Little Khollen is our second newborn of 2010 woohoooo!  He sure did give us a run for the money too!  There's somethng about a newborn that is 10 days or younger, they are almost always still in the eat/fall right to sleep mode.  But something happens after 10 days and they can eat and eat and stay wide awake--that's exactly what Khollen did.  The conditions were all perfect---he was full and the house was like Valdosta in July.  Plenty warm!!  He just didn't want to miss any action. 

He lasted through big sister and Dad watching Shrek, the family having a McDonald's snack and the first snow falling.  But I told him I could outlast him...and usually I'm fairly confident about that, but it was getting so close to the end that I was starting to worry.  But right when the session was almost over, he passed right out and I got some shots that I know Mom and Dad will feel are worth the efforts!

Here is what Khollen looked like for about three hours straight...

Now the money shots! :)

His hair was perfect and I couldn't help but SPIKE it!

Our very last session of 2009 was perfect...a sweet little newborn nugget! :) John David was born three weeks early and STILL weighed eight lbs nine oz and was twenty-one inches long!! His Mom and I joked that in three more weeks he would have been born as a toddler! :)

He's definitely a BIG boy and so sweet and cute. He barely fussed at me at all during his session and that was only to remind every now and then that I was blocking the warm air coming from the heater I had pointing his way to keep him toasty and sleepy. :) All those cute poses and things he's doing with his arms in these photos---those were his ideas---he's a natural and he certainly liked it better when they were his ideas! :)

Look at that belly...and that was before sucking down a bottle!



This cute pup was one of the first presents given to him.



Mom and Dad are serious Gator fans--so I had fun with the blue and orange!

ROCK OUT DUDE!

PEACE homey and word to ya motha!

Traveled up to Atlanta a few days ago to meet and take some pictures of sweet baby girl Bethany. Mom and Dad are friends of ours and this is their very first baby, so it's all very exciting! Because the sex of the baby was going to be a surprise and a fun play off of Mom and Dad's last name, Bethany's nickname while baking in Mom's belly, was "The Brownie." So, we HAD to take this first picture in honor of her cute nickname.

It was a fun afternoon of snuggling, diaper changings and warm newborn goodness....more people need to have more babies, I just can't get enough!

The Brownie known as Bethany!



Cutest thing!!











Serious Cuteness Overload

Got a chance to meet and take some pictures of sweet baby Avery yesterday...such a cutie! She was so soft and smelled so so good! :) Sweet boy Alex was a great little assistant and all he asked was that I let him take some of his own pictures after setting up the shot...we called him the "lazy photographer" because each picture he "took" he had to sit on his little stool to do it! :)

Avery will be the most photographed baby girl ever, I'm sure...Mom is a photographer and has about a thousand photographer friends! I know she'll be in many photo shoots, but here's my take!
