Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day! | {Appreciating Moms} | Reno/Tahoe Newborn Photographer

I know it’s late, but better late than never, right?

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! To my mom, all my clients, friends, and family! I put together an animoto slideshow featuring some of my clients in appreciation of mom. I hope you enjoy it!

Before we get to that, I’d like to also offer a special in honor of mom! Today (Thursday, May 17th 2012) until tomorrow (Friday, May 18th 2012) at 6pm, you can get a special deal on that CANVAS you’ve been wanting! Get a 20×24 for just $199, or if you want to go just a little bigger, get a 20×30 for $239! That’s a savings over $100 on either size! You can order these from a past, present, or FUTURE session with me! You must place your order by 6pm tomorrow to get that deal, though, so hurry!

Without further ado, enjoy this tribute to moms! Happy Mother’s Day! (If you want to expand the size of the slideshow, make sure to click where it says “360p” and up the quality to “720p.”)

Miss Adeline | Reno Newborn Photographer

Ah, sweet Adeline. What a lovely little lady! She was pretty easy to work with, and we managed to get a few shots that I have to say may be some of my most favorite shots ever. I love creating beautiful art for my clients and I love getting to see it printed up so they can hang it in their homes. I can’t wait to get their order back so I can see these in print! It’s really difficult to choose just a couple to show. Oh, and take note of that darker pink hat, Adeline’s grandma made that just for her. Isn’t it beautiful?

Her parents are such kind people, it was really fun working with them. I am reminded of why I love doing this when I get to work with such beautiful babies and wonderful parents! Thank you for welcoming me into your home and asking me to capture this special time for you!

Little Catherine {Newborn} | Reno/Sparks Newborn Portrait Photographer

Sweet little Catherine was so tiny at just 5lbs 2oz. She was easy to pose, easy to move, and was easy to get to sleep, too! Because she was so interested in modeling (or maybe she was bored with me, but hey, she slept!), we were able to play around and get some portraits of her throughout their home. Her parents are such a nice couple, and they have great decorating taste, too! I love to make portraits more personal by incorporating shots of the nursery or pictures with items from around the home into the shoot. They have such a beautiful home, so it was easy to find plenty of spaces for portraits. Catherine’s parents are so in love with her!

I love that they heard about me from another client and friend of mine, I love getting referrals!

Thank you, R and M for asking me to come and capture these portraits for you of your amazing sweet little daughter.

Enjoy your portraits!

Baby Jaxsen {Newborn} | Reno/Sparks Newborn Photographer

Meet Jaxsen, the perfect little model! Once he was out, he was really out. He was content to be moved around and posed and squished and snuggled, just a dream to work with. I love my job! It is great to work with a family starting before the baby is born, when the excitement is building and everyone is patiently (or not so patiently–haha) waiting for the new arrival, and then getting to come meet the new baby. There is a shift from being anxious, excited, and general curiosity about what the new baby will bring, to being just so in love with this new, perfect little being. Even though life is chaotic with a newbon, there is a sense of peace and happiness among the family in these first few magical days after a baby arrives. I love being a part of this, I love that families choose me to capture these life-changing moments in time for them.

Thank you to M and J for asking me to be a part of this with you. I loved working with little Jaxsen!

Note: I just want to say that there has been a lot out there lately about newborn safety during a newborn portrait shoot. It is really important to be sure that a baby is safe and supported at all times during a photo shoot. I will not risk the safety of a newborn, they are always spotted and supported. For example, the last shot in this post (Jaxsen on the wooden rocking horse), he was supported by mom’s hand under the blanket the entire time he was on the horse. At no time was he sitting on the horse without someone holding him. The final image has mom’s arm cloned out of the shot to give the appearance of him laying on the horse alone. If you are shopping for a newborn photographer, please be sure that they take all precautions to keep the baby safe at all times. It is not worth risking your baby’s safety for the sake of a photo. Now, back to the point of this post…the adorable baby!

