newborn session: baby benjamin

i have been blessed and happy to finally meet baby benjamin. the 1st and 2nd time i met him was when he was still in his mom's belly for her maternity shoot. during that time, they still didn't know if the baby was going to be a boy or girl :-)

this photo was from the 1st trimester photo session. that's benjamin's sonogram. during that time, they already had thought of names for either a boy or girl. :-)

see his mom's maternity sessions here: (click to go to the pages)
1st trimester - 3rd month
2nd trimester - 7th month

the photo session was held a few weeks ago just right before i left for a vacation ...with the whole family this time. :-) the session was part of 3-session package. (either a 3-session maternity package or belly to baby package) baby benjamin was only about 2 weeks old. he wouldn't sleep most of the time but he finally got to his napping by the end of the session. it was good though 'coz then i was able to take shots of him both while he was awake and sleeping. we also had to make time for some feeding sessions in between which is normal for newborn sessions.

i want to thank his mom and dad for playing some baby music during the session. :-) it made the session more relaxed and also might have been soothing for baby benjamin too. thanks again for welcoming me into your home. it has been great sharing this experience with you.

thank you again for giving me the opportunity to shoot the maternity and baby sessions. i hope to see you again! ;-)

lots of love & congratulations again...

newborn session: baby alex

i had the wonderful opportunity to photograph another adorable newborn. he had beautiful blue eyes like his mom's and dad's. the photo session was held in their lovely home just before i left for a vacation during easter weekend. it was a lovely sunny day which brought in some nice light into their home.

baby alex wouldn't sleep during most of the time but i'm glad i still got great pictures of him while he was awake. he was a very good baby and stayed still most of the time. the only time i had a difficult time was when i put him in the basket and he kept kicking the blanket. :-) we finally also got some shots of him while he was asleep just close to the end of the session.

i'd like to thank his parents again for welcoming me into their home. it was nice meeting all of you and thank you for all the assistance too. i hope you like the photos.

i'd also like to thank Maureen again for giving the photo session gift card to the family and giving me this wonderful opportunity.

lots of love...
