Cutie-pie Wesley was just the sweetest little guy for his newborn portrait session.   Whether awake or asleep, this sweet little guys gave me the most adorable little expressions.

One of the benefits of being a photographer in Springfield, IL is the awesome collegial relationship that I have with a lot of other photographers in the area.  Whether is be a fun dinner get together, a helpful post on our facebook page or our weekly business discussion group , I feel so blessed to have great working and personal relationships with my fellow photography business owners. Community   In fact…several months ago when my studio flooded (uggh!) I was so blessed to have a fellow photographer allow me to use her studio for a month, a MONTH you guys! (You are amazing Tara Long!)

Last fall, another awesome photographer (Jill Gum) in the area took my own families images as well as some headshots of me for my website.  If you are getting married, you MUST contact her….her wedding pics are to die for!!!  And guess what?  When she had the cutest little baby boy, guess who was lucky enough to capture his studio newborn images? Yep, sweet little Evander, aka Evan, made his way into the Blue Daisy Art studio.   He was such a sweet little guy and he, along with his big brother and sister, were just perfect angels for the session.

Many of my favorite newborn sessions are the sweet and simple ones.   Neutral, soft colors that focus on the sweet tiny details of the baby are my preferred route almost any day (can you handle those sweet baby rolls?)    So many times we get caught up in the many cute poses and props we see on pinterest and we forget what the session is REALLY about.   So, when sweet Cameron’s mom told me that she was up for anything but preferred simple and neutrals, I was very excited.  Add in some awesome hair, gorgeous lips and two sweet big sisters and I was a photographer in heaven!
