Sweet Baby Reynold-Ann Arbor, Michigan Newborn Photographer

Posted on March 14, 2012

One of the great parts of photographing newborns is that, even at such a young age, each baby has his own distinct personality. Some babies would let you hang them upside down (not that I would ever do that!), and others are perfectly content until you want to move them around. They are smart enough to know that sleep is a precious thing! Sweet baby Reynold made us work a bit for great shots. He would sleep like a champ, until I tried to move him. Haha! None the less, we prevailed. We got some fantastic shots of him. I love that mom and dad brought some of dad’s law school books. It was a little tricky getting him to sack out on them, but once we did, he was out! Thanks for letting me meet your precious little boy!

Twice as Nice- Ann Arbor, Michigan Newborn Photographer

I was so excited to photograph these beautiful twins. Once baby is amazing, but two…I was in heaven. I will never get tired of snuggling babies that are fresh from God.

Olivia and Connor were such sweet little babes. It was amazing the difference two pounds made! They both were little champs while we posed and posed and posed! I couldn’t get enough of Connor’s fantastic hair and Olivia’s perfect little lips. Hope you enjoy this little peek at these tiny little twins!

Dad is a firefighter so that picture is especially meaningful!

I am happy to announce that my little guy arrived in October. We are all enamored with him and have enjoyed the time to adjust to having a baby in the home again! J and Miss P adore him and it has been so cute to watch them with him. They want to help with everything from changing diapers to feeding the occasional bottle. They lay with him on the floor during tummy time and will run any little errand I ask them to on behalf of their brother. It is great!

I am hoping to start updating here again soon. This past year was a crazy one for our family…from being pregnant and having a baby to having my hubby living away for an internship last summer, it was a very busy year. I am looking forward to all this new year holds and taking lots of pictures in the process!

Hope you enjoy some photos of my sweet, little guy. I need to take some three month shots now!!

I had the pleasure of flying out to photograph my newest nephew a few weeks back. He was the tiniest, sweetest little peanut and I felt honored to be a part of his young life. Congrats to my brother and his wife for creating such a handsome little fellow!

Banner Boutique Giveaway!!-Southern Utah Photographer

Posted on June 9, 2010

I have talked about this and finally have my act together and am doing it. I found the Banner Boutique over a year ago and have been in LOVE ever since. I have a crazy number of hair accessories for my business and my daughter, but once I saw Lindsay’s flowers, I will never buy another flower elsewhere. Her flowers are so high quality, unique and absolutely gorgeous. She finishes them off so well too. Seriously…check them out. Buy some. They are amazing!!

So, on that note, Lindsay, at Banner Boutique has been kind enough to giveaway a $25 gift certificate to her etsy store. Is it sad that I am sort of jealous that I can’t enter my own contest? Before we get to how to enter, though, I want to briefly introduce you to Lindsay…

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I have been happily married for 7 years and have a 5 year old daughter, 3 year old son, and 3 month old baby girl. I am a southern CA girl and miss it dearly, but am embracing my new desert home in AZ.

2. When did you start your business?
The idea was probably born when I was five…but the actual Banner Boutique started about 4 years ago doing only wholesale to upscale boutiques. We have since expanded to do online sales.

3. How did you get into making flowers?
When I had my first baby, Kaitlyn, I searched high and low for cute hair accessories-they were always hard to find and way overpriced. When I did finally find them, they were never quite “right” as far as style…so I started making my own.

4. What is the favorite product you offer?
It changes day to day–they are like my children, I love them all! However, I would have to say “The Audrey” is my current obsession.

5. Anything else we should know about you?
I adore crafty, beautiful things! Nothing makes me more happy than to see a gorgeous baby with a gorgeous hair piece to top her off…it’s like the icing on the cake. NO ONE can resist coming up to a darling baby with a flower on her head!! NO ONE!!

So, go check out her etsy store (linked above) and her blog. Then, come on back and leave a comment telling me how awesome her hair accessories are and which is your favorite. Remember…most of the headbands can be on clips too, so they are great for all ages.

Here are a few recent pictures that I did with her flowers. Thanks, Val for letting me use your adorable baby for these shots. Seriously, folks, check out the hair on this baby!!

and thanks to my great friend, Lisa, for having such a cute daughter to model off my new purple clip!

Feel free to scroll back through old posts and see more of her excellent work! My Litttle Miss is modeling a few of her hair accessories in the last sesssion I did with her in the black pettiskirt!!

I mean come on…look at that head of hair. Isn’t he divine?? At four weeks old he slept as well as any newbie.  Thanks for letting me photograph him Nicole. He is gorgeous!

and making me more baby hungry by the minute.

(oh, and if you love the hats…my cousin makes them and will be doing a giveaway on the blog once I get my act together! She does AWESOME work!)

This little guy was the strongest baby I have ever photographed. He would hold his head up and throw his body back. It was pretty amazing. He slept fantastically and he is such a beautiful baby. Congrats Andrea!

Can you believe how sweet these two are?? Big sis was as proud as can be of her new little sister. It was just the sweetest thing!

Wow. I am behind. Sometimes life gets in the way of my blogging!! Life has been good to us at the Shaw house though, so I can’t complain. I really can’t believe we are starting another week already. These next two are busy ones. I will try to update, but we will see how I fit it all in.

Enough of that…I got the privilege of photographing a dear friend’s new little bundle. This little sweetie debuted five weeks early. After a brief stint in the NICU she is home. It was so fun to buy new girlie hair accessories just for the occasion. She is a beautiful little thing with lots of dark hair. Can’t wait to watch her grow!!
