Usually, my Friday posts are Ernie’s Happy Friday pictures…but I’ve been so busy the past two weeks with moving into my new studio that I haven’t had time to take the little guys picture. He will be back next week though, don’t worry 
For now, you will just have to enjoy this adorable baby in a basket.
- A modern-day Moses, perhaps?
I had the chance to photograph my friends new baby boy yesterday…I was so excited when they worked me into their busy schedule. He is absolutely adorable and I flipped when I saw how much hair he had. He is the 3rd baby I’ve photographed in my new natural light space…and I LOVE it. Enjoy
I had the best session yesterday with 1 week old Kipling. His mom and grandma drove 45 minutes to come and have his pictures made. He was such a good baby, especially when I was trying my new poses on him. Enjoy.

(Your Mom took care wonderful care of my GrandMother Hazel and my Uncle Vine) Your beloved Mother is a good friend to our family. One could not ask for a better friend. Grandma Judy is so proud, happy and feels so blessed to have her first baby Grandson Kipling. She is just beeming. I Hope Mother and Baby Kipling (and Father)are doing well. Congratulations to you and Pike. What a beautiful baby boy. I Love all the wonderful and the beautiful pictures. What a good job on all the poses and pictures by the photographer. Wow !!! GrandMa Judy said he was so good during the picture taking..and all during her visit. It must have broke her heart to have to leave him and not be able to take Kilping with her. He is such a cutie. Give him a kiss and big hug for me. Your Mom is smiling for ear to ear...and is so happy for the safe delivery of her first grandson. Good Bless you Dawn, Pike and your Baby Kipling. Love Judie

When I was in California last week I visited my family who just adopted a standard poodle a few months earlier. This is Petra and she likes to lick a lot…she enjoyed my feet, legs and hands. We went in their backyard for a few photos, it was a little tough to get a good image because she doesn’t like to sit in wet grass. It would be my dream to have beautiful green grass and a palm tree in my backyard like this…maybe one day!
- This dog looks just like a person....crazy!
Meet Austin…the most alert newborn I’ve ever encountered! He stayed asleep for the first part of the session, but decided he was much more interested in us during the second half. Here are just a couple shots from the session, I’ll post more as soon as I’m done editing.
- When you think about, the way he is posed reminds me of how he probably looked in utero. Cool!
- I love them! I can't wait to see the rest!!
- Jess, I want to have a baby just so you can photograph! you rock!!!
- So little and perfect. You captured it.
- How perfectly precious! Awesome shot Jess!!
It’s snowing again! I just realized that Ernie was wearing this sweater in his last snow picture, oh well. Too bad the snow didn’t cover up the shaved spot on his right leg, he got his teeth cleaned this week and they had to put an IV in. Have a fun weekend everybody!
Aren’t his eyes beautiful?? I photographed Levi this afternoon and I just had to share with you this absolutely yummy image.
- I love how his eyes are absolutely luminous and such a beautiful blue!
- so plush and you captured the light in the eyes perfectly j!
- Wonderful baby images lately! gets me excited for my friend's who are having babies soon.. and makes me reeeally want to take pics for them.. How do you shoot the newborns mostly? is it a lot of natural light? or do you implement reflectors and diffusors? Ever played around with the white sheets to bounce light? thanks -Anna
- Jess this is BEAUTIFUL! I need to have a kid just for this reason....an amazing picture!
- J - this is beautiful! it is a combination of art and photography. love it!
