Smith and Hudson

3-1/2 Weeks Old

When I got the call from Gina that she wanted me to photograph her newborn, I was thrilled to do so. I knew that it would be a fun session with a beautiful little baby! Smith was just a doll. While she was a normal 3 week old who didn’t want to hang out naked, she was super mellow and let me snatch a couple of quick birthday suit shots. The rest of the time, Smith just wanted to be snug as a bug and swaddled. Now, let’s get to the name … Gina’s maiden name is Smith and so she and Rob decided to keep the name in the family. I think it’s just about one of the cutest names ever and if I was having another girl, I would seriously think about becoming a name stealer and use it :-) I LOVE THAT NAME!

When I arrived at their house, I was immediately greeted by their real first “daughter” Hudson. She’s a beautiful pint-sized terrier who had tons of personality. She was already competing with Smith for my attention and I must say it was hilarious!

Gina and Rob have a beautiful house down in Newport Beach, that was the perfect place for a little session with Smith. I took advantage of the white elegance that their house is lavished in. I think I could do a whole other blog post just on the decor of their house! Here are a few of my favorites and when you are done, check out this slideshow for more …
