Noah actually wasn't due until next week, but he arrived 3 weeks early.....and weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz!!  He was in the NICU for a week, but came home on Friday and is doing great. I was a little afraid that he may not fit in the little cocoon wraps and other props I have....but he lost a little weight after birth (like all newborns do) and fit in everything just fine. Perfect in fact.......   

During feeding/changing breaks, I hung out with their cat "Friday"........

She cracked me up because she totally stood up and looked out the window like a person........

Back to Mr. Handsome........

I've missed my vintage/antique feel photos, so I decided to try some again.......

It's no secret that I LOVE photographing babies that are between 6-12 months old.  Sometime around this age, they are sitting up on their own, smile at pretty much anything, don't have stranger anxiety just yet, are still chubby wubby and in general are just happy and adorable!!

Well here's a little guy who proves why I love this age so much!

Nikko is high up on the "cutest babies ever" chart. I looooove him. 

"Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?"......

With daddy and mommy.......

Grandma and grandpa came along for the shoot as well! They absolutely ADORE Nikko and i'm not sure what I love more about this pic.....the fact that he looks so content and in awe of their kisses......or his chubby little Fred Flintstone feet and toes are all squeezed together :) 

Oh and last but not least, I couldn't leave out their super cute dog Chibi!  

I was contacted by Luca's mommy back in November. She wanted to book a maternity session, but unfortunately I was completely booked up. Luckily she still booked her newborn shoot with me....and i'm SO glad she did. Luca is one of the most perfect newborns I have met. He slept pretty much the entire session, only cried once (and that was because of a diaper change....not because of me!), smiled quite a few times (gas or not, it was adorable!) and was just too, too cute.  Oh and he's got the most awesome hair. I swear to you he has frosted tips!  Last but not least...he's half chinese and half caucasian....like me. No wonder I wanted to take him home! ;)

2 of their kitties decided that they should join in on the shoot.........

So content in his daddy's arms........

.........and pure putty on his gorgeous mama.......

I'm still getting last minute entries, so it's not too late to enter! In the past 2 days alone i've gotten about 20 more entries!   I can't wait to see who wins, and I can't wait to book a session date with him/her! :) 

So this is the last call!  You've got until midnight tonight (Friday)!! - http://www.lot116.com/blog.php?id=383

Thank you to those who have entered. Good luck everyone!!!

The winner will be announced on MONDAY (2/23) morning, so be sure to check back and see who won! :) 

Also, shoots start up again tomorrow, so there will be plenty of sneak peeks coming back as well. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!
