J + J are expecting their first child, a son, next month. They came out to my home studio yesterday for a fun afternoon session. I am so glad it warmed up and finally stopped raining, so that we were able to get some shots outside. (Early evening is such a fun time to shoot.)
Make a wish!
Thank you for coming over, G. family. Looking forward to your newborn session!
Little B. had the honor of being the very first newborn in my new home studio! My husband and I moved into a new house in April, and there is a large bonus room with beautiful light. It’s awesome!
For such a new guy, he wasn’t very sleepy. But that is where lots of swaddling, snuggling and snacking comes in handy. I always allow at least two hours for a newborn session, but sometimes they can go longer. Patience is key with newbies!
B.’s big sister Jane came along too. While B. took feeding breaks, she and I talked about doggies. (You may remember J. from her early morning session last fall.) She’s grown so much!
She is such a good big sister …
Thank you for coming out, B. family! I hope you like your sneak peek.
judith fabb: You just keep getting better & better! Precious children.
Aaron: These are really good.
This weekend I flew to Atlanta to photograph my friend’s second son, Henry. He was scheduled to arrive April 16, which would’ve made him only 8 days old at our shoot, but he came a bit early, born April 9. But he was still bendy and sleepy for me, and we managed some good ones.
He is a squoosh and a doll, and I just love him. His big brother calls him “Hen-a-ree,” so now does everyone else.
You have two beautiful sons, McAfees. Henary is perfect.
Brothers. Abe takes his big brother role very seriously …
Monkey bear …
And finally, something I’ve been wanting to try. It’s fun to shoot for friends, because they let you try stuff like this …
Emily Steffen: HOLY CUTENSS! I love the photos in that bear hat....please tell me that you made it! :) :) :)
Angelia Sims: Wow! Beautiful pictures!! Oh they are just precious.
Little O. is six months old!
I love to watch a family grow, from the expectant waiting to the newborn days to the fun of a smiling baby. The S. family is a Seed to Sprout client, which means I’ve gotten to shoot them three times now, and we’ll meet up again this fall to celebrate O’s first birthday.
Then …
And now.
He is so much adorableness! (Also, how much do I love that little rocker? My mom sent it to me from Ohio. So cute!)
The whole family …
Thank you S. for the great early morning session. I’ll see you in October!
Much more to come from gorgeous O’s 6-month session!
This lovely gorgeous space will be my new home studio. Hooray! Looking forward to my first newborn session here in a few weeks.
Stephanie: I am SO jealous!!! This is going to be a fabulous studio! Congrats!
Eller says he hopes you have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (On March 17, everyone is “Irish.” Even an English Bulldog.)
My friend Karla and her husband are the proud new parents of a precious baby girl. (Adorable doesn’t even begin to cover it!)
She was sleepy and posed so well for me. (LOVE this damask blanket that Karla brought. Will have to find myself one!)
Welcome to the world sweet girl!
Sandy Buchman: She is perfect.
judy stendahl: She is adorable. It is always fun to watch them when they are asleep. Have fun being parents. Dave and Judy
Karla: Thanks Johanna! These are all so precious!
Cathy Goetz: These pictures are so precious and will be even more precious as she grows up. It goes so fast!
Rebecca: She is precious!!! What gorgeous pictures!
Sam wasn’t supposed to arrive till March 15, but he had other plans. Born at 36 weeks, 6 days, he’s a sweet little peanut!
He did such a great job, as was the perfect model for my first session of 2010. I’m so glad to be back shooting (and baby snuggling) after my hiatus!
I love this one …
And this one. I love this one a lot …
The whole family, starring “big sister” Bailey …

Are you having a baby girl this spring? I’m looking for a newborn girl (5-7 days old) to come to my home studio the first week of March to try out some new poses and props.
There will be of course no session fee for this session, but you are welcome to purchase any prints and products at my regular rates.
Contact me today at johanna@johannaprice.com if you’re interested!
(Also, I’m taking a little winter hiatus, but am booking now for March and beyond. The spring fills up fast, so if you are pregnant or your little one will be celebrating 6 months or a year this March-June, e-mail me now.)
sarah: Gorgeous! I love how her yellow top pops in the outside photos. And who knew weeds could look so good?!
Emily Steffen: LOVE the dandelion photos! :) So cute!!!
judith fabb: Beautiful color.
