  I’m a bit embarassed to admit that the Christmas tree only came down this past weekend…but my excuse honestly has nothing to do with laziness.  I have been wanting to get the yearly cliche Christmas tree photos with my boys and something always got in the way…typically it was just me being forgetful but […]

    how do you do it Sar? So cute and I too didn’t take my xmas tree down until mid-January so no judgement from me!

    What a beautiful photo!

The premise of this tradition is that Santa has sent one of his trusted little elves to stay in your home with you throughout the holiday season and then report back to Santa when your children are naughty and when they are nice.  We named our elf “Dobby” (yes, from Harry Potter) but my boys […]

  • Kim Chow - December 15, 2012 - 10:13 am

    I found you post from Pinterest. Really really great ideas (and pictures).

  • Alex Bhurma - December 25, 2012 - 10:22 pm

    I only recently discovered the whole elf on the shelf craze but these are by far the best images I’ve seen. Great job, i hope your kids enjoyed it.

    Hi Sara! I just had to comment on your Elf photos! We had an Elf on a Shelf this year too, but we weren’t near as creative as you! We wanted the girls to name our elf “Dobby” as well, but they insisted on naming him Sam. : ) You’ve inspired me for next Christmas time! xo

Just finished up the edits on these newborn shots while I’ve been off for a few days over the holidays.  Isn’t he gorgeous?  Like I mentioned in my last post (his sneak peek), he was 5 weeks old for this session, but because he was also 5 weeks early, I think it really helped in […]

    these are extremely adorable Sara. I can’t believe you didn’t tell anyone you were doing this – what are you thinking? I love all your pictures.

  • Genni Bowder - January 5, 2012 - 10:44 am

    these are very sweet photographs. how much do you charge?

  • Sara - January 5, 2012 - 11:29 am

    I love these and will be contacting you soon for a session bc I’m due in July. I’m so happy to have found you. My friend forwarded me your blog link.

    These are really sweet. I really love that first one. He looks like an angel.

  • Michelle Thompson - January 7, 2012 - 10:01 am

    Hi Sara, I found you from a pin someone did on pinterest. I love these newborn photos. Do you use a beanbag chair for these? I read that you only use natural light, so do you ever use an external flash or reflectors?

  • Jen Spacer - January 8, 2012 - 2:58 pm

    like seriously Sara, these are the most adorable newborn photos I’ve seen. Do you mind if I ask where you got that fur from?

  • Heather - January 9, 2012 - 10:03 am

    these are really cute and so unique Sara. Great job!

  • Sara - January 9, 2012 - 10:23 am

    Hi Jen,
    I purchased the fur online from fabricdepot.com (this one is called Silver Frost)

  • Laura Morita-Yeun - January 9, 2012 - 1:29 pm

    What a gorgeous baby! Love his expression in that last one.

  • CharmedOne - January 12, 2012 - 1:54 am

    I haven’t had time yet to go through all your blog posts yet so I will be back..but can I just say you are the most amazing photographer I know? You excel at children’s portraits & really truly are the best at this. These newborn pictures are SO friggin’ sweet!

I had to post a quick sneak peek from my newborn session this morning considering it’s Christmas Eve and I have this adorable shot to share.  I got this idea from Pinterest…a website I’m completely and utterly addicted to. Meet Xavier.  Five weeks old, five weeks early.   Thankfully he was fairly cooperative despite being what […]
