Louis of Louisville [2 months] | Louisville, KY Child Photographer

It's been crazy busy lately (which is awesome, no complaints here) especially when I get to hang out with the sweetest little family.  Louis is a stud and his parents are pretty darn cute as well.  He was born a chunky and those rolls are the studliest little man muscles that I've ever seen.

 

Nothing sweeter than those sweet baby arm rolls, expect maybe his new-baby smell and this photo of mom soaking up his sweet baby snuggles.

XOXO,

Mich 

P.S. Yearning to make that sweet babe stop growing, or just make sure you can relive these moments in a couple years when he is walking, talking and throwing sweet little tantrums?  Lifestyle family photos are the perfect way to document the sweet moments to last a lifetime and more. I would love to visit your home on a weekend for some Saturday morning cartoon laughing and pancake making fun. Contact me at the link at the very tip top of this page for more details.

Working for Those Smiles | Southern IN Child Photographer

Sometimes smiles come effortlessly, for kids, adults, even elderly people. The funny stuff can usually crack a smile. What about 90 degree heat, a half done nap, and some stranger with a funny thing strapped to her face?

That was our first date, we met in the parking lot just as Mr. Colton woke up and the date started a little rocky. I actually don't mind when people don't smile. As long as I get to see those eyes, that's all I need for a great photo.

 Mom and Dad did a great job playing and chasing entertaining Colton. Which was no small feat in the super sticky heat (poetic right?). But we got some sweet genuine smiles and a lot of "Blue Steel" looks too.

This, dear friends, is why I love lifestyle sessions so much. We can play and run around and get amazing REAL photos. And of course Colton had to laugh when Dad put on all that big blue stuff ;) 

Hang in there buddy, luckily we have some other great teams in town.

XOXO,

Mich

Not a Cake Fan | Louisville, KY Child Photographer

Sometimes things don't go how we thought they would. Sometimes that means a joyous surprise, and sometimes that means a bit of a disappointment. But, sometimes its neither and it just leaves you going hmmm.

Well this little man's momma loves cake. She expected Jack to dive right in and never look back. 

Instead, Jack did this.

And that was that, no real cake eating went down.  Maybe mom and dad got some after all.

But he is the blondest little one that I've seen in a long while. And those baby blues!

Look at this sweet family grow.

Same basket - Same Baby. 1 Year Older

Just look how much he has grown!

So we just played with the sprinkles instead. Here's being ONE and having your cake, even if you don't want to eat it too.

XOXO,

Mich

P.S. If you know a little boy or girl that is growing like this little man, don't wait to get photos made. They will never be that little again and we all need more photos to remember the fun times! Contact me to schedule your milestone, newborn, 1st Birthday, Family, or Lifestyle Session.

Navy Stripes + FOMO [7 days new] | Louisville, KY Newborn Photographer

FO·MO

ˈfōmō/

noun

informal

noun: FOMO

1. "fear of missing out". The fear that if you miss a party or event you will miss out on something great

   Even though he was exhausted, John's fomo got the best of him and he went to the party.

30 seconds between these 2 photos. Impressive

This little guy fought the good fight. He had some serious FOMO, didn't want to fall asleep for anything and turned into a professional snacker (and napping while snacking). But that's all part of the fun and it makes for some super cute and natural snuggle time. 

Sweet moms and dads-to-be, don't get discouraged with a fussy newborn during their first photoshoot. They are not used to being messed with so much. All they know is sleep and eat, so modeling experience takes a little time - and extra snacks - its hard work! 

But once we finally get a solid pass out (see first image above, 30 SECONDS) we get some really great sleepy stuff because they are so out. Like warm milk and a little hot toddy. For parents of course, don't feed that stuff to the baby... honey is bad for them :)

These sweet parents have an adorable little man in their hands and he has that amazing little newborn smell, so needless to say they are doing a really great job.

But seriously, this sweet family was amazing to work with and extremely patient with all of my many angles. What an amazing Swaddle Baby Plan session, little man was a champ and we even got a few with big brother Rocky (he's the furry one peeking over the crib rail, above).
