Toby : newborn | iowa city, ia newborn & children photographer

I had told myself that I was "done shooting for the year", and wouldn't accept anymore sessions in December. :P

then I got a call from Jess--she wasn't able to get out much after having Toby [a Thanksgiving day baby!]

and a friend had made some super cute hats/props to use in newborn pictures, and she wanted to get him photographed in them before he grew out of them!

So I couldn't say no to her. :)

I'm not really a newborn photographer, but I really had fun doing these!

We shot everything at their house--which had gorgeous window light, and played with a couple different backgrounds and the props she had in mind.

I knew newborn shoots can take several hours, and Mr. Toby didn't sleep the whole time,

 but we managed to get some great shots all within 2 hours!

enjoy my favorites of this little cutie...and once you're done with these,

you can look back at Jess' maternity pictures [if you haven't seen them yet!]

taken about a week before he was born!

once there was a Turtle named Toby...

love,
