Hello Friends & Fans!

Taja is a friend of my brother-in-law and I've known her for a few years now. She used to hang out and play with Darrius. He loved her and would get so excited when she was at the house. She couldn't get a moment alone to breath if Darrius was around. So when we found out that she was pregnant it was so exciting. I was happy for her and knew that having a son would be a perfect first born for Taja.

I convinced Taja to come out for some belly pictures that the morning turned out to be a little chilly. The light was beautiful.

I tell my clients that are expecting to let me know when they're going to the hospital or message me the day their baby is born. This helps me plan for a day and time slot to have a newborn session. Newborns should have their session within 7 days. Premie's have some more time. The reason for having their session while they are still so new is to have the babies super sleepy and not too alert. Babies run the show! If they don't want a certain pose or don't want to sleep while I'm there, we just have to try something different.

I'm happy to introduce Baby B!

He was wide awake most of the session.

Baby B was born on Fat Tuesday. I had spent weeks decorating my work place for Marti Gras so I just grabbed a few feathers and a mask for Baby Ben's pictures.

Baby B's oldest brother did an amazing job following directions and enjoyed getting his picture taken.

The 2nd oldest brother hesitated but once he got in front of the camera he came alive!

I'm so happy for Taja and I can't wait to see Baby B grow.

XOXO Michelle
