The Beauty of Pink Noise

So, I had two photo challenges this week with various photographers – “framed” and then “shallow depth of field.” Since I was limited on time this week, I did one photo that suits both of those themes. Pink Noise! I used to have a noise machine that I used at all my newborn portrait sessions, but I now have an app on my iPhone that I use instead. It’s quite magical actually. It basically makes infants (and sometimes parents) fall into a deep sleep while canceling out other noises (like my camera clicking away). There are other sounds I can choose from with this app and I can even mix and match, but so far, pink noise seems to be a winner. What a great tool to have in my bag!

Frontenac Newborn Photographer | Christmas Baby

This lil’ man belongs to one of my good friends from my video producing days. When I heard that his son arrived on Christmas, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Baby A’s daddy had always been so good to me and it was such an honor to capture his lil’ one this afternoon. When I walked into baby Andy’s room, I saw him laying in his crib and my immediate thought was, “What a cute baby doll!” I literally thought that he was his big sister’s doll. Well, I was right, but it wasn’t a toy baby, but a real one. He’s so adorable and just perfect in every way. J and M couldn’t be luckier parents and I know big sister will be such a good guide to this lil’ man through the journey of life. She’s already lending a helping hand and you can tell that she just adores her baby brother. Enjoy the sneak peek and congrats my friend. I’m so happy for you and your growing family.

St. Louis Infant Photographer | Delicate

Well, it’s now week two of the 52 week challenge that I’m doing with a group of fellow photographers. The theme for today is “delicate” and what’s more fitting than a newborn curled up just like in the womb?! Ahhh…those toes, those fingers, that mouth, that whispy hair….pure love.
