This little beauty rounded out my weekend of newborns and I was so glad she did. Isn’t she so sweet?! I got to do lots with her and although she protested a teeny bit, I won (I usually do. . .I have lots of patience). And really how perfect is the one image with the brown and turquoise - just like my logo. . .hmmm maybe we have a new face for SH Portraits! So glad to have met her family and had fun conversation while capturing these very special moments. I can’t wait to share your entire gallery with you soon! ~ Samara

Lets just call this weekend “newborn-pallooza” and this guy is #2. . .oh how cute he is! Check out the cheeks on him and that perfect little nose. Oh my, I have the best job getting to hang out with these sweet little ones. I’ll take a “newborn-pallooza” any weekend! Thank you so much Mom and Dad for having me over today, Grandma too! Your little man is just pure sweetness!

This little girl is just simply perfect. I think she has the most beautiful petite and lady like facial features, I could have photographed her all day long. Just love her. I have had a real run on newborn boys lately, so it was nice to “mix” it up a bit too. Thanks again Mom for sharing your little girl with me, I look forward to sharing her entire gallery with you soon!

This little guy was brighted eyed until the last moments of our session. Good thing though - check out his amazing blue eyes! It was so nice to catch up with this family again, and see how much his big brother had grown since his newborn session! Thanks again - I’ll be in touch with your gallery soon!

Love love love that I was able to get this family in this weekend because Mom is due like now! The new addition to this family is going to have so much love poured on it, its so awesome. I mean really - check out the a-dorable older siblings it will have and the equally gorgeous Mom. I just had to show off some of Mom with each of her other loves before the baby arrives. You are super cool too Dad - but you’ll have to wait to see those images. Thanks again guys and I can’t wait to meet your new little one soon!!

If you like to have friends over your house, custom photography and free gifts - host a portrait party in your home. Space is very limited allowing only 1 portrait party per month. As a hostess you would receive a complimentary session fee and a free gift from me too. All you need to do is gather up at least 5 friends and their children for the portrait party. Each family would have the chance to do a 20 minute session with me and my portable studio in your home and would receive 5-10 proofs to choose from. Just keep in mind these would not be for family portraits, but instead focused only on children. There are a variety of packages for each family to choose as well, suiting everyone’ needs! If this sounds like fun to you, give me a call or email soon! 716-504-7635 or samara@shportraits.com
