Paper Moon Photography

Since it’s been quiet around the blog, I’m posting alot from this special session. I don’t know if I mentioned it before on here, but I’ve tried to take January off from shooting for the most part. All the little jobs (doing up pricing brochures, making business cards, printing my own pictures, designing wedding albums, etc) tend to get delayed when I’m shooting so steady. But when I got a call last week with an inquiry about photographing newborn twins, I couldn’t say no. Before this year, I’d never photographed twins at all, and now, in the past three months, I’ve photographed 3 sets of twin girls! These were my first newborns though, so I was up for the challenge.

These two sweeties behaved very well! We took our time all afternoon, but we got a variety of shots together, and individually. It was so neat to see a real life miracle. These twins girls were brought into this family at the perfect time, and are going to be a blessing to everyone around them. Congratulations on your wonderful little treasures!

This little guy is lucky to have a wonderful, caring big sister welcoming him to the world.  She is so in love with him, and will no doubt become mommy’s assistant. Little girls are just naturals that way I think. We stole dad’s boots from him for a few shots, and the blanket that babe is wrapped in belonged to dad as a baby. The fact that it matched the boots so well was just icing on the cake. 

PEACE, MAN!

Yesterday afternoon I was thrilled to be able to take pictures of this little guy.  He was probably the easiest, most cooperative newborn I’ve ever done. He just let us put him in whatever position we wanted to, and he loved being naked. Mom and I were both nearly ready to pass out from having the heat cranked so high in the studio, but he was happy, so all was good. I wanted to get these images up a.s.a.p. because little M’s one set of grandparents live in Pittsburg, so they haven’t gotten to see him yet in real. So here you go Crowe family. Your newest addition!! I can’t imagine how excited you all are to come and meet him next week. 

This image below was a yawn, but it looked so much like he was laughing at the best joke ever!

I had to lead this post with the image below. It took us awhile to get this little guy good and asleep, enough to mold him where we wanted to. Once he was finally sacked out though, I was able to get him into the bowl and I put his hand on the ball. It only stayed a split second, but it was enough! I love this picture!! We got many more, and even though mom and dad thought he wasn’t all together cooperating, he was a great baby. He never even pooped or peed on anyone, which is rare for a newborn session. :)   He’s got a great family to come into the world with, and I’m sure his big sister will be a second mommy to him. Enjoy the mini preview!

I got to meet a sweet little girl tonight, and she is perfectly beautiful!! You can see her mommy’s belly pics here.  My 3 year old was quite excited to meet her as well, and spent alot of the session with us, checking here out. She was a very hungry girl, but we did manage to get her on her own for a bit.  Here’s God’s miracle for today.
