Teacher's Baby - Wesley Chapel- Newborn Photographer

Well, this is my first official post as Kristine Freed Photography.  Until I have my new website/blog up and running, I will continue to post on Brinker-Freed.  I hope you will come & follow me as I embark on this adventure on my own!

C&E's teacher had her baby!  Welcome to the world, baby 'E'!  My E is just tickled because his teacher's baby has the same name as him! :)  Baby 'E' came early, while we were away on our ski trip, but I got to meet him & take his pics when he was 15 days old!  Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Simmons!  He is just precious, and of course I think he has one of the best names in the world! :)

LOVE little baby parts! :)

A full day of FUN

We held our 2nd day of mini sessions, along with a few full sessions all in one day, which made for a long FUN day with some of our favorite people!

First up was the L family. We'd say E stands for Easy, but that's only half true- big 'E' has always been & still is so easy to take pics of- he's looking at you smiling every time you turn around, broken ankle and all!  Little 'E' on the other hand, is just the opposite.  We got MANY dirty looks from her!  She DOES NOT like her picture taken!  And 'I' is somewhere right in the middle.  We made it through with many pretzels and cheese sticks! :)

Next up was the oh so adorable 'A' and her pretty mommy, 'J'.  We had not seen them since last holiday season and could not believe how big 'A' had gotten!  She's still just as cute and still has her beautiful curls!

Next was one of our favs... spunky little 'D'.  We've taken her pics since she was 3 months old!  She always has the most fashionable little clothes, the biggest blue eyes and the cutest little grin.  (We LOVE her mommy & daddy, too!) :)

hugs for daddy & kisses for mommy...

love how we caught her mid air on this one! :)

Then we had another family whom we haven't seen since last holiday season- the 'Ls'.  'N&F' came with new transformer cars they got on the way.  Mom & dad told them they were going to the park to play (perfect for little ones who don't like to have their pics taken) so we played many games... hide the transformers, singing songs, knock knock jokes... we had so much fun- they had us cracking up!

Last, but certainly not least, was the 'T' family. We've known 'L' since 'A&E' were itty bitty babies.  They're not so itty bitty anymore!  They started a little shy with the pics, but once we got them giggling, there was no turning back! :)

A BIG THANKS to all of you for coming out... it's wonderful seeing familiar faces come back & always nice seeing new ones!  Hope everyone enjoys their sneak peek! :)

Holiday Minis Take 1

We held our first Holiday Mini Sessions this past weekend in Hyde Park.  We were so lucky to see some familiar faces... just bigger than the last time we've seen them!

First up were 'J&R'.  They were newborns when we saw them last.  Now they are 9 months old, crawling, sitting and standing!  They were so serious for the majority of the time, but we did get a few smiles out of them.

Then we had the pleasure of taking Holiday photos for the W family again- including the family dog this time!  He was such a good doggie and 'J&J' were just as easy.  Took some tickling to get some real smiles, but they were such good little listeners! :)

Enjoy your previews, guys!  Thanks for coming out- so good to see you all again!

Pretty New Face in Town

3 months ago I did maternity pics for my brother and sil. I didn't share any back then, but here are a few from that session:

'J' giving kisses to her baby sister in mommy's belly

And here is the new addition to the family, little baby 'A'!

Everyone thought we were crazy, I'm sure, but we were SO excited when we got this shot... we've been trying for this one forever! :)

another new one

We've known 'P' for some time now from our twins group- her twin boys are just a few months younger than our twins. Well 'P' and her hubby 'J' just recently had another litttle munchkin. He was a little older than our 'normal' newborns and he DID NOT want to go to sleep. He was really fighting it. Many of the pics from the beginning of the sesssion were of little 'D' wide awake and/or crying. He was really content once we got him on his belly on mom's arm:

After many pics, a couple of bottles and some pee on mom & dad :),

'D' finally gave in and fell sleep!

You can tell big brothers 'J&E' are so in love with their new little brother.

'D' is so lucky to have not one, but 2 big brothers to grow up with!

and because 'J&E' are about to turn 5, we took a few of just the 2 of them.

We hope you have a very Happy 5th Birthday boys! :)

Big and Strong

'A' is only 3 months old, but he is so big and such a strong boy! He wasn't so sure about us at first and just kept looking like 'what in the world is that thing pointing at me', but mom & dad stayed nearby to help get his attention. Dad had the magic touch- he would just touch 'A' on the cheek and a big smile would appear! :)

Time for Two

Newborn sessions already take a lot longer than regular sessions, but then add in another baby- trying to get TWO babies full, happy and hopefully sleeping... could take all day, right? Well, not all day, but patience must be in place! :) 'Z&G' took a little bit of time, but when they're this cute, you just don't mind spending the time with them!

They started out wide awake like this:

Then 'Z' decided to fall asleep:

While taking pics of his brother, 'G' decided he could use some sleep too:

And eventually, they both decided it was ok to sleep at the same time.

THIS is why the patience pays off!

Congrats on your absolutely handsome little men, 'L'. It was a pleasure to meet you and them!
