This little guy was wide awake the entire session...and of course, his mom emailed a few days later to tell me that he fell sound asleep about 5 minutes after I left :)

Because mom and dad are Brewers fans, it was only fitting to use the baseball and glove. It will be so sweet the next time dad uses the glove and remembers when his son used to fit inside!

Although this was my first newborn session of 2010, he was born in December, so the honor of Baby Crocodile Smiles 2010 goes to a little girl I just photographed this past weekend...her images to come soon!

{ My Little Nephew! }

Welcome little B! My sister's first baby was born just before Christmas...what a precious gift :) Here are a few pics of him, and of course I had to throw in some pictures of my little J with his new baby cousin! Why can't he be that gentle with his sister? :)

{ Happy 1st Birthday, C }

Here is little tiny Baby C as a newborn...just about 10 days old...

Well look at her now...1 Year Old, and a mind of her own! She was smiley, LOVED the stairs, and gave me her usual array of cute baby expressions :)

C and her family met me at the Musuem of Contemporary Art on State St. Its my new favorite place to take indoor sessions. It has an urban, loft feel, and upstairs is a little lounge with black leather furniture! Not to mention the georgous views of downtown and the wall of windows!!

To schedule your session shoot me an email or give me a call anytime. February & March are booking extremely fast, and of course, prime dates in the summer always go early, so don't delay...its never too early to schedule your session!

{ Exciting News! }

I cannot give away too much yet, but there will be a BIG, HUGE, announcement this week!

Crocodile Smiles Photography will be holding its first ever 'New Faces, New Smiles' Event!!

Trust me, you will want to be a part of this event, so make sure to check the blog this week for more info, or become a member of the Crocodile Smiles Photography Facebook Group to be the first to hear of the exciting news, and all the details!!

{ Little Twinsters }

These precious little girls were so much fun to photograph...and there parents were even more fun! I love watching parents watch their children be photographed. The pride in their eyes and on their face is so beautiful, and that is what I try to capture when I take images of newborns with their parents. Very rarely do I ask a parent to look at me and smile while they are holding their baby...the expression on their face while watching their baby sleep is so much more perfect!



If you are interested in setting up a newborn session, its best to call and schedule when you are about 32 weeks along, that way we can make sure to schedule you within the first 2 weeks of the baby arriving... we want to get images of your baby while they are still in that cute curled up in a ball phase :)
