Newborn Photography

Life's Images specializes in newborn art images.

Photographing newborns is perhaps the most challenging and most rewarding portrait work.
The miracle of new life never escapes me as I watch these little bundles of joy!
They are already works of art!

Your newborn photo session should be scheduled in the first few days of life - we can even schedule before your infant is born! Under 2 weeks old is the ideal time to capture the new, wrinkly, beautifully bundled and folded baby.

Sessions between 2 - 6 weeks are still considered newborn sessions and are just as precious. Your session will showcase more alertness, more fullness in the curves of a baby. They may or may not sleep or cooperate in folded positions.

Great local service for moms: Morningside Nannies

Many parents (including yours truly) need someone else to help take care of their children at times...when they go to work, plan an evening out, or cannot use their regular provider because of closure or illness. In fact, just last week, I stayed home 4 days because my girls took turns running a fever - nothing else, just "mommy can we do this and that and this" kind of fever. It can be difficult to find someone that you trust with your angels.

A great guide for making your decision - Morningside Nannies, a placement agency for nannies. They offer live-in or live-out nannies to fit your needs, already screened and interviewed. I was surprised that they also provide temporary services - baby nurses for newborns (who couldn't use a little help then!), care for ill children who cannot attend school on the same day that you absolutely cannot miss work, group care for events, and baby sitting for that night out on the town.

Of course a placement agency should have credentials too, right? Pat Cascio, owner, has been placing nannies for 23 years and is the president of the International Nanny Association. But you should check them out yourself!

It's Cold Around Here!

I just returned from a photography conference in San Antonio - you know, the place that was 75 degrees last week?! It maintained a cool 30 - 35 degrees the entire time!!! It didn't stop me though... I learned a lot from some very experienced and fun photographers from all over the US... some 7000 of them. If you don't feel inspired being in that company, there is something wrong!
I hope to take all I learned (and am still soaking in) to make your portrait experience even better!

Updated website...

Holidays = Family

It is one (great) thing to be blessed in this life... it is something entirely different to know and appreciate it. My holiday session was such a treat :)

Happy Holidays...

I hope yours is full of wonder and magic!

The check was almost $400!!!

The donation to the Montgomery County Women's Shelter has been made for 2006, in honor of Angela. I am so excited about the possibilities for the years ahead, as I have plans for garnering many more participants! Thanks so much to those that participated in this first annual effort - be on the look out for this event between August and November...

A babe is born

It is fun getting ready for the holidays... the season inspires families to come together for love and celebration - and often to record the magic of their own families that particular year in the form of portraits. No season is necessary, however, for the magic of a new baby:

A smile

Simple adoration

The magic of every detail

Have Camera, Will Travel

Officially the traveling photographer... I just returned from a very brief (but long!) trip "home"... to West Texas. I had a great time and thank these families for welcoming me into their homes and sharing their families. Here are a few from two of the families. I just had to add an outtake as well - it is amazing what you can tell from just a few short hours with a child - he is a HAM for sure!!!

It's November...

It has been a busy time here lately.

• Life's Images Photography's first annual Purple Ribbon Sessions have been completed! I will post information about the donation to Montgomery County Women's Shelter when all orders are in. Look for this event between August and October of next year!
• Five auctions at local community events have been completed and I am proud to be a part of raising funds for some very worthy causes. You can read the updates on the "Art of Giving" page of my website.
• I have been working on a display outside of my studio, and in a week's time you will be able to enjoy some artwork (and pretty darn cute kids) while shopping at Baby Towne Spring.
