Baby Brandski Has Arrived

You may recall, a few months ago when I took maternity photos for the "Brandskis" (If not, this link will jog your memory). The name is in quotes because it's a mix of their two last names. A little Brangelina if you will.

In April, little baby Brandski (Will) was welcomed into the world. Such a handsome boy. I took these photos when Will was just 4 and half weeks old.

I always love these photos of baby in their crib, because they grow so fast, it's fun to see how small they used to be.

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE these of mama and baby. Laurie made such a beautiful pregnant woman, and what and incredible mom she has morphed into. Seriously, she's a natural.

Will has the best room for a nursery. There's a great door that leads onto a big balcony. Perfect for opening the door and rocking baby boy to sleep with a nice breeze ...and some rockin' gospel on Sunday mornings.

One of the great things about doing photography with newborns is that they don't tend to care or even notice a camera in their face. On the flip side, as a photographer, we are at the mercy of the baby. ...but, that sometimes leads to some of my favorite photos.

I've noticed that dads tend to be very nervous the first few weeks of being a dad (understandably so), but it was amazing to watch Mike rock and soothe a cranky Will. He definitely had the magic, calming touch.

Trying so hard not fall asleep.

During the maternity shoot, we took some shots in front of a great window in mom and dad's room.  We wanted to get something similar with little William. It's hard to believe a full baby was in that tummy just a few weeks before.

Thanks again Mike and Laurie (and Will) for bringing me in to capture such a momentous occasion. You have a BEAUTIFUL family, and I can't wait to see how it keeps growing in the years to come.

Until next time...
