Wittle tiny man from Friday. He is an early bird as he wasn’t due to hatch for 4 more weeks!

I am bone tired from a weekend of trying to heal our wounded doggie. She had surgery two weeks ago, developed a very bad complication, was on the verge of us having to put her down on Friday evening , but now seems to be a bit on the mend. Fingers crossed!!! I will try to post photos of her and the kids very soon. First the cute baby….I get to spend tomorrow with another wittle early bird too…YAY!

This one cracked me up! This is why I LOVE spending time with the wee ones….they all have their own little personalities….each one different, each one beautiful…..

A few more of baby ella and her awesome family. I have been dying to do an image of a daddy with a tattoo and his baby. This daddy has a rockin’ tattoo and loves his little baby girl to pieces I have to give a HUGE shout out to my AWESOME dad’s who have bravely bared their chests for me to photograph them with their wee loves. There is honestly nothing that melts any mama’s heart more than seeing her man loving their baby.

And just for fun, I will let everyone in on my super top secret photo editing music collection…..

Today’s (LOUD) selections were:

Girlfriend in a Coma — Smiths
Shoplifters of the World — Smiths (I know, both these songs are kinda weird to edit baby images to, eh? LOL!)

Talkin’ about a Revolution — Tracy Chapman
Shimmer — Fuel
Strangelove — Depeche Mode
Shake the Disease — Depeche Mode (saw them live at the Forum in LA circa 1985 or ‘86, I can’t remember!)
Where the Streets Have no Name — U2
Bad — U2 (Saw live in 1988….my bff Heather and I got Bono butt view….don’t know why they played in the round)
Gin and Juice — Snoop Dog (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Don’t tell anyone…..it’s a mood piece……lol!)
Love My Way — Psychadelic Furs
Solsbury Hill — Peter Gabriel
You Should be Dancing — Bee Gee’s
Falls on Me — Fuel
Glycerine — Bush (Who I actually got to see live at Woodstock ‘99)
Superman — REM
Living for the City — Stevie Wonder
Mountains O’ Things — Tracy Chapman
Superstition — Stevie Wonder

…and it’s official….my kids think I am either totally nuts or high…..

And her awesome daddy! Who allowed me to post this Soooo excited about that because there is so much I just LOVE about this image. Kate and her family travelled all the way from Rockford, Illinois to spend the morning with me.

She loved having her arms like this. Just chillin’ (does saying that make me sound like I graduated in 1990?)

And I just had to do this image in color. Yummy up close macro with creamy dreamy baby skin!

He is such a chub a bub that he even has his own nose brow!!!! Yum-o! My second 9 lb’er this week

The funny thing was that he was IN LOVE with this position. He was awake until I put him like this…..then he rapidly drifted off to sleep!

The way he posed himself in this shot is sooooo flippin’ adorable!

Peace and love ♥ anya

At first he was not very interested in having his clothes removed for nakey baby pictures. In fact, I was actually afraid to remove his clothes starting off. For fear that our sleep time would be over…. Fortunately he got all nice and cozy and warm. And let me have my way! For some reason the babies this week have not wanted any tummy poses. Usually I will have one or two who just say NO to tummy poses. But all of them? I think it was a bit of a baby conspiracy.



I just love the look of this shot….the mix between his sweet little baby clothes and his adorable little newborn face.

I will have to admit that I was quite enthralled with his delicate baby features.

Another beautiful baby girl! Ella is having a mini-sneak peek because she will have more images added to my blog later on this week when we add some daddy and mommy shots to the mix. The weather had been NUTS this last week, hasn’t it? It is supposed to be spring. Just say yes to babies and NO to snow!!!!!

and another play with my angel lace wrap which I LOVE and is so soft and beautiful with baby skin!

Isn’t she adorable? All 9 plus pounds of her! What a beautiful healthy little baby girl!!! By the time the weekend is through I will have added 3 more gorgeous babes to this blog… There must have been something in the water at the end of March.

It is going to be one crazy newborn fiesta this week as I have 3 (yes, 3!) more newbies to photograph this week and one that I think is still in mama’s belly waiting to arrive

This big sister could not WAIT to be photographed with her little baby sister. To top it off, she showed me some acrobatics on my beanbag that I am hoping (cross my fingers) my Annika and Rowan never figure out. Otherwise we will probably spend a lot more time than we already do at the “Doctor Store”….as Annika refers to the Emergency Room. LOL!

Snug as a bug in a rug!







Daddy’s little girl….







A little mommy love….

Peace and Love ♥ Anya

Meet beautiful 2 + week old Dylan. He was such a charmer! And that HAIR! Oh my goodness, isn’t it just sniffable???

And I had to post this one. There is nothing like a good cute doggie image to make me smile.

I am a poet and didn’t know it!!!!

If I sound a bit wacky today it is because I am seriously high on paint fumes from the hubs painting the living room. I am lucky that he actually agreed to do it because *usually* he tries to turn me down. For the simple reason that I have the habit of changing my mind. After he paints. One time he had to do two walls with three different colors before I got it right. What can I say? I am a perfectionist at the visual.

Ok, back to Mia. She wins the award this year for most poop and pee in one photo session. YAY!!!! Fortunately it was all on mom and dad…none on me Triple YAY!

Here she is smiling away…..knowing that pretty soon daddy will be dripping in pee

All cuddled up with mommy….







And because I know mommy will appreciate this….she appears to be saying….”seriously dad, WTF”??? For those less acronym inclined, I won’t translate that as this is a PG rated blog……
