Lately I’ve been talking about my little brother and when we left off I had shared that a) he’s not so little any more, b) he’s scored himself a darling wife (how, don’t ask me – haha, just kidding little brother), and c) they were expecting their first ‘lil peanut.

Well, the little peanut has arrived and he’s as darling as ever! I was super stoked when my little brother asked me to photograph their little guy and since I need to make up for being a bratty older sister at times when we were kids, I gladly agreed.

Some of my favorite newborn baby photos are the details of these precious little beans….from tiny toes….

….to newborn baby fuzz….

….to little pouty lips….

….and soft eyelashes….

…and you gotta love eye contact when babies seem to stare right into your soul.

So what do you think? Isn’t he precious?

Until next time,

Sweet newborn | utah newborn photographer

Is there anything more precious than a soft, sweet smelling newborn? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. This little chunky monkey is the newest addition to Jake and Erica’s family and everyone couldn’t be happier.

Speaking of sweet smelling babies, my husband hasn’t really been around newborns enough to remember and appreciate how wonderfully intoxicating their lovely scent really is. Since Jake and Erica are good friends of ours, they came over a weekend or two after their session so my husband could meet the baby in person. As I smell her head and swim in the sweetness, my husband out of curiosity does the same. “Oh my gosh! She DOES smell good! I didn’t know what you were talking about but I totally get it now,” he exclaimed. I think Erica and I laughed about that the rest of the night. Well, I laughed between inhaling that is.

Look at how sweet she is. Can’t you almost smell her now?

Don’t you just love newborn fuzz?

Until next time,

I was going through my archives recently and came across some images from a newborn session I never shared here with you. Well, that’s not entirely true; I did show you two images in this post and this post already but those were teasers so I thought I would share a few more now.

Don’t you just LOVE newborn peach-fuzz?

not to mention wrinkly little feet? *sigh*

Gosh, has it really been over a month since I last posted?! Sheesh, where does the time go? It seems like I blink my eyes and another week, month, year, whatever, has passed me by. I suppose time flies when you’re having fun, right?

At least I was able to capture the preciousness of this little squeaker a few days after she made her entry into this world; preserving these memories for her loved ones before the passing of time morphed her into a baby instead of a newborn. She is quite the beauty don’t you think?

My absolute favorite — love this one!

another favorite — how precious is this?! big strong Daddy with tiny peanut. *sigh*

Ohmygosh, this baby is the cutest ‘lil thing! She is long but still so tiny and as adorable as they come! But, after you see her older sisters, it’s not hard to understand why — they all are adorable!! I could have photographed these little darlings all day long.

She slept almost the entire time during our session so I am super excited I got some peaceful newborn shots. Awww, newborns are just so dang perfect, aren’t they?!
