Sweet Dreams
Photographing a sleeping baby isn’t as easy as it looks. This session took three hours. Babies are ready to sleep when they decide they are ready, not when the photographer and parents decide it’s time. I take great care to make an environment in which the newborn and parents can feel safe and comfortable. Heaters, sound effects, soft music, and a cozy bed are all necessary elements to create fine newborn photography. What I think is most important though, is having the right touch. When I hold a baby, they know they are in safe and experienced hands. I have three children of my own. I love getting to soothe an infant and get him or her to relax and fall deeply asleep. Then I can work my magic.

I have photographed the Coleman Family since 2000 when their oldest was just born. We’ve had nine sessions over the years and many visits, so the kids know me very well. I have loved seeing them grow up. Do you have a relationship with a photographic artist who knows your tastes and personality?

Welcome to the world baby Aden! I recently photographed baby Aden then only days old. It got me thinking about the relationships that I make with my clients. Those relationships are the thing that I enjoy most about my career. I get to make new friends every day, hear the stories of their lives and share in some of the important moments. I am looking forward to seeing Aden every few years as he grows up. He and I both wil feel a sense of comfort and relaxation knowing that at each portrait session that we are going to see an old friend.

Beautiful art styles are timeless. I was inspired by the Mona Lisa for this piece. The background was hand painted by one of my favorite background artists.