Sweet Kendall {Newborn} | Reno-Sparks Newborn Portrait Photographer

Meet Kendall, a sweet little newborn who put up a fight to stay awake for her session! I’m patient and I waited her out though, and we were able to capture some beautiful images of such a sweet little girl! You might recognize her parents from their maternity session in the fall. I love it when I get to do both maternity and newborn portraits for a family like this!

Hats featured are by Hallie’s Closet, run by a local woman who is amazing! If you are looking for some cute hats, I’ll get you in touch with her, or you can search Hallie’s Closet on facebook.

Without further ado, here’s Miss Kendall:

Pure Beauty {Maternity} | Lake Tahoe Maternity Portrait Photographer

I love being a photographer! I get to work with beautiful moms and babies during such an amazing time in their lives, and I get to capture this beautiful, amazing miracle called pregnancy in gorgeous portraits like these. My job is to make moms feel as beautiful as they are, and to capture this amazing time in their lives so they can treasure it for a lifetime.

Jenny is one beautiful, peaceful mama. I love her attitude that everything is laid back, it’ll all work out. She’s very active, skiing, biking, hiking with her dogs and husband, I bet that will make her whole labor a smooth endeavor! She was up for anything, even though it was freezing cold outside. I’m so glad she was! We braved the cold, January afternoon in Lake Tahoe with the breeze blowing, making it even colder. I kept a large, fluffy, warm blanket on hand to wrap her between shots. In the end, it was worth a few goosebumps for these!

Thank you, Jenny, for being up for anything and trusting me to take these portraits for you! I can’t wait to meet your little guy!

My favorite image from the day is this one–goddess-like, flowing fabric in the breeze, with Jenny’s perfect baby bump, the sun, and the lake. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Gorgeous Mama-To-Be {Maternity} | Reno, NV Maternity Portrait Photographer

This beautiful mama will be having her baby soon, so keep your eyes peeled for her newborn photos! We did these maternity shots a while ago on Thanksgiving weekend. I normally don’t work holiday weekends, but I made an exception for this sweet woman and her beautiful family for some maternity and family portraits. We headed out on a chilly day to one of my favorite locations and found some beautiful light and great backgrounds. It makes me happy looking at these! They are even more beautiful in print!

M and J, I can’t wait to meet baby J! Thank you for asking me to photograph your family, I enjoyed spending the evening with you!

The “P” Family | Lake Tahoe Family Portrait Photographer

Now that Christmas has passed and friends and family have seen the pictures of this beautiful family, I can finally share!

I’ve known this family for 5 years now, since I was pregnant with my daughter. In fact, the mama here is and has been my doctor since I was pregnant with my daughter. It was so fun to spend some time with Dr. P’s family, her kids were full of energy and lots of fun! They cracked me up with their ideas and their games. There is a picture below of “J” laying on the grass…he told me he was being an “animal rug.” I smile every time I look at these, and I hope the “P” family does, too! Our session was on the north shore of Lake Tahoe where it was a little bit chilly, but not too bad. The lake was absolutely gorgeous, that day, perfect for skipping rocks and for beautiful, silhouetted family portraits.

Thank you so much for asking me to take your family portraits this year, I hope they are enjoyed for years to come!

New Beginnings {Maternity Portraits} | Sparks, NV Maternity Portrait Photographer

Meet Katie and Shane. They are a sweet couple with great style! Katie is a hairstylist at Tres Image in Reno (she’s fabulous, by the way, I highly recommend her if you are searching for a new stylist in the area!). One of her coworkers did this awesome henna tattoo on Katie’s belly for her maternity portraits, I thought that was such a cool, fun idea! I’ve not previously had anyone do that, so I was excited to see that she had thought to do something so fun and unique for her portraits.

Their baby, L, has already been blogged, I just got behind so this maternity session wasn’t previously posted. Enjoy this beautiful couple’s portraits!
