luck O’ the irish {nw arkansas newborn photography}

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.

Check out this little gal…. Olivia is a an Irish blessing, born on St. Patty’s Day! This little girl will grow up tired of green I am sure but how fun to be born on such a fun day. Maybe I am biased because I am Irish, who knows. I do know that this little one is adorable with a head of hair that is amazingly adorable. Her parents drove 45 minutes from Missouri and I hope the drive was worth it! Enjoy your sneak peek Wood family. It was wonderful getting to know you all and getting to spend time will your little O!

they will call him “trey” {nw arkansas newborn photography}

Meet Roy Anthony Madrid III otherwise known as “Trey”. Check out his great head of hair and wonderfully bronzed skin. (I get jealous of babies with darker skin than mine)

I met with Trey’s mom for the first time back in December. She had a vision for exactly what kind of newborn portraits she was wanting of her little bean growing inside her. She knew she wanted a shot of little Trey in the football helmet of Daddy’s favorite NFL team (safe to say Dad is a sports freak), she wanted a sock monkey hat and some shots of her little guy hanging in a sling from a branch (images to follow shortly). I hope I have met expectation as well as provided them with a little twist of my own on some images. I will be honest when a mom really knows what she wants I get nervous. I am a wing it kind of gal. I get to know the little one I am photographing and kind of let them determine the session and images that come from it. Little Trey was a sport going into the helmet. Poor guy, it did not look comfy but he slept through it all. I will be honest Trey gave me a little run… I think he may be a prankster. He would fall into a deep sleep (or what I thought was one) and then right when I thought I had him posed to perfection, he would startle, or jerk, or just stretch out. That is a little boy for you… a prankster. Well, Madrid family, enjoy your sneak peek and Amanda I hope I delivered. It was wonderful meeting tiny Trey. He is perfection!
