Baby Brett - - - New Jersey Baby Photography

Here's the baby boy I met today. He has his days and nights mixed up, so he usually sleeps all day, but he stayed awake for me. Hopefully that means his parents will get some sleep tonight!

Brett's mommy is beautiful and she was rubbing his back so lovingly.

Such a sweet new young family.

He was so calm when they swaddled him.

I love this one. No posing or fancy background. Just real life mommy and baby, and real love.

Xander - - - New Jersey Baby Photographer

Today I had a newborn shoot. It's hard to believe just three months ago my baby was doing the same things this baby was: pooping all the time, nursing all day, doing big stretches, wearing newborn sized clothes. Now he goes to school, smiles every time he sees Daddy, laughs, splashes and kicks his feet in the tub, has chubbalicious baby rolls, knows to pull the toy to make the music play. Three months ago I just wanted him to stay a tiny baby forever and couldn't imagine loving him more than I already did, but he gets even better by the day.

Here he is last weekend. We love him in a polo shirt. He loves to stand up and walk on Daddy's chest and do Super Baby!

We let Daddy sleep in last Saturday and did some tummy time with the boppy. I love his perfect face.

This is one of my favorites. Such a classic Xander face and I love the way his Daddy is gently holding him. He's got the best Daddy.

This one is from today. Just hanging out on Mommy and Daddy's (and sometimes Xander's) bed, happy as can be. It's a very good life.

Ava and Gia

Today I met these two beautiful little girls.

This is Ava. She's three and she likes princesses, has beautiful brown eyes and a sweet happy smile.

She even looks so pretty with a serious face.

And this is Gia. She's one and likes to walk around and show off her teeth, be read to by Daddy and held by Mommy. Look at these blue eyes! I've been wanting to order a new big gallery wrapped canvas sample and I think it's going to be of this one. Isn't she a perfect little doll?!

Gia's Grandma showed me a picture of Gia's mom wearing this very same dress when she was little. I think it's so special that Gia was able to wear it today!
