Howie's newborns

This was not even a week after Howie was born.  Such a sweet little guy!

Baby Noah

Remember that looong post I wrote about my friend Rachel who was trying to adopt? Well, she finally was able to adopt the most precious baby boy! He was actually born only 2 days after Reese (my baby girl), so it was so much fun to get together with Rachel and show off our new little ones to each other.

Notice how Reese is being a little fuss budget and Noah is being so sweet and sleepy?  She is SUCH a little girl and is constantly making noise whether she be talking, whining or crying.  I just love her to death, despite the whining:) I think they will make a perfect little couple in 20 years, don't you?:)

Rachel's adoption story is on her blog and I highly recommend reading her posts about it.  She is an incredible writer and she has an incredible story!

Anyway, here are some adorable photos of Noah!

Isn't she such a beautiful new mother? I love the way mothers look at their new babies.

His aunt Laura was in Utah with Rachel while they were waiting for the adoption to finalize, so she came along to the shoot.  So fun!

Rachel's mother-in-law made this gorgeous quilt for Katie, Noah's birth mom.  She also made one for Noah.  Katie is such an incredible individual, and so strong for choosing adoption for this little guy.  She couldn't have chosen a better couple to be his parents!  

Congrats again Rachel and Ryan!!

Baby Conner continued...

I love little newborn faces!

This is a tender moment on the right with Shanna comforting Conner when he was sad
(probably mad, actually, because I was really throwing off his sleep/eat schedule!  Sorry little guy!).

It was so fun to meet little Conner (after his very much anticipated arrival!) and to photograph him.  He wasn't much of a sleepy newborn, but we lucked out and got some great sleeping and awake photos!  He is so handsome.  Congratulations again Mark and Shanna!!

A sneak peek from a recent newborn session.

Isn't he darling?

Baby Liam

My sister-in-law Elsie had her baby over a month ago.

I can't believe it's been that long since Liam came into the world.

It's an amazing experience to be at a birth, but this was special because this little guy is my nephew.

Thanks Elsie for letting me come photograph!

Little Liam was the cutest newborn I have ever seen.

Have you ever seen ANYONE look this good after having given birth to a baby? Seriously. She looks amazing!

Hey Baby!

Isn't he cute?

This is her little boy.

When I got there he was WIDE awake and had the biggest eyes.

But, as little babies do, he fell asleep quickly.

I hope you're all thinking "aww" in your head.

'Cause he is stinkin CUTE!

I love how his little toes. He wouldn't just lay his feet and legs down. They seemed to be sticking straight out:) So cute.

The very proud parents!
