Newborn Nephews Trip...

Preparing for my NY/NJ trip was tricky.

Usually when I pack up for a Newborn shoot, I have my truck.

This time I will have Jimmy small car.

I had to repack all this

and all this stuff into bags.

This is what I fit into Jimmy's little Mazda.

I was so excited to see these little guys.

Mr Nathan

Mr Lincoln

I got to hang out with Mr. Lincoln first. 

Such a sweetheart. 

Auntie Jenn go to snuggle with this little guy in the mornings.

These are a few selfies I caught with my cell.

Can you tell I am a proud Auntie?

Super Star time. 

We set up in the kitchen. 

Lincoln was amazing. 

Took a few breaks.

I loved getting to spend some one on one time with this little dude.

I may or may not have spoiled him and let him sleep right in my arms.

After I got my snuggles in with Lincoln, I headed to NJ to meet Nathan.

Yup all that came out of my little Mazda.

I had to set up and do a mini shoot, since Nana and Poppy were there.

Poppy had to take the drum back with him.

I may or may not have spoiled this little one too.

I took a few night shifts so Gary and Malissa could get a couple extra hours of sleep.

Yup, I might have held him while he slept. Spoiled!

So excited and honored to be Nathan's God Parents!

Kissing piggys

As always it is heartbreaking when I have to leave my nieces and my new nephews. 

Next time I see them they will be so big.

It was amazing to get to spend time with Lincoln and Nathan.

Here's a peek into what happens after a newborn session.

These are before edits and after editing.

The before is on the left.

A lot of Newborn photos are composites. 

Because Newborns safety #1.

Background cloning

Nathan

Some require just a little adjusting.

Smoothing skin and lightening red (newborns usually have red blotches or pimples).

Then I choose a few for enhancements.

Black and White or Sepia or another special edit.

I love Newborn sessions.

I love them even more when they are my Nephews.
