"...and she loved a little boy very, very much, even more than she loved herself." ~ The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

A little over a week a go I had the pleasure of meeting this little guy just a little less than 24 hours after he arrived. I absolutely LOVE doing Fresh 24 (or 48 as the case may be) sessions of these little sweeties. All the newness, the tiny details, the new parents...it is all so beautiful to me and I definitely felt right at home capturing these special and priceless moments. I loved capturing the tiny details through a series of freelensing, a technique that highlights details beautifully and one of my favorite artistic touches I like to add to some portrait sessions.

A Fresh 24 session is so special, in that it is very natural and captures the real moments. Also baby changes so fast from day to day, capturing those first hours and days is definitely unique compared to a traditional newborn photo session. As a mama of 3 I can definitely look at these with mama eyes and see these fleeting moments and want to capture them all for my wonderful clients. I hope these memories are cherished for a long time. Thank you so much for allowing me to come in and meet your little man and capture these for you.

Blessings~ Anna

P.S. All these May babies are making me nostalgic for when my firstborn was born 7 years a go today. :) It goes so fast...

 And a little freelensing details....;)

Ok...a few more freelens shots with mama and baby...

Oh and this kid is going to be a total natural in front of the camera...as I was leaving I asked if he'd turn his face towards me and here he is sleepily doing so...;)
