This little guy was an absolute doll.  He took such a great nap while I photographed him.  Thanks for bringing him over to the studio! As you can see we got some great shots of him.

Oh little princess, you make my heart melt. Don’t forget to head over to the Facebook Fan Page and vote for the Cutest Kid.  Also, I am still looking for 2 more newborn models.  Click here for the details.

I am looking to update my newborn portfolio and am looking for a few models.

The details:

WHO: I need newborns under 10 days old, both boys and girls.  The baby MUST be less than 10 days old when the session takes place.

WHERE: My studio in Heber City

WHEN: Anytime between now and April 15th.

WHAT YOU GET: You receive a FREE one to two hour “mini-newborn session”.  My goal will be to capture one or two poses I would like for my portfolio.  Depending on the temperament of the baby, we may have time for additional poses.  For your time, you will receive a FREE 8×10 print ($50 value).  You then have the option to purchase birth announcements, additional prints, gift items, etc. at regular price.

I will only be taking 5 sessions with this promotion.  Please forward this on to any friends/family that are expecting a baby in the next 2 months.

Contact me at laurameans@me.com if you are interested.

Of course I can’t do a post without pictures…

I love seeing the flaky peeling skin…

Whenever I talk with parents that want to have their newborns photographed, I try and urge that pictures are taken within the first ten days of life.  The babies are usually sleepier and they are easier to curl up.  Although little Alex was 15 days old, he was still a perfect little boy.  His mom did everything right to ensure he would sleep well.  She had the heat turned up to 82 degrees in the house, she kept him awake before I came, and she fed him numerous times to ensure he was “milk drunk”.  All of her efforts paid off and we were able to get some great captures.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had so much fun playing with little 2 week old Aidon today.  He is such a special boy named after both of his great-grandpas.  Even thoug it took a few hours, we finally got him onto a deep sleep and were able to grab some great shots of him.  Enjoy him while he is so little Tim and Nikki.  He will be running before you know it!

Thank you everyone for all of the time you put into your Giving is Awesome entries.  I am deeply humbled and blessed to be able to give my time to help someone going through a rough time in their lives.  I have selected a winner and will be notifying the recipient on Christmas Eve.

With the exception of newborn clients, I will not be doing anymore photo sessions until January 20th. Once that time comes, I will be holding a day of pettiskirt mini-sessions to get ready for Valentines Day.  Stay tuned for more information on that.

I want to take the time to thank all of my awesome clients for a great year and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.  It is my hope that we can all take the time to truly appreciate and celebrate the true “reason for the season.”

I had the pleasure of having sweet little Madison in studio today.  She is six days new and such a delight.  Her older brother sure loves his little sister.  Thanks so much for coming to see me and for letting me play with your little girl for a few hours.  Enjoy your sneek peak!

Doesn’t mom look great?

Thank you B family for allowing me to spend some time with your sweet boy today.  He did great!  After hearing about all of the boys in your family, consider yourselves very blessed to now have one of each.  Enjoy your sneek peak!

Oh Sadie, you were so tiny and oh so sweet!  You are such a little fighter too after your rough start in life.  You are going to need that fighting spirit with your 3 older brothers running around.  Thanks so much for coming and spending a few hours with me.  Enjoy your sneak peek!
