5 Day Old Newborn Baby Boy!!!
{Northern ILL Newborn Photographer}

This little guy is a Good Friday baby born at 7 pounds 7 ounces and only 5 days old when we photographed him.  He was sooooo good for us.  It took him awhile to go to sleep, he was fighting it all the way.  But once he was out, he was in what I call a “milk coma” and just did an outstanding job.  He is welcomed home by of course mom and dad and his big sister Ms. S who just adored him…. and I just adored her.  I had a hard time not following her around with my camera but had to keep reminding myself that I was there to photograph the baby.  LOL  She was just to cute for words.

Anyway, it was so good meeting you and your beautiful family.  Mary Ann and I had a great time with you at your home and we hope to see you again soon.

Newborn Baby Boy!!!
{Waterford WI Newborn Photographer}

This little guy was soooooo good and so, so, so cute.  As you may know, I typically love photographing newborns when they are around 6-10 days old.  However, sometimes it doesn’t work out like that.  Most mom’s will call while they are still pregnant (which is awesome) and many will also do a maternity photo session with us as well like this momma did.  But sometimes things happen that are out of our control. This poor little peanut was born with a broken collar bone so we opted to wait until he was healed as I would definitely rather work with an older newborn verses the risk of hurting him more trying to photograph him.  So, now at 5.5 weeks and all healed and doing much, much better… he was a dream to work with.  He was awake for a majority of the session but then at the end we totally lost him in dream land and he was putty in our hands.  🙂

It was so good to see you again mom and it was great to meet you dad.  You have such a precious little guy.  I know the first few weeks and even a couple of months are hard with a newborn and the lack of sleep is a killer.  But, don’t blink because that is how fast it will go by.

Beautiful Baby Boy!!!
{New Berlin WI Newborn Photographer}

This gorgeous baby boy was 3 weeks old when these photos were taken.  He was/is soooooooo cute and he was so good.  He didn’t really want to sleep for me which can make things a little harder sometimes but not really true with this guy.  Even though he didn’t sleep, he was very content just laying there and/or being held.  No fussing at all…. a lot of talking and well, a lot of peeing too.  Hahahaha…..

Anyway, I photographed his big sister 3 years ago and was so happy to meet her little brother.

What a beautiful family.

Thank-you, Kimberly

In 2009 AND 2011, Kimberly Ann took part in the search for America’s Cutest Kid and she took first, second and third place in the state of Wisconsin.  There was an overwhelming response to this contest and together, in the last few years, the contest featured over 2,600 model’s and raised over $200,000 for the NILMDTS organization.

Finalists will be determined by online votes. Each vote is $1 (no limit on the amount of votes you can cast), and all proceeds from votes benefit Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS.org). 

The top 25 vote receivers will move on to the final judging round to determine the winners for a chance at the above prizes and to win the title of Americas Cutest Kid 2012.  Grand prize winner and the runners up will be determined from the 25 finalists. The winner and runners up are selected by photography experts.
