Triple The Fun :: Meet The Triplets! :: Milwaukee Baby Photographer

Mandie Haberman — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:15:26 +0000

I will be the first to admit that I don’t consider myself an expert baby photographer. I have had wonderful experiences so far photographing some adorable little ones, and I hope to continue working with teeny tiny clients! This weekend I had the opportunity to meet three very special girls. The miracle of life is amazing in and of itself, and when a couple is blessed with not just one little miracle, but three, it is truly a beautiful thing to witness!

To start off, here’s the promised color version of yesterday’s sneak peek. Pink Chucks! I LOVE them!

The shoes above were chosen because of their appearance in Mommy & Daddy’s previous portrait shoot, but the shot below features a whole family of Chucks:

We started off with a quick little all-family shot. What a happy family of five!

Then we moved onto some individual portraits of the girls. Get ready for some serious cuteness, and gorgeous blue eyes! Three pairs!

After their close-ups, we moved on to some cute and girly shots! Mariah, my sister and fab artist, put some adorable tutu’s together this past summer. Such adorable little ballerina babies:

All together, these adorable little ones are unmistakable sisters!

I just can’t wait to get more opportunities to photograph these sisters as they grow up. I can’t even fathom how beautiful they’ll all be with those blue eyes!

To the B family: Thank you so very much for inviting me into your home to meet these precious little sisters. I had a wonderful time getting to know them and I look forward to more photo shoots in the future!

A Quick Peek :: Triplets! :: Milwaukee Baby Photographer

In the midst of a hectic weekend, I wanted to share a very brief teaser from today’s shoot. I’ve been looking forward to this shoot for MONTHS! I had the privilege of photographing three of the most adorable little girls I’ve ever seen…triplet sisters! They are beautiful girls with gorgeous blue eyes, but you’ll have to wait another 24 hours or so to see them. In the true essence of a “teaser,” here’s one of my favorite shots from today:

Even babies can have shoe shots! Aren’t these the CUTEST little baby tennies you have ever seen? Tomorrow I’ll show them in color, but today’s version is a throwback to honor the inspirational shot from Mommy & Daddy’s portrait session:

Meet My Neighbor :: Baby L is Six Months Old! :: Madison WI Baby Photographer

I can’t believe it’s been almost an entire year since my hubby & I bought our home and moved into our wonderful neighborhood. When you live in apartment buildings or rental homes, you really don’t get the full experience of creating relationships with your neighbors like you do when you finally own your own set of walls. Some of the first neighbors we met were our “nexties,” the folks one door over. The couple we share a property line with are just awesome. She’s the kind of woman who looks out for me in the conversations where everyone is talking about their children and I’m the only childless gal in the group, and I love her for it! She’s a riot.

When I was running my holiday specials on the blog, I was thrilled to sell a fun portrait session to my neighbors- and to get my first chance to really get to know the little boy who will grow up running around the yard while I chat up his mom on summer afternoons. Little L is truly one of the most adorable six month olds I’ve known…not that I’ve known many of them intimately, but man is he a cutie! Scroll down and see for yourself!

When I arrived, I found the cutie-patootie comfy and super-smiley in his fun little bouncer.

Since he was already comfy in just the diaper, I figured we wouldn’t rush into the costume changes just yet. When I bought this fun and furry fabric with babies in mind, I didn’t realize I had made such a tasty choice…

Look at that hair! It was just too adorable to tame:

I loved my neighbor’s decorating scheme. It’s a perfect blend of neutral overtones with bold color pops! We took full advantage of both color and neutral, starting with neutral.

I adore this glowy light!

We did eventually have to put some outfits on. Enter the color!

Little L’s six month old discovery has been how yummy his feet are. Here he is considering a go for the toes…

We moved upstairs and into a very colorful room, where we discovered that the fluffy fabrics not only taste good…but they shed like crazy. I apologize to L’s mom for the vacuuming she had to do after our session, he he he! But this image was worth it if you ask me…

We had to use this adorable little gingham shirt. Couldn’t give it up! Unfortunately, L was losing interest in the camera fast…but he managed to stay adorable!

See what I mean about colorful pops?

I’m convinced that L is going to be a major scholar when he’s older. This shot proves it…

He just looks so much older than his six short months!

Every baby book needs one shot that will provide mom & dad with truly useful fodder for blackmail during the teenage years. It ain’t no bear rug, but I’m pretty sure this little shot will serve its purpose well when L’s older…

Before they ventured into the world of teensy baby parenthood with L, our neighbors started with a giant dog. Maisy is the sweetest and the largest dog I’ve ever known. It’s hilarious to watch my tiny ankle-biter dogs, who are more L’s size, run around Maisy’s ankles. So of course I was interested in how this giant dog would react to her new little brother. In all honesty, it’s amazing…this moment said it all and I LOVE this image!

To my fab neighbors and little L…thank you so much for letting me be a part of this six-month milestone! I am so excited to see this little guy grow up and I look forward to taking many more photos of him in the future.
