Griffin & Cecilia :: Newborn Twins

He comes a whole lot of CUTE x 2!! I was so incredibly happy when Erin emailed me about photographing her twins, and to top it off – a boy and girl! I feel like lately I’ve been given some pretty cool and unique experiences with clients. After lots and lots of newborn shoots, I can honestly say I’ve never had the pleasure of photographing twins. I was a bit nervous before this shoot. I dreamt the night before that I just went the shoot and played with the babies the whole time. By the time I realized I needed to start the shooting, it was dark outside and I had no window light. HAHA! Who dreams about this random stuff? I woke up relieved!

Anyway, so Griffin and Cecilia were so sweet and well behaved! They slept for me almost the entire time, so we were able to move them around a good bit. I’ve been anxiously waiting to share this session with you guys, I just finished up with the photos :) Thanks again Erin and Donnie for giving me the opportunity to photograph your little peanuts, they are too adorable for words! The twins were just around 5 lbs each, so we stayed inside for this shoot. A little different than the typical newborn stuff I usually post, but I am so thankful for this. It PUSHED me to think harder, to study, to practice my lighting, to get creative and find new props and ideas! LOVE LOVE!

I mean…. seriously??

Wittle smile!Sweet as pie!!I think I need this really big on my wall!!Melts my heart!Cecilia gave us a ton of smiles :)They love each other!!Christmas gifts came early for Erin and Donnie! :)

I photographed Stella last week and she did great! It’s been nice and warm outside and the little ones love that :) This seems to be what works best for me: photographing the babies outdoors in natural light. Even during the winter I’ve had moms swaddle their babies in blankets and put heating pads in the baskets in order to get these types of shots! I’m starting to realize over the past several month… people are booking me because they want a certain look and style in their photos. It’s funny the more I’m given the opportunity to shoot, the more I’m able to see my photography go in a certain direction. I’m always on the hunt for new props and new blankets in order to continue this direction. I have literally outgrown our shed with the baskets, rockers, chairs, stools, barrels and props I have. I think I need more space!

Thank you to Randy and Lindsey for allowing me to photograph your sweet little STELLA! Love her name! I can’t wait to watch her grow up and I am so happy to have another cutie join the “Grow With Me” club! I had fun with you guys, bearing the heat and all!

Here are some of my favs from the day. I love that fabulous leopard beanie!

I see a little tiny smile :)Look at those LIPS! Too cute!

Good morning world! It’s a beautiful day and I don’t think it’s supposed to rain today, which is always nice! I started the day of right with some exercise and now I feel like 100 bucks. Make that 200! Ready to tackle everything on my to-do list. I really should get in the habit of waking up and working out. I feel so much better!

Who remembers this awesome Maternity session with my friend Gia? Sweet baby Giulianna was preparing to enter this big ole’ world! It’s always fun to go through this process with a couple who is expecting a baby. I am so excited that I was able to document their Maternity photos and now I get to capture Giulianna for the entire first year of her life :) This ‘Grow with Me’ baby sure is stylin’! Her baby pink vans slip ons were the cutest things ever! Big brother John sure looked handsome, too! We squeezed in some new portraits of him while there, I love his long hair! I drove to Covington, LA to photograph this session, love the outdoor country whimsical look I was able to get in some of the shots.

Here are my favs from the day, I wish could share ALL of them because Baby Giulianna is just so precious!

Seriously… those SHOES!! :)Could she be anymore precious?!So dream-like. LOVE THESE!!Yawnnnsss….Last, but not least…. a few of big brother John!

Meet little Miss Lily! Soo, the past few newborn sessions I’ve done- I’ve really been spoiled! They have all been wonderful. Barely any fussing, they all just nap so peacefully in this warmth outside. As you all know, I do all of my sessions outdoors in natural light. Even my newborns! I just love the contrast of baby, with bright colored blankets/baskets set against the natural color and texture of the outdoors. Every now and then I photograph inside if there’s really pretty window light.

Lily was an angel and she did so well for her session! I’ve known Blake and Ashley for a while now, so I was excited to photograph their new addition. My ‘soon to be’ sis-in-law made some adorable headpieces for Lily. The rosettes are my favorite kind and the jeweled embelishment made it even prettier! She is in the process of making about 10-15 of them right now and I will most likely feature them on the blog soon. Email me if anyone wants to purchase some for their session or just to have! They are so cute with any outfit.

So here’s Lily, sweet as pie :) Check out those leg warmers! haha

New baby feet!Smile :)Lily has the most precious features!The hairpiece, LOVE!!!I think I see a little smile in the right picture :)And another smile! Cutie!
