Giddy Up Cowpoke! {Kansas City Newborn Photographer Susan H. Robichaud}

When I met Baby B.'s parents @ their maternity session, I was VERY excited to learn that they are big horse people...I have always wanted to put a newborn on a saddle, but whats the point of just plunking a baby on a saddle with no background to it.

So Baby B. was just dreamy (as are his parents....*so* in love with each other) and allowed us almost unlimited "playing"....

So we set up the saddle (carefully, with much spotting) and gently placed B. upon it. He started fussing and I was about to say "Ok, never mind", when he gave a big sigh, peed on us and settled into the saddle. :)

Git along lil' doggies!

A Girly Girl {Kansas City Newborn Photographer Susan H. Robichaud}

When Baby R.'s Mommy contacted me in May about her session, she said that she wanted "artsy" and "girly"...since baby girl was their first daughter :) I told her I could handle both!

R. was a dream to photograph (not that I dont love photographing the parents and siblings, I do!)...she slept deeply, liked hats (very important!) and was like putty in my hands!

This session was in June if that tells you how far behind I am with my blogging.....just a reminder that I am very active on Facebook if you want to friend me :)

The Littlest Hero {Kansas City Newborn Photographer}

I cant believe I havent blogged all summer...crazy busy! I have done more newborns than any other age this year....I could fill this blog with a different infant every day for weeks! And Im waiting on 6 more babes within the next several weeks!

This little cutie's Daddy started planning this photography session with my Studio when his wife was only a few week along! Ive been honored to be included in the pregnancy updates, did the maternity session right before I left on my vacation, and was ready to photograph Baby a week after his due date....um, which was Aug 28.

I left on my vacation on July 26, he was born a few days later...whoops, so much for all that planning!

So the one shot *I* had been planning since 8 months ago was this one...I just love Firefighters!!

And PS....this is another one of those shots that looks so simple, but its not...please dont think about plunking a newborn into a wobbly container of any sort....these shots are taken seriously in my studio. All precautions are taken and with 7+ years of experience even I still abandon them when I feel like they arent working....
