Expecting Baby {Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Maternity & Neweborn Photographer}

Michigan weather makes photography a bit challenging sometimes. We had challenges with finding a day to do this session and then the day we finally get schedule there is a 50/50 chance of thunderstorms. Well, I have learned that unless it is down pouring out to take the chance and I am SO glad we did. It ended up being a beautiful night with a beautiful couple that is expecting their first little miracle. It actually started to rain just as I was leaving the session, so I think it was meant to be. I promised I would get a few previews up for them before leaving for California tomorrow….

So here we go…

2 more days…{Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Maternity, Newborn, Family, Children, & High School Senior Photographer}

Well, the count down continues…2 more days and I will be on a plane to sunny San Diego, CA. YIKES!!!

Once I am on the plane I will be fine, but it is the anticipation prior to that is sending the butterflies in  my stomach spinning.

I have had a record number of sessions within a short period of time because of the amount of time I will be gone. I had to make sure to squeeze in maternity sessions along with a couple senior sessions and a family session. I have another maternity tonight and then a high school senior tomorrow…then away I go.

So here is a brief view of some of the sessions from this past week…

This first session is with a high school senior. She is the cutest thing and SO SMART and down to earth. I kept thinking, “I want my daughter to be like her when she is a teenager!” Here’s hoping ;)

This one is a bit more dramatic then I normally do, but I totally love it!

Okay, for this next session there is sweet 1 yr old, Mr. “B” and his family. He has the biggest smiles and they lasted the WHOLE session! What a dream to photographer, and such a good looking family to go with the smiles.

I am such a sucker for sweet mommy cuddles…

Last, but not least, is a family that I photographed 2 years ago. They are now expecting an addition to their beautiful family and I can not wait to meet her! I feel truly blessed to get to photograph this family through this new life change.

Mom and her 3 girls:

These two sisters were so adorable and I couldn’t help but continue to photograph them when mom when to change. The sister bond is something that is a truly amazing thing!

This last photo is one of my favorites from the session. I love everything about it from mom’s perfect belly to the beautiful blue colors, to the connection between mom and baby.

I am hoping to get previews up for my next two sessions before I leave on Wednesday morning, but it may just be too much. If I don’t get those up look for wedding photos from my brother’s wedding and maybe a few beach and Sea World photos soon. :D

Maternity Portraits {Photography by Sabreena - Lansing, Michigan; Newborn & Maternity Photographer}

It warms my heart so much when old friends call for a special photo session. Tasha and Mike are expecting little Noah any day now and I can not wait to meet him! I have so many favorites from their maternity session…

The difference of 1 Year {Photography by Sabreena - Novi, Michigan Child & Family Photographer}

It is so amazing the changes that 1 year can bring. I know I have said it before…and I will probably say it again :D I ♥ working with the families that I do and seeing their children grow up a little each year; although, the first year is probably the most dramatic.

Here is little “L” wearing the same tutu and diaper cover she did for her newborn session.

Beautiful Newborn Baby Girl {Photography by Sabreena; Detroit Michigan Newborn Photographer}

I love this big girl of 10lbs! She has the cutest cheeks and most beautiful lips. And it is easy to see where she gets her beauty from…

Baby Boy “L” {Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Newborn Photographer}

This sweet boy did not want to miss a minute of his first photo session by sleeping it away; But who was I to complain when he was such a great baby!! I have some amazing photos with him awake…and a few sleeping shot, but the family photos are the ones that really spoke to me from this session.

I couldn’t help but edit these two right away. I just loved the way they turned out!

Baby Wyatt {Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Newborn Photographer}

This big guy got to see me twice…The first day we attempted the session and there ended up being horrible thunderstorms and it was black as night, which doesn’t make natural light photography very easy ;)

The second session was perfect! Beautiful day, perfectly behaved boy (except for peeing all over mom, oops). :D

Baby Girl Charlie {Photography by Sabreena - Michigan Newborn Photographer}

I want to start by giving a “Thank you” to all those that prayed for baby Lola and to let you know that she is home safe and sound and doing wonderful!

Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

I also want to introduce another new baby girl - Charlie. Before I show any photographs however, I need to say that I have no biases toward Michigan or Michigan State. In fact I have ties to both schools and have photographed babies in both school colors ;)
