Baby Ava :: a newborn portrait

I was contacted by little Ava's grandma weeks before she was even born. She wanted a special and uniquely artistic gift to give to the parents-to-be. We were able to schedule the newborn session only 3 weeks after her birth.

I love photographing babies between 2 and 3 weeks of age. They are the perfect size to do many beautiful and artistic shots. This little girl just broke my heart with her beautiful lips.


Ava's father is in the Army and they thought it would be a nice touch to include his dog tags and jacket. The look on the baby's face is the cutest most expressive face I've seen!


Here are some of my favorites...
What a tiny heart breaker!

Portrait sessions are limited. If you would like to schedule a newborn, family or senior portrait session please email the studio at info[at]ardentphoto[dot]com for more information and availability.

Baby Georgia - Neenah Baby and Child Photography

My best friend Joey (Jocelyn) came up for a very special portrait session earlier this month. Her little baby just turned one and it was time for some awesome photos.

You might remember me doing her newborn session in their Milwaukee home last year. I designed custom baby announcements that were printed on linen paper...

Well little Georgia Grace has changed quite a bit. Here are some favs from the session. Enjoy!

This is a girl who loves shoes... and it was one of her very first words. I'm sure she makes mommy proud!

Cute dress Georgia wore for her first birthday - her daddy bought it while he was in China

We finished off the session with a trip to the library - one-year-old 's love books!

Congratulations Joey and Josh on a beautiful little girl!
