Sweet Baby R {Sneak Peek - Las Vegas Newborn Photography}
Las Vegas Children's and Family Photography: Las Vegas Baby Photography, Las Vegas Newborn Photography, Las Vegas Photography, Sneak Peek | Leave a Comment
This little honeypot was another of my 2009 beautiful babies. You may remember her gorgeous Mama from here as well. At first Baby R wanted NOTHING to do with sleep, but with a little Mama Magic she finally dozed off enough for me to get some really sweet photos.
I just love how she is all stretched out in this photo, and really, who could blame her. A nice warm space heater, soft comfy blanket, and a bean bag to sleep in, I’d be stretched out too!
I am loving that this hat is FINALLY getting some use. I bought it ages ago and for a long time it just sat in my newborn box.
Isn’t she a honeypot!?!
Thank you so much Mama G for a beautiful maternity and even better newborn session!!

2009 Wrapped Up {Sneak Peek - Las Vegas Newborn Photography}
Las Vegas Children's and Family Photography: Las Vegas Baby Photography, Las Vegas Newborn Photography, Las Vegas Photography, Sneak Peek | 1 Comment
This is my last session of 2009 and let me just say, I am going out with the cutest bang ever!!! Meet Baby J. Oh my, this little dude gave me a run for my money and at the tender age of 2 weeks won his very first award. What award you ask? The award for peeing on me the most out of all of my newborns. Congratulations Baby J, I know your Mommy and Daddy couldn’t be more proud {especially since they got more than their fair share of pee too}!!! =)
Baby J with his beautiful eyes, wide awake, happy as a clam with little signs of falling asleep. Luckily Mama and Daddy know the trick to getting him asleep and soon he was fast asleep {ok, maybe fast asleep is a little exaggerated, but enough for me to do my thing}.
Speaking of Mama and Daddy, you can view a few of their maternity photos here. She was a beautiful Mama to be and looked fantastic after having little man only two weeks ago!
Baby J gave a little smile and luckily I was fast enough to catch it. I LOVE baby smiles almost as much as baby toes.
I think Mama was a little sketchy about the tail hat, but after seeing how completely adorable Baby J was in it, combined with the fact he loved it, I think we won her over. =)
And last but not least, the little Viking Warrior. =)
Thank you so much Mama L and Daddy J for another wonderful, fun session. I will be done with your gallery soon!!
*I still have a few [a few as in 5, oops] 2009 sessions I haven’t blogged about yet, so if you didn’t see your session don’t worry, I’ll get caught up soon!! Since you’ve seen your galleries already they really won’t be sneak peeks, but the photos are just too cute to not share. =)
Baby Hungry? {Sneak Peek - Las Vegas Newborn Photography}
Las Vegas Children's and Family Photography: Las Vegas Baby Photography, Las Vegas Newborn Photography, Las Vegas Photography, Sneak Peek | 8 Comments
Ok, maybe I’m not totally baby hungry, but I could totally take little G home and eat her right up!! I am in love with this little girl. She is pure perfection from head to toe and I was SO excited I got to photograph her for one of my oldest and best friends Mama J.
I first met Mama J when she applied for a job where I used to work [what feels like a lifetime ago]. The rest, as they say, is history. We worked [and played] together for like 9 years until I had my own little beans and quit my job to stay at home with them. The good news [for me anyway] is I get to pop over and hold this beautiful little girl anytime I want. The bad news [for me anyway] is they are most likely going to move somewhere far, far away and I’ll be sad, sad, sad.
Ok, enough talk, onto the photos.
That little dress above is actually Daddy J’s Christening gown when he was a baby. I think that is so special and sweet, especially since my baby gown was stolen, never to be seen again. =( The little hooded shawl below was hand made for Big Brother E by his grandma [I think, my memory isn't what is used to be] and now worn by little baby sister.
And I FINALLY got to use my new sleigh bed [baby doll bed from Pottery Barn Kids]. =)
I couldn’t quite decide which I liked better, the color or black and white, so I’ll just post them both.
