Deann B. Photography: Newborn Session: Baby Brinn

So, I know it's been pretty quiet here in my corner of the Internet, but not without good reason. I've been so busy... and it's all been photography related. Isn't that the best kind of excuse? A week ago, I started off my weekend with a newborn shoot, went up to LA for a visit with friends and to get some headshots for a new website venture, Monday found me in Solvang at a workshop hosted by the Incredible Jose Villa, Tuesday was senior pictures with Kristin and Wednesday was a chance to help out my community and work with a local church. Whew!! Since then I've had my nose stuck to my computer monitor, proofing all of the sessions and having a blast... wishing this was my day-job instead of my part-time. {Sigh} The waiting game isn't much fun, but in the meantime, I'm so lucky to still be able to do what I love!

So, we'll start at the beginning... A little over a week ago I went over to my neighbor's house to photograph their beautiful, tiny little girl, Brinn Ashlee. Brinn's parents met, fell in love, and have spent the last few years traveling, living life to the fullest and creating a beautiful home for their family, which up until now included the two of them and their cute pups, Brooklyn and Capone. It seemed they had it all, until they decided something was missing and soon little Brinn was on her way. It wasn't easy - Mom had a tough time and Brinn was born 3 weeks early. But it was oh-so-worth it as she was the delight of her parents from the moment she was born - tiny, but perfect in every way.
