Sweet little lady| Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

These are such bittersweet photos for me!  This precious little baby is my cousin’s newest little doll.  Isn’t she gorgeous?  She was so wonderful to work with, too.  I loved the entire session.  They are bittersweet because they make me realize that my own little baby is growing so fast!  We are actually in the middle of weaning and I’m a great big ball of hormonal hot mess!  I go back and forth between anticipating all the things I’ll be able to do that I haven’t been able to enjoy in the recent past, like weekends away with my hubby or a girls’ night out, but then I’ll start to feel guilty that my little, tiny baby won’t need me as much anymore.  Waa waa waa.  I’m such a sap right now!! :)

Back to this little baby!  This little bundle of girly newness with adorable little lips and sweet lashes.  Did I mention how easy she was for me to pose?  She was a little dream.

I told you! Pure, sweet baby goodness. I’m so happy for my cousin and her family!!

And this makes me anxious for my brother’s newest baby to arrive soon! :)

My last post was a gorgeous maternity session of this little guy’s mama.  Four days after we did the session, he decided to make a break for it.  It was such a quick escape that it landed him in the NICU for a few days.  He came home after eight days and is doing just fine.  He was the cutest little thing for his session and slept so well.  And made adorable little noises.  It was great.

Here are some of my faves from the day. Enjoy!

I had a desire to do an outdoor maternity session for quite sometime.  I wanted something in a field with pretty light.  The opportunity finally presented itself and I fell in love.  It was a happy thing for the session to happen when it did because four short days after these photos were taken, the baby decided to come a wee bit early!  I should be doing his newborn session later this week.  :)

Today I decided to write about my little Paeton.  She has been giggling on my lap for the biggest part of today.  Well, the part of the day that didn’t involve her lathering up her hands with soap and then rubbing her eyes.  Repeatedly.   I seemed to have lost the battle that involved being able to get her to understand that she needed to STOP rubbing her eyes so I could clean her up.  Poor baby.

Here are some cute little photos of her from a couple of weeks ago. 

Serious for a moment.

She likes to wear headbands despite not really having any hair. This is her almost normal way of wearing it. The other ‘Paeton style’ is with the ends resting near her eyes. :)

Her little grin is the best, is it not? I wished I could have put her in better light to show off those eyes, but I take what I can get with her at this age!!

This little guy was so precious!  As the mother of four kiddos who had no hair until they were at least two, I’m always amazed to see babies with hair, especially so young.

Don’t you just want to cuddle him?

Snappies of my Sweet Baby | Northwest Arkansas Baby Photographer

Posted on February 27, 2010

Playing on the bed.  Taking photos.  Getting cuddles.  Life is good.

Soon to be four months!

Soon to be four months

She’ll be four months in a week. Surely that isn’t possible.

I don’t want to forget:

  • Sweet baby grins full of gums
  • clutching my shirt in a tiny fist
  • staring up at me with sleepy eyes
  • little coos and grunts
  • smacking and sucking on tiny fingers

A friend recently brought her adorable daughter over for a quick mini-session. She was such a happy baby and gave us such wonderful smiles!!

I think this tutu begged for some fun processing. Isn’t it sweet?

I got to spend part of this morning with a happy little guy and his wonderful mommy today.  He is so sweet and did so well for his photos!   Here is a little peak into our mini-session.

Sweet baby girl | Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

Oh, how I love this family!  I’ve had the pleasure of taking their engagement photos as well as their wedding.   Now I got to take photos of their sweet baby girl.  I’m having internet problems again at my house so this is going to be a short entry since I’m at a local hotspot.   I promised I’d get the sneak peek up before Christmas. :) I’ll edit it once I get the internet back at my own home.  Until then, just enjoy the sweetness of this beautiful family!

Look at those eyes!  And her lashes were probably the longest I’ve ever seen.  I have to admit I’m a little jealous of them with my own short, blonde lashes.  :)

I hope to have my internet issues resolved, a sneak peek of a lovely wedding, and a few fun photos from my girls’ birthday party up on the blog soon.   Happy Holidays to all!!
