{ Friday Evening Baby Sessions }

Erica and I spent last Friday evening enjoying two newborn sessions for two precious and beautiful little girls.  We were a little nervous having the two sessions scheduled back to back, because we all know that sometime babies have their own schedule and their own time line of the way they think things should be going….and then of course, what we would we do if all our blankets and stuff happened to get “dirty”?!?  But all the stars aligned for us and the little angels behaved beautifully!  We were able to capture some great baby faces – and some darling little poses.  Here’s a few photos from each of the two sessions.

{ Quick Sunday Afternoon Post }

Hey everyone – we hope you all are having a great Labor Day weekend!  We are just finishing some things around the house and trying to get caught-up on a few projects.  We had two great newborn sessions on Friday evening and I can’t wait to showcase a few of them!  For now, this’ll have to hold you over as I am still editing and trying to find a stopping point before our session this evening!  This is a shot of our editing screen, running Photoshop CS4, for some reason the photo has a “reddish” tint to it – but it really is a CUTE photo!  Anyhow – have a great day, and be safe!
