Well here is my new lil BFF :-)  If you remember the way cool sassy mama maternity session, well this is the result of what was growing inside her lil belly!!!!!!!  Just a few days later after the maternity session…..Mr. Coop joined the Adams/Burton clan & let me just say he was blessed to enter the most amazing family!!!!!!!  He is going to be loved & cuddled & played with to his little hearts content! 

This time of life for a newborn goes by SOO SOO fast.  This cute little cuddly stage, the smell of a newborn, the peach fuzz all over…those sweet little lips & cheeks…their tiny little button noses & wrinkly little hands & feet.  It is here & gone in a blink of an eye!!!!!!!  I wish I had done these kind of pictures when my boys were babies!!!!  I really miss this stage sooo much!  I LOVE babies & if they didn’t have to grow up I’d have a thousand babies….hahahahahaha!!!!….LOL!!!!

Well pregnant mama’s out there….Mother’s Day is Sunday so if your hubby is wondering what to get you…tell them you want a newborn session for your new little bundle of joy….to preserve the moments of their newness, to treasure & savor forever!!!

NOTE:::::I only will do newborn pictures of babies that are 14 days & younger!!!  If you are pregnant & want newborn pics you need to contact & let me know your due date & then I schedule you right away when the baby is born!  I will give you all the details when you contact me of how my newborn sessions go. 

This is a shot with mama on her maternity session & then baby at his session….

Then we all know how it is with a newborn….ESPECIALLY for a first time daddy who is working hard to support his new little family & going to school!  SLEEP…that is pretty much non-existant for awhile.  THUS…during the newborn session…daddy slept for 2 hours while we played with baby…..hahahaha!  This totally cracked me up…. Hey..when you’re tired…you’re tired!  We woke him up at the last to do some family shots.

Look at all his little peach fuzz…awww…soo sweet!

He was SUCH a good sleeper!  Once we got him to sleep he was OUT like a light!!!

The most trickiest thing on a newborn session is getting them to sleep!  BUT once they’re asleep in that DEEP DEEP sleep….they are OUT.  Look at how squishy his little lips are!  He was a snoozin!!!!!

Well folks my busy time is ahead of me.  WAHOO!!!  LOVE IT.  There is lots goin on this spring/summer & I couldn’t be more pleased. 

Though my poor blog won’t be getting as much attention.  I have a ton of sessions to edit & so once I get them up…I’ll post a few of the pics on my blog when time allows.

I just wanted to jump on here really quick to say HI to all my friends & family out there.  Don’t go away….stick around cause you definitely want to stay tuned to see such amazingly awesome clients I have!!!!

This week my VERY AWESOME & MOST WONDERFUL BFF from Arkansas, Misty, my photographer buddy, will be flying in Thursday to 2nd shoot for me at a wedding on Friday at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  I can’t WAIT for her to get here so we can have some friendship time :-)  PLUS I just may put her to work helping me out in the office ;-) 

For now….here is a little preview of my fantastic client.  I shot their wedding 2 years ago & now they just had their first baby boy.  We did their maternity pics & a few days later…Mr. COOPER (I will be calling him COOP) joined their gorgeous little family.  I LOVE LOVE this family to PIECES!  YES I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I was taking some pics of the baby I told Courtney…hey we did a maternity shot like this…LOL!!!  I was excited to see the ‘before’ & ‘after’ shot :-)

ca

Be back soon!!!!!

10 Day Old Newborn…….

April 16, 2009

He blessed the Milligan family with his presence on March 18th.  What a cutie he is. 

I enjoy photographing newborns.  They are so pure & so precious.  Plus it gives me my little fix of holding & cuddling a newborn without having to have my own :-)

If you want a newborn session please note that I ONLY do newborn sessions that are 12 days & younger.  Preferably as soon as they are born :-)  This is the best time to photograph them while they are still fresh & brand new.  They sleep lots better & are still bendable in those sweet curling up positions!!!  If you are pregnant & interested in capturing your brand new baby as a newborn before they change in a blink of an eye call me asap & tell me your due date & we’ll get you on the books.  Newborns are just PURE & SWEET!!!!!

This was at the end of the session & poor baby was sick of pictures…haha!

Ashley: So precious! I love them all...I wish Ryker was still this small, they do get big too fast. I especially like the third from the bottom- he looks like he's deep in thought :)

jennifer: awww so precious and so tiny

jessica mccollam: aww so sweet, Alisha!!! You captured the details of this precious new one so well.

amanda: oh so sweet! i love it! you always do such an AMAZING job with newborns!

Stephanie T: I love the pouty one :) These are AWESOME!

Jacque Lynn: Alisha, Your work is just gorgeous :) Loving it! Cant wait to meet you.

I had the pleasure of spending some time with a favorite couple of mine.  They are repeat clients from last year & THIS year…look what they have now :-)  A  new little bundle of sweetness!  She is soo cute & sweet.  See momma & dadda…I told you patience will pay off..haha!!!  She was 6 days old & not very sleepy, but that was ok cause we got to talk alot & catch up!!!!!!

If you are thinking of having newborn images taken the BEST time is 2 weeks or younger.  If you would like more information about a newborn session give me a jingle!!!!!

 

This blanket…her most sweetest father made this for her.  I thought that was just the most precious thing ever.  He was sooo excited to be a father.  He wanted her to have something made special from his heart!!!!!

Let me know what you think…………………

 

FUN. REAL. LIFESTYLE.

 

Until next time…………………

Adri: Very pretty. Great job, as always! love you!!!

Kori: Alisha, these are so beautiful! Can't wait to see the rest of them! Thanks for a great session and for capturing our sweetheart so beautifully. We should have done her photos this past week - we can't get the girl to wake up now! :)

Kellee Smith: Oh what a precious little baby. I so love them!

Jana Kunz: These are beautiful! She is sooo tiny. :)

This little baby girl is soooo sweet & cute!!!  She was the BEST baby ever.  Usually at 6 weeks is NOT the ideal time to get newborn pics done.  They move too much, go cross eyed, get baby acne, DO NOT sleep…all sorts of reasons why NOT to get them done at 6 weeks, BUT this little gorgeous bundle….SHE was the best 6 weeker I’ve ever seen.  She would smile at me….she didn’t even move her arms & legs mauk one….therefore there were no BLUR movement of tiny hands & feet cause that’s what they do….move a ton…..she even SLEPT…she was just perfect!!!!  YIP…this baby was a dream!!!!!!!!! 

I LOVED her hair..it was all curly…she had such big beautiful blue eyes. 

Thank you for having me at your house to capture the fleating moments of your new little bundle.  These moments pass by ALL TOO FAST!!!!!  Enjoy the little moments….I miss those little moments!!!!!

Here are just a couple for ya mom & dad….I will have more up soon :-) 

So if you’re pregnant & want these precious memories of their tiny little noses, tiny little fingers, tiny little toes & just the simple tinyness of your new little bundle call WHILE YOU’RE PREGNANT to book the session.  There is a reason I’m an ON-LOCATION photographer :-)  I come to YOU!!!!  2 weeks or less is the BEST time to photograph your little bundle of joy!!!!!  Don’t let these moments pass you by!!!!!!

 

Let me know what you think :-)
 

Until next time…………………..

elizabeth: Ohh these are delightful... great job

Jennifer: awww these are so beautiful, I lvoe that second one!

Amanda: She is so stinkin cute! Oh my goodness!

Kellee Smith: I want to be able to bend like that. Adorable! Such big eyes my dear...
