Today I had the opportunity to photograph 11 day old baby Coen. What a handsome little guy he was! He certainly made me work for the poses, but in the end he gave in. Congratulations to the new parents!
They say that for each child you have, the fewer the photos you take of them. I always remind myself that my children are my inspiration for photography, so I still try to take as many photos of them as I can. Now that my youngest is 5 months old, she has recently discovered her fingers and toes. Maybe I have mommy goggles, but she looks so adorable when she grabs them! I had to take a picture of her before the onslaught of newborns comes again!
Wow, she’s getting so big! These are wonderful! It’s not mommy goggles at all–she really is that cute!
Not mommy goggles at all!!! Love the texture of the blanket and her diaper cover against the smooth baby skin! She has gorgeous eyes!
WOW! She is a CUTIE PIE! I love your blanket too. SO gorgeous.
AMAZING eyes!!!! So gorgeous!!!!! These are incredible – love the clarity!
Awww, she’s darling. No mommy goggles, definitely. Makes me want to try for a girl – ha ha – don’t tell Ben, I think he’d go over the edge with five kiddos. 
I hope you had a happy birthday! Miss ya!
This little girl was my youngest and smallest so far. Mom and dad certainly listened when I said I like them as young as possible – she was only four days old! This little girl was quite the trooper, despite being so young. She was absolutely beautiful, as were her parents! Enjoy your sneak peak, mom and dad!
So pretty April! I love these!
