As you can see… every single one of our little Canadian models were an absolute dream to photograph! We photographed 14 gorgeous little ones and I’d say our workshop was an absolute hit. Our attendees traveled all the way from the States, Australia, Scotland and Hong Kong! They were an absolutely great group of girls and both Carrie and I enjoyed every minute of the workshops! Huge thanks to Daniela Berkhout for hosting the Ontario workshops. (see her gorgeous work here: http://www.danielaberkhoutphotography.com/blog/)She was an immense help and on top of that she was just down right fabulous! We can’t thank you enough, Daniela!!! I also want to thank Veronika Goisova, an amazingly talented newborn hat and accessory maker, for offering her home to Carrie and I for the last two days of our trip. (see her work here! https://www.facebook.com/VeronikaGPhotography) She organized two sweet little boys for us to photograph amongst Canada’s gorgeous scenery. What a treat… she even made us a hat an hour before our shoot- can you believe that? (pictured in the last 2 set ups!). So Ill end this by mentioning the fact that we have a few openings still available for our last workshop of the year on October 6th-7th + 9th-10th. This workshop will take place in Fallbrook at our brand new studio! Please contact our Studio Manager Jen at contact@babyasart.com for more details!

*PLEASE NOTE: THE SWING SHOT WAS A COMPOSITE COMBINING TWO IMAGES. BABY WAS SPOTTED AT ALL TIMES*

This little one was full of the sweetest little smirks. We haven’t had many baby girls in the studio in over last couple of months, so getting a chance to photograph her was a very sweet treat. Don’t get me wrong- I love photographing lil boys, but girls are so much fun to accessorize!!! We got to try out a few of our new hats and headbands on her and she couldn’t look an cuter!!! Loved that last shot of her snuggled in her Grandfather’s arms. She seemed to like it quite a bit too. Such a sweet little smile!

Little Jett is so lucky to have been born into such a rad family! His Daddy, Ronnie Renner,  is a Red Bull athlete and a world record holder for the highest jump out of a quarter pipe on a dirt bike… see him setting the record here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAOxC8KQU8E (pretty cool if you ask me!!). He is constantly on the go traveling around the world riding his dirt bike… I have a feeling Mr. Jett has many exciting adventures in his future! Jett joins his big sister Chloe who is super sweet and absolutely gorgeous. I just had to add a few of her in, too! Thanks so much Ronnie and Michelle for having me photograph your new little guy.  You guys have such a beautiful family!

Last month we had the best group of students and babies at our newborn photography workshop! We had a total of 13 babies in a span of four days and we had so much fun posing and styling all of our set ups. The weather even blessed us with an afternoon of warmth, so that we could venture outside with one of our farthest traveling models. I believe his little family traveled about four hours to get to our studio. I’m so glad we had him… he was a perfect little guy! We honestly couldn’t have asked for better babies. I believe we only have one or two spots left available in our 2 day workshop in Ontario, Canada. So, if you are interested in booking please contact us very soon! For more information on our newborn baby photography posing and styling workshop please visit our information page here: http://babyasart.com/blog/2011-workshops/ or contact our studio manager Jen at contact@babyasart.com. We are very excited about our big trip to Canada in July! I’m hoping the weather will hold out for some outdoor shots, too!

*Please note that all images taken outside were prepped and posed inside to minimize exposure to the baby. The shots were taken quickly and the baby was outside for only a couple of minutes. Proper precautions were taken to keep the baby warm at all times. It is advised that you not attempt the outdoor set-ups you see here as they were styled and photographed by a highly trained professional.

I had the most amazing opportunity to photograph a beautiful little boy born in Iowa earlier this month. Friend, past workshop attendee, and extremely talented photographer Shannon Dodd had me out to photograph their third little boy. We had an amazing time together. What a beautiful little family they have! Jefferson was an absolute dream baby and slept soundly as we did set up after set up with him. Thank you Shannon and family for being so great! I had an amazing little trip to Iowa

Australia was absolutely beautiful and I totally envy all the photographers who live along this gorgeous coast line! Our little models and new mommies were also quite stunning as well. Combined they made for some amazing set ups! Thanks again to all that participated in making the outdoor shoots possible! In other news… I released the 2012 workshop schedule- TODAY!
