This sweet little one is already so very loved. She came into the world a little early, so we waited to do her newborn sessions until she had plumped up a bit! 🙂 Still tiny at 5 weeks, she is simply perfection.

I had a bit of a hairbrained idea for this little sweetheart, and I’m so glad the final image turned out adorable! I had been antique shopping in downtown Snohomish and found the most realistic looking giant fake leaves. As a newborn photographer, shopping is always fun! I am constantly asking myself “Can I put a baby in that?!”, and I imagined a newborn snuggled up like a little cabbage in a cabbage patch. Isn’t she the most adorable little cabbage? Mom and Dad are avid gardeners, so its just perfect for their family! What’s the French phrase? Mon Petit Chou? (My little cabbage).

These gorgeous girls were so much fun to work with! I don’t get twins in the studio very frequently, so I always get excited when I get the chance to photograph them! These two ladies were both so sweet, but had wildly different personalities. One wanted to be awake most of the time, while the other was sleepy and content. So much fun!

Mom and Dad look AMAZING, despite getting very little sleep this last month! The girls are one month old, and just gorgeous.

I made a quick video of my prep for this sesison HERE (https://www.facebook.com/junebugphotography.org/videos)

And guess what?! We were able to get through EVERY SINGLE SET UP I had planned! I got to work with my amazing assistant (and great friend…and neighbor!) and I am loving having her in the studio to lend an extra set of hands. I love that mom and dad were able to just sit back and relax, while we did everything!!

I had fair warning that this little princess was a light sleeper. I planned lots of set ups where she could be wrapped and snuggly, which Dad said she LOVED. Luckily, we were able to get her to sleep toward the end of the session and I got some adorable sleepy time photos too. This is seriously the best of both worlds, because she was so content while awake and has the most stunning eyes! She watched my every move, and was so curious about everything I was doing. I was able to convince mom and dad to pop in for a few photos too, and they are just so adorable as a family of three!!

This handsome little dude was so fun to photograph. He definitely kept me on my toes…and made me practice my stealthy pacifier stealing moves.

Mom and dad are so clearly smitten with their little man, and it is easy to see why. He is a total snuggle bug! Dad brought in this adorable basketball, which was the PERFECT size for him to lean on (don’t worry, the image is a composite of two separate images, and my hand was on him the entire time…ah, the power of photoshop!) The basketball was so perfect, of course I had to buy one for the studio. I have a problem.

This little snuggle bug REALLY loved to be swaddled. She has the most gorgeous hair, and is simply stunning! Despite wanting to be snuggled, she let me get some adorable non-swaddled poses…it just took a bit of trickery. My sloth-like movements lulled her into submission!
