{Newborn Photography} Matteo

I cannot begin to tell you how busy Dave and I have been lately… phew! We just got back from shooting an out-of-this-world wedding in India (pics to come!), tons of wicked eshoots, photographed a couple of amazing weddings and all before we strike a pose in Paris in a few days with Jerry Ghionis!! Now that things are back to normal again I’ve had time to get back into the newborn studio and get snapping!

Little baby Matteo was the first baby I had scheduled in once I came back from all of the traveling and photography. Boy was I thrilled when I saw this sweet little guy at my door

When baby Matteo’s parents saw the blog post of baby Caris, my last newborn shoot, they loved it and wanted something similar when their little one was born. When they contacted me for the shoot I was so stoked and booked in the session regardless of our schedule .  It’s so rewarding knowing that these meaningful photos will stay close to his parents hearts for years to come, and may one day become a family heirloom.

Lihn, Matteo’s mommy loved the first shot on the blog of Caris’ daddy holding her in his arms. I wanted to create something similar that they could enjoy for their nursery! Look at those little feetsies…. awwww so cute!

I think I mentioned before that I bought like a million little baby hats, beanies, wraps and blankies… Before the shoot I just received a new shipment of little baby hats from this amazingly talented lady in Perth, Australia. Her stuff is so funky and cool, like nothing I’ve ever seen as far as newborn hats go. I love the fuzzy hat at the top, I bought three of them lol, and of course this little bunny rabbit hat, so sweet .

Awww, I love macro photos of the little details – nose, toes and little baby fingers. What a cutie and perfect little newborn Matteo was to photograph. Thanks for being the best little model for me!
