I love making New Year’s resolutions!  There’s something about starting fresh on January 1st that makes me feel excited about the upcoming year and all its possibilities.  Let’s face it… I’ve failed miserably at blogging this past year.  By looking at my blog, you’d never know that I did so many fun sessions and weddings in 2011!  I shared quite a bit on my Susanne Ashby Photography Facebook page, and left the blog sorely neglected.  Well, it’s time to start fresh!  Here’s to more pictures in the New Year!

First up are a few more from little T.’s session.  I adore his sweet family and was happy to travel over to Sacramento for his newborn pictures!   Here are my favorites… 





Baby T. {Monterey Newborn Photographer}

Posted on December 2, 2011

I photographed baby T.’s big brother last year (20 months ago, to be exact!) and I was thrilled to hear that my clients were expecting another boy.  You know how I ADORE photographing newborns, so I made a special little trip over to Sacramento this week for T.’s newborn session.  Isn’t he so darling?!  Here’s just a tiny sneak peek… more to come later!





Last time I saw baby R., he was a tiny newborn (and oh-so-cute).  Now he’s an adorable one year old, and so much fun!  I had a blast hanging out with his little family this week.  Here’s a little sneak peek from their session… C. and R., it was so fun to see you again!!





Remember this adorable newborn from last year?  I can hardly believe he is already ONE!  I was so excited that his family traveled all the way out to Monterey for a session!  We headed down to my favorite spot in Carmel and had a great time.  Here’s just a little sneak peek for now… 





It’s official – I have the BEST job on the planet!  It was like a dream come true to have the opportunity to photograph newborn twins – a boy & a girl!  Aren’t they just as sweet as can be?!  Scroll down to see my favorites…





This is why I LOVE being a newborn photographer!  I have the chance to meet and photograph gorgeous brand new babies almost every week!  Here’s just a little sneak peek of baby Riley.  She was sooooo sweet!  I’ll post more favorites from her session once the birth announcements are sent out.  :)





I traveled over to the bay area for little S.’s session and it was TOTALLY worth the two hour drive to get to photograph this little beauty!  When her mommy brought out a knit bonnet that her own grandmother had made for her when she was a baby… I flipped!  It was so adorable!  And I LOVE it when clients request to use sentimental items in their session.  Here are a bunch of favorites… 





Remember little miss A. from last August?  I LOVED how her newborn pictures turned out and now she’s already six months old!  I can hardly believe it!  So I was super excited when her mommy mentioned getting some six month pictures along with pictures of her three other adorable kiddos!  We went to one of my favorite fields for the session (which happens to have long grass with pretty white flowers at the moment – loved it!).  Here are a few favorites…
