I love every opportunity I get to photograph anything. But when I photograph people, it rejuvenates me and makes me love my job even more. On top of that, when I get the opportunity to photograph a newborn, I am left in awe. Photographing a newborn always leaves me with a sense of hope. Hope for what that child will accomplish with their lives, hope for the people who will be touched by the innocence of that child, and hope that this world will be a brighter and happier place because of this child.

I recently had the joy of photographing Levi. He is such a sweet child and cooperated with me in every image I wanted to create. Some people are frustrated or put off by a crying baby, but I just roll with it. When a baby cries, especially a newborn, they are just trying to tell us they don’t know what is going on. They just want to be reassured and comforted. So what do I do when I’m working with a crying newborn, I work the tears into the photography session. This is part of the growing process and to me can create some of the most beautiful and touching images.

Enjoy the photographs of little Levi.
