It was 20 degrees outside and the little guys were cold, cold, cold!  What to do to get those smiles back?  How about look for buried treasure?  Thankfully, I live close to the location we did our photo shoot for the Odom family and know all the hiding spots of the geo caches.  We snooped around and found one in an old old tree that had been uncovered thanks to the recent warmer weather.  Rhys and Kennah opened it up and decided to keep the little frog they found inside.  Smiling problem solved!

On a cold, wintry day in February, the Stromquist family and I took a venture out into the snow for a family photo shoot.  I asked them to wear boots and gloves to stay warm and to also bring a sled so we could have some fun with the kids during the session.  At one point while mommy and daddy were pulling their little cutie pies, the little ones toppled over into the cold snow.  Pretty funny!  Okay, funny for the adults, maybe not so comical for the kids, but they shook it off and we got some great smiles from them even after their little “oops!”

There is nothing better than spending time with brand new babies!  I love all parts of newborn sessions: cozy, crunched up small miniature bodies; wide, alert eyes, looking around at their new world and even the foibles of awkward first-time parents trying to figure out how to hold their new bundle of joy.  Thought I’d share a few recent photos from my newborn session with 10-day-old Adelyn in late February.  She was so sleepy the entire time we were shooting and then woke up right at the end of our session so we could get a few photos of her with her eyes wide open.  Notice, too, that her toes are a little purple in the first shot?  I always have a heater on and she was plenty warm, but for some reason we could not warm up those little toesies!  Sweet innocence.  Sweet eyes.  Sweet pumpkin pie.
