Newborn | Kathy Howard Photography

A few weeks ago I had the extreme pleasure to meet Mr. R. It was his one month birthday!!

He is the first child of a great friend of mine, who has also taught two of my children. She is amazing to say the very least!!

I arrived at a ‘decent’ morning hour, and we let Mr. R tell us what he was in the mood to do. He is SUCH a sweet and mellow little man. Ohh, I hope I get to babysit him, hint hint…

Here are a few favorites from our morning together …

“She went that way” !!

He was not smiling yet, but I could totally see it in his eyes!

He is known for his ‘old man’ forehead – love those little wrinkles & wonderfully chubby cheeks

A whole lot of love going on in this house. I did in capture a lot of special mother & son moments, that we have decided to keep private.

Thank you for sharing your little man with me! I can’t wait to see that baby smile soon!

A few weeks ago a fellow photographer friend of mine was looking for an assistant for her newborn twin photo shoot. Lucky for me, I was available. I’ve only done one newborn shoot, and it was almost two years ago, so I was ready to get my feet wet again. Nothing compares to hands on experience!

These two little miracles were so good for us. They only fussed when they were hungry, and responded well to our patting and shushing It took a whole lot of patience to get them to stay in these poses, but was it ever so worth it!

I was hoping for a newborn smile … definitely a favorite image from this year:

This blanket is extra special because their recently passed Grandmother made it for them before they were born:

We played with one while the other was being fed. Look at how GOOD he is … just staring at me, and dare I say he smiled for me too! (Cute little wrinkly forehead – loved it)
