Maternity.....new backdrops.

Here is a recent maternity session. The beautiful mom-to-be has seen all of her pictures already, but I wanted to show some recent work on my blog as well as two of my new backdrops.

I have a new white backdrop that I will probably be using for my baby planners, it is soft and drappy (is that a word?) Maybe I will get good at putting it up soon, It took Bret and I quite some time to get it to look how we wanted. I think it is pretty though. The second is a beige drop, it is lighter in color than the one that I have had for several years now and it might just be my new favorite. The last three are just some fav's.

What I have been up to....

Turning our church santuary into a retail store.... LOL!


But I am back now and finishing up my last two sessions, so I will be blogging more about them shortly. The consignment sale was a huge task and it was a success! Thanks for everyone's patience!

Little Levi kicks off my Marathon March

Last night has kicked off a very busy time for Kristin Aune Photography and for just me. He was the first of 4 sessions this weekend, then my consignment sale starts on Sunday, the rest of March and April is proving to be just as busy with sessions, a trip to Texas(Kyndal Flying for the first time), and my first Baby Fair. So here goes, I had fun taking pictures of Levi and some of the whole family including older brother Lincoln.

Mom wanted more than anything a sleeping picture of Levi swaddled in a blanket on my antique chair. I didn't think we would get it since he was wide awake the whole time, but here it is. We actually got him to sleep on the chair, quite a task!

I love this one though, a baby yawn, I LOVE LOVE LOVE capturing baby yawns.

Here are a few more.

Wide eyed Levi

and a Baby Smile, also a rare capture.

Baby oh Baby... Girls, Girls, Girls

Check out these pics from the the three sessions over the weekend, all baby girls. Where are all of the boys? Well I have a newborn baby boy session scheduled for next week, but I still get more baby girls than boys. So you baby boy Mommy and Daddy's, bring them on.

The first is Miss Emma She is 3 weeks old in these pictures. We got a few sleeping pictures, her Mommy asked me to bring the wooden chair that was used in Jackson's photos. She also requested the scale that I have.





Here is Stephanie and Michael, they are expected a baby girl in about 4 weeks. Aren't they cute? Michael is holding the baby booties in the first shot. We got some sweet (Grandma ready) shots, as well as some more artisic shots.



Here is Miss Madeline, she is 9 days old in theses photos. She was a pro, and a good sleeper. We were able to get the curled up newborns shots that her Mommy so desired. It worked out great because we were able to do her photos before she was even two weeks old. It is very important that they be less than 3 weeks old to get curled up sleeping photos, and even so I can't promise them, although I work as hard as I can to get them.
This shot was a real bonus for me. I got a few of her curled up on just Daddy's hands, and this one on both Mommy and Daddy's hand.