And last but not least, little baby bits. Funny story about the lips photo below. As I was looking thru my macro lens to take the photo I noticed she has her mama’s EXACT lips. I mean, they are identical with no little hoopy do on the top. So stinking cute!
Thank you SO MUCH Mama J for a wonderful photo session. We’ll be over to visit [hopefully] soon!!
What I Shoot People With {Las Vegas Newborn Photography}
Las Vegas Children's and Family Photography: Las Vegas Newborn Photography, Las Vegas Photography, Me Myself and I | 1 Comment
I get a lot of emails asking what I shoot with and what lenses I use so I’ll just give a rundown here of my current lineup {and my wish list lineup as well}.
Camera Bodies:
Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 50D [my backup camera]
Canon PowerShot SX100 IS Point and Shoot that I use mainly for its video.
Lenses:
Canon 50mm f/1.4 - By far my favorite lens. One day I hope to own the 50mm f/1.2, but until that day comes the 1.4 is just peachy. It is SUPER fast, great focal length, sharp, and produces the best bokeh EVER. LOVE this lens for portraits and I use it at 75% of the time at every shoot I do.
Canon 24-70 f/2.8L - I just got this lens as my old Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 is not compatible with a full frame camera. So far I love it, although it is quite the BIG and HEAVY beast. A zoom is way more convenient, especially for the little tots, but I’m a prime lover at heart so while this lens will be used, it won’t get as much use as my 50mm.
Canon 28 f1.8 - I got this lens when I only had my 50D to use at newborn shoots when my 50mm was too long and I was in a cramped working space. I have used it a handful of times and while I do like it I am considering selling it now that I have a full frame camera. I don’t see it getting as much use as say an 85mm would [which is on my wish list]. I would LOVE the Canon 85mm f/1.2, but whew, it is NOT cheap.
Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro - I used to use this lens for nature, flowers, insects, etc. but now its main use is at newborn shoots to get the little bits [ears, nose, feet, hands, lips]. This lens is also great for portraits, although it is almost a little TOO sharp. Who wants to see closeups of wrinkles. =)
Tokina 50-135 f2.8 - Again, I got this lens when I only had my 50D and since it is not compatible with my 5DII I’m not sure how much use it will get. I am contemplating selling this one as well and getting an 85mm.
Also on my wish list is a Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 and once again it is NOT cheap so I’ll keep dreaming. =)
Accessories
Canon Speedlite 580EX - I never ever use this. I much prefer natural light. Once upon a time it didn’t leave my camera, but these days it sits on a shelf and collects dust.
Slik Tripod - I rarely use a tripod. I don’t take many self portraits and really have no use for it when I photograph people as I’m running around chasing kids like a loon.
Wireless Remote Shutter Release - Eh, I could live without this. I never used it for Macro which is why I bought it so it too has a layer of dust on it.
Camera Bags
Shootsac [by Jessica Claire] - I recently got this bag [again, thank you wonderful husband] and LOVE it. It is not a typical camera bag - this one is for your lenses to make it easy to change them out while shooting. Very comfortable, very convenient, very awesome!
Lowepro 200AW - My main camera bag that I used for years. It straps on and is pretty comfy. Holds two bodies [one with no lens attached] and two extra lenses. Has enough storage for cards, batteries, cell phone, etc. Now that I got my Shootsac I don’t see this bag getting as much use.
Misc
Extra batteries for both cameras
16gb Compact Flash, 8gb Compact Flash, 4 - 4gb Compact Flash, and a 2gb Compact Flash
Hand Strap from My Funky Camera on my 5DII and soon to be on my 50D.
My friend Denise gave me an old Kodak Duaflex II- TTV [thru the viewfinder]. I do LOVE this look and as soon as I get more than 5 minutes to myself would like to start playing with it again.
And because every post is better with a photo I’ll leave you with Baby G. You’ll see more of this little honey in a few days.
