I’m a maternity, newborn, baby, child and high school senior photographer located in Kansas City and this is where I post peeks each week from the latest sessions as well as updates on scheduling, special promotions and more. You’re also invited to check out my full website at www.kamibradyphotography.com. Beneath each post here, after the very last image, is a Comments section where you can leave a comment or question. I love hearing from you!

Now booking 2012 maternity/newborn/child/senior/family sessions:

As I hold out a specific number of newborn sessions each month to ensure I offer everyone my very best time and attention, it’s never too soon to get on the books for 2012. If you’re an expectant mother, schedule your session prior to the baby’s birth to ensure we hold time slots around your baby’s due date for a newborn session within the first 5-10 days of life.

We had beautiful late afternoon light for this gorgeous mama’s maternity session and two weeks later, we had a beautiful baby boy in front of the lens. As a photographer, it really doesn’t get much better than this.

At six weeks old – officially an “older” newborn – I was prepared that we may not get those curly, sleepy shots more easily achieved the first week after birth. On the flip side, I was secretly excited that we would probably get more awake shots and – bonus – real eye contact. Or, as baby boy proved to us in the first image I blogged a few weeks back from his session, more personality.

But much to our delight and amazement, Yash gave us the best of both worlds, sleeping like a champ for little stretches – long enough to style several shots nestled asleep and get some beautiful eye contact.

Hello, gorgeous.

She was a whopping 4.5 pounds at our session having been born four weeks early and it was hard not to keep thinking that she should have been inside mom’s belly instead of outside snoozing away as we molded her into various sleepy newborn poses. I had the good fortune of having my photographer friend, Terra Herring, on hand to assist and I can definitely see why so many newborn photographers shoot in pairs. Having shot gazillions of newborn sessions alone, I can say without a doubt, it’s so much easier when you’re not doing all the posing, soothing and camera wrangling alone. Thank you, Terra!

This sweet little peanut was a rockstar and, so far as newborn portraits go, her session was as smooth as they come. Dad was even training for a natural bodybuilding competition and his hard work in the gym made for a series of shots that I immediately fell in love with.

And, as if right on cue, at the very end of our session, baby girl lit up with a huge smile you don’t typically see with awake newborns at just a week old. I’m going on record as saying she gets my humor and just found me really funny. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, people.

Here are many, many of my favorites from Miss Lydia’s newborn session:

…. but we’re in full bloom here at the studio.

Meet Karsyn, a scrumptious little stocking stuffer who made her appearance just a week before Santa made his. A truly special delivery!

Below are some of my favorites from her session. Once they have a chance to mail out birth announcements, I’ll share those as well.

It’s not too soon to get on the calendar for a session this February through Summer. I only take a set number of newborns per month to ensure my schedule is flexible enough to photograph them during the first 5-10 days after birth. It’s best to schedule your Signature Newborn or Baby’s First Year Package during the second or third trimester to ensure a spot on the calendar.

I have a host of new creative ideas and compositions ready for the next set of newborns as well!

SPECIAL BONUS: If you’ve read this far, are pregnant and considering custom newborn photography, then mention this blog post when you call to schedule your session and receive two complementary, custom-designed accordian wallet books with your reserved (and paid) creative session fee. While the actual session will take place 5-10 days after birth, to take advantage of this special bonus, your session must be booked and creative session fee received no later than midnight Central time, January 14, 2011. Newborn photography sessions make wonderful baby shower gifts as well – ask me about gift certificates or a gift registry.
