Happy Sunday everyone! Hey, I’ve got an interesting tidbit for you, at least it was news to me. Of course most of us realize the South end of Lee County is growing at an amazing rate. This is really not all that surprising to me considering I live here myself and know first hand what an awesome location this is to live in! Seriously, less than 10 minutes from THREE major malls, fine dining, entertainment, speedy access to I-75…ahh…I simply LOVE Estero. Oh goodness, I think I got sidetracked – HA! The interesting new fact I had for you is that the beautiful Miromar Lakes community has actually become it’s own CITY right smack dab in the middle of Estero and Fort Myers. It’s now officially called Miromar Lakes, Florida. That’s kinda neat isn’t it? Surprisingly this was my first visit to the community city and I’d have to say, with their grand fountains, amazing golf course, 5 star restaurant and yep, even their own private beach I think it’s safe to say they’ve earned the right to be called their own city.

Okay, now that I’ve done my civic duty and informed you all of the hot new place to be, let’s get back to the gorgeous little guy being featured today shall we? What a cute little peanut!! It was just about two weeks ago that I met Colton and his proud Mommy & Daddy. He was a mere seven days old when I photographed him but oh so alert. Once I went through my standard ‘newborn whispering’ routine (as Kelly so aptly calls it) he settled right in and was game for just about anything. Take a peek for yourself, isn’t he just precious?! I’m always envious of these babies with a full head of hair considering my three were as bald as could be until they were well past their first year.

Because I’ve had zero time to post sneak peeks this week…and because she’s just too cute to keep to myself…I’ve got another featured session for you all. Click the “Play” button below to watch beautiful 3 day old Kana Jaclyn’s newborn session.

Remember…

If you’re expecting a new baby the best time to schedule your newborn session is BEFORE she arrives. That’s what Kana’s Mommy did!

What could possibly be cuter than one squishy newborn baby?? Why TWO newborn babies of course! I really do love photographing multiples. Sure, it can be a little more time consuming than your average newborn session but that really just means you get twice the cuteness when all is said and done.

Meet 5 day old Palmer and Parker of Naples. These little guys were completely adorable and such good little models for me. Not only did they let me capture some seriously sweet portraits of them snuggled up together, they actually took turns waking up so I could capture a few solo portraits for Mom too.

I really enjoy having the opportunity to break out my macro lens to capture all their little parts. At only five days old these two were still very brand new complete with peeling fingers and toes that were still trying to adjust to life outside of the womb. We all know how quickly these little ones grow, especially during that first year. I’m so glad I was there to capture those little details, now Mom and Dad will be able to look back and remember those wrinkly little fingers and toes long after the boys head off to college.

Alright, I hear you giggling at me. I get it. Yeah, right now college does seem like it’s light years away but it really does sneak up on you faster than you might think. Trust me on this one, my oldest turned 18 just last week! I swear if I close my eyes and concentrate I can still hear his little boy laugh and the thump-thump-thump of him running through the house playing hide and seek. >sigh<

My point; Cherish the details. Absorb every inch of your children and revel in the mundane. As time passes you start to realize it’s those little, often overlooked, details in life that you miss the most.

Last one, so snuggly cute and so in tune with each other. :::awww::: Okay, back to work for me!
