All new moms are in love with their babies.  But some have this all over glow about motherhood and that’s just how I would describe Jennifer.  She is obsessed, in love, totally addicted to her little girl Macy.  Even being pooped on, peed on and spit up on can’t discourage her from her job of being the best mom ever.

Meet little Macy, she is one lucky little lady!

Macy did a fabulous job on the shoot.

Daddy Dave was just as adoring.

Baby Macy, you totally made my day.  I loved getting to take your pics.  Grow up to be big and strong just like your parents.

xoxo

Babies don’t always come in smiling.  In fact, at little adorable Claire’s last shoot she was in, a not so happy mood.  But the stars aligned for this shoot, and I was able to capture her at her very best!  I love this little girl!  Meet Claire.

Momma Melissa is all love.  Her energy is calm, fun, and absolutely adoring when it comes to Claire.  So much for for me to photograph.  I have a feeling this is a picture she will cherish forever.

OH YAH!  On the left, this is Claire’s normal face.  She’s all about having fun!  On the right is her less common, more subdued take care of me face.

Claire is all… Mom, Dad stop it!  Really, stop it, but keep kissing me.

Oh how I love this family.  When Claire, Melissa, and Michael come into the studio, I get giddy.  It’s like seeing long time friends.  I say…make more babies so I can keep seeing your regularly!

xoxo my friends.

The shoot started just like any other newborn shoot, with a sleepy baby in the arms of an adoring new mom.  Everything seemed normal, but as we progressed little Riddik started spitting up.  A lot.  Jason and Kathleen looked worried, and I assured them I see tons of newborn that spit up all over place.  I tried to comfort them by explaining it was probably something Kathleen had for dinner, that had his stomach upset.  But Kathleen’s ancient motherly instincts were telling her otherwise.  And she was right.

As it turns out, my mom is Riddik’s pediatrician and he had been to see her that morning.  Everything looked fine, but as the day progressed he was keeping less and less food down.  So by evening they made the decision to take Riddik to the hospital.  He had surgery for intestinal mal-rotation done and is 100% great now, but it was a very trying time for the new parents.

I’m just so happy Riddik is on the road to recovery, and that I get to be a part of this strong little boys life!

Kathleen you are such a natural at motherhood!

Just look at all those wrinkles.  Adorable!

Since the pictures my mom has seen Riddik and he is gaining weight and growing all the time!  So happy for this family!
