i love newborns

this is bryson gideon, son to my friend sheridan. we had been trying to schedule this shoot for almost four weeks (since he was born) and something always came up.

well on this day, what came up was the weather. rainy. overcast. dark. and i knew the lighting conditions in sheridans house were less than ideal for a photo shoot. especially on a dark day.

so i called and broke the news.

she called me back in tears begging me to come over and try. how could i resist a hormonal mommy AND a good friend?

i went. and i am SO glad i did. the lighting on her bed was perfect.

feast your eyes on the cuteness of her boys by clicking here.

the boys and baby foot shot was totally inspired by margie. when anna was born, she showed me an entirely magical photo she had taken of her two older girls and baby eliza. feet only on a flowery quilt. so i took one of my own. and it is still a favorite thing to do. thanks miss margie.

*i had to cancel my shoot today because i am too sick. i didnt start feeling better. so i am taking advantage of the home time and getting some computer stuff worked on.

  1. Don’t you just want to gobble him up? What a darling little baby *sigh*. They are all so great, but I absolutely LOVE the one of the family, with the parents kissing and big brother looking up at them! Perfect :) Hope you are feeling better.

  3. Tara, Stop stop posting all these awesome photo albums. I need some sleep and I can’t stop looking. I admire your work so very much. My photo shoot is not until Sept. and when I look at these I know it will be worth the wait. You have me down right??? :)Thanks for sharing!

  4. Oh sweet Jesus! These pictures are so, dude… they’re so… i mean, what does someone say and they’re speechless? They’re PERFECT! Makes me want to have a baby again and you KNOW I don’t want to have another baby. ;) ((((sigh)))) But to have pictures like this with my two boys… You are NOT doing good things for my birth control method, Tara!!!!!

    You the master, T. Superb! Magical! Fabulicious! Your friend must be so stoked to see these.

  5. I don’t suppose you’ll be in Indiana next April? SO jealous of the new mommies who get to have baby photoshoots with you! We’re having our first kiddo at the end of March. :-) Hope you’re feeling better! -Jen

  6. Awesome photos, Tara! Your friend must be in heaven! Love the baby shots on the black background…totally beautiful and classy. What do you use….velvet, cotton sheet, fleece? Looks great!
    Hope you are feeling better soon, take care of yourself and get plenty of rest!

  7. Tara, I’m sure my husband would not appreciate you fueling my baby fever with these photos. They are fabulous, as usual. The feet are too precious! Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

  8. long time lurker ;) I love looking at your photo albums. they are so inspiring. I love the way you capture people as they are. I have to say the feet on the bed shot is so fun. I have one of my kids I did March and it’s still one of my very favorite photos ever. fifty little toes all lined up. it’s perfect. :)

  9. Tara… I am so glad you came and we found good lighting! I love the pictures of course, I knew I would. Thanks for capturing my boys and family so perfectly. You are truly an ARTIST!
