Six Days New | Mishawaka Newborn Photographer | Traci Shupert Photography

This sweet little guy is one week old as of today. We had a fun time hanging out in his jungle nursery - Lions, and tigers and bear, oh my! It is really truly amazing to think that only one week ago, he was in his mommy's belly. Never experiencing pregnancy and birth myself, I can only imagine how incredible and indescribable it is. Many blessings as your little man continues to grow! (Click here to see his parent's maternity session.)

Look at all that hair! I didn't have that much hair until I was 2 years old. She is one lucky little girl (in more ways than just her hair)! She's the first little one these proud parents have had, and they are just so happy that she's here. They were kind enough to let me try out some of my goodies, and sweet baby D was the perfect model. Congratulations!

Patience | Middlebury Newborn Photographer | Traci Shupert Photography

Patience definitely pays off. Mom and I worked with Little Miss A for quite awhile to get her into a nice, deep sleep. She was a major trooper throughout the afternoon as she experienced many costume changes. This sweet baby's mom and I go way back - we're talking all the way back to high school. So, it was fun to catch up as we waited for her little girl to enter the world of dreams. Her oldest child was a super helper too! She did everything from running to get the pacifier to holding the blanket so I could get the shot. Thanks for a fun afternoon! :)

Early Arrival | Middelbury Newborn Photographer

This little guy decided to follow after his big {but little} brother, and arrive about 5 weeks early. Mom and Dad wanted to wait until he got a little bigger to expose him to the nasty germs of the outside world {No doubt - I don't want to be exposed to them either!} This family has to keep changing their email address because of their expanding family of the cutest children ever. My husband and I do not have any children of our own {yet}, but I just don't think we can compete with all of the cuteness I get to photograph. So, I think we'll just continue to admire everyone else's children. Thanks for a great afternoon {M} Family!

Newest & Nothing | Goshen Family Photographer

My friends and family have experienced a baby boom in the last couple of months. Last Saturday, I got to spend some time with my cousin's family and their 11 day old son. When I walked into their home, their nearly 3 year old said, "Traci, I'm in here!" He really is the cutest little guy ever (as you saw). In the picture of just him that I posted, he gave that look after he asked, "What are you doing?"
I responded, "Nothing."
And of course he's smart enough to know that I wasn't doing just nothing. :)

9 Days New | Noblesville Newborn Photographer

This is the newest member of my {husband's} family. We got to spend part of our weekend with him and his family. My sister-in-law and I had a good time taking pictures, feeding, taking pictures, feeding...Maybe I'm just a bit biased, but his cuteness is immeasurable. I'm looking forward to seeing this little guy get big enough to play soccer or baseball or basketball or {insert name of sport} with his big brother.

4+1 new baby = Family of 5 | goshen newborn & family photographer

Just before I headed out for my 4th of July weekend, I was invited over to document the newest member of this family. He is calm, cool, and collect. After a little negotiation, we convinced his older brother to join us for a family portrait. I always enjoy spending time with this family. I had the privilege of taking some maternity pictures with the oldest two kiddos and mom before the baby's arrival. Here's the link to that post. Thanks family!

Welcome Little One | goshen newborn photographer

I've been fortunate to have great friends and family that have the cutest kids for me to take pictures of! This new little guy is the first child of some great friends of my husband and I. He wasn't really into getting his picture taken at first, but he was eventually loosened up (a full belly helps with that). I'm so excited to see this little guy grow!

Baby D and Family | goshen newborn & family photographer]

My cousins recently had a baby boy, and they opened their home to me for my first infant shoot. Baby D wasn't too pleased with being the focus of the camera so early in his life, but we managed to get some precious shots. Thanks for the opportunity!
