Baby Grayson ~ 4 months ~ Stockton Baby Photographer

Growth sessions are something I added to Rockabye Photography just in the last six months or so and I just cannot explain how much I am so glad I did! Not only do I get to see some of my newborns come back over and over but I get to experience new little baby clients and watch them grow, too! Each age has shown what a wonderful and sweet little personality is in each of these little babes. Sweet little Grayson came to see me with his mama and grandma and despite the freezing weather, he put up with all my crazy dances and letting me get him naked for a few booty shots :) His mama brought the BEST knit hat (if you know me at all, you know my knitting obsession) that I just had to put him in for a few shots, too! We sure tried our hardest to get a smile out of him and every once in a while, he'd tease us with a little smirk. Check out this beautiful little boy!

Sweet Abigail ~ 6 months ~

This sweet girl came to me for a mini-session to mark her first 6 months of life! She wasn’t too thrilled about having a photo session but you’d never know it! We still managed to have some fun playing around and getting some sweet shots! I can’t wait to see her soon for her 9 month photos!

This wonderful couple and I go way back and getting to capture their pregnancy with their first sweet baby was SUCH an honor. I seriously love, and I mean LOVE, my job but getting to work with my friends could be one of my most favorite things yet! 

Sit back and scroll through the shots of this gorgeous couple as they awaited the arrival of their beautiful baby girl. 

Ruby G. ~ Lifestyle Newborn Session

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve worked on this blog! I am so behind! Maybe I’ll post some past babies and sessions but for now, we are forging ahead! 

First up, Baby Ruby. This was such a fun session for me as Ruby’s parents had asked for a lifestyle session in their home instead of the standard studio session. I LOVE when clients want to change it up! Lifestyle sessions, although less popular among most clients, are one of my favorites. I feel like there’s something extra special that gets put into these images when you capture them in their home ~ the place they brought their baby home from the hospital. You also may notice a music theme running through these images which was another favorite of mine to add to this session. Ruby’s daddy is a drummer so of course we had to play around with his awesome snare drum. Her grandpa passed away a few years ago and left hundreds of old albums to her daddy. These albums were a big highlight of our session as dad had meticulously picked out each album to place in the images. 

Here are just some highlights from our home session. I hope you love this session as much as I did: it was a good one!
