came to Chavvon and I and asked if we would do the pictures that they would provide to the adoption agency that provides the pictures of potential adopting families to the birth mothers. We were thrilled when they called and said their new baby was here, and we were so excited to do their baby pictures. Congratulations James and Kim, you are wonderful parents, and Levi is so blessed to have you! Here he is at 8 weeks old! What a great model!

Oh my goodness, to see Brayden’s robot! He is very serious about his moves, not cracking a smile while performing, but as soon as he is done….. CHEESE!!!!! During this session I learned a new trick from Jasmine ( Brayden’s mother) which I must say I do not know why we never thought of it before! We were trying to get Brayden to put his hand in his pocket, and he continued to give us that popular 2 year old answer of “no”. Plain and simple, “no”. Jasmine went to the car, got some money, put it in his pocket, and that was it!! He left his little hand in there just long enough to get a couple of perfect shots!!!

What a great time we had with them! Thanks Jasmine for calling us, we had so much fun with you two!

We always send a questionnaire to our clients and one of the questions is “what really gets your kids excited”. For these two, the answers were football, candy, and dancing! woohooo! Those are our kind of kids :) The boys warmed up to us pretty quickly and the first pic in the blog is the very first pic of the day!

Another thing you need for clients to hire you for newborns is pictures of other newborns you’ve photographed.  We didn’t have either….until last week :)  Amanda and Martin had a beautiful baby boy and they were kind enough to have trust in our photographic abilities to let us shoot their baby!  We had lots of ideas for this shoot and we only had time for a few of them.

We can’t wait until the next shoot to bring some more ideas to life! We had so much fun photographing this little guy. If you’re having a baby and would like pictures, please contact us!

See pics below!

We took a nice variety of shots in the city and at a nice little garden we have nearby, so we’re excited to show off these pics!

This is where we had to stop for a little break….the pastries at this bakery look soooo good. But I resisted!!
