(Nope, not my sister’s twins!). But gorgeous, nonetheless! Meet a set of (at the time) 6 day old boys, Cade and Chase. It was a warm day, so we were able to open their nursery’s french doors to let in more glorious light. Besides the occasional ocean breeze, they enjoyed the beautiful day! © carrie sandoval | newport beach

I am super excited about these “sessions”. As I have said before, I just love sketching ideas for newborns before a session. More often than not, the ideas go un-attempted because my little subjects (and the parents!) are spent after a full session involving blanket, backdrop, grouping and setting changes. My ideas may or may not (I don’t know because I haven’t tried them yet!) be more time consuming and risky (as in waking baby and starting all over, not as in putting them in danger!). So, the artist in me *really* wants to put these ideas in motion so I’ve decided to call out for willing subjects!
These casting call sessions will:
• Be free of charge (however, prints may be purchased at regular rates).
• Be goaled towards capturing a single image / pose (but if time and patience permits, additional poses and images may be attempted).
• Require a model release (most likely the image will be published).
• Be held at either Carrie’s studio or outdoor location of Carrie’s preference.
The current casting calls are for:
• Dark skinned newborns.
• Newborn triplets, either one week of age or within one week of age of coming home from the nicu (preferably with minimal time spent in the nicu).
ETA: I would like to thank all of you for the interest and kind words. And I am happy to have inspired other photographers to do similar casting calls as I am sure you have your own ideas. Just remember, use your own words! We couldn’t possibly have the same ideas

I can’t believe my niece and nephew are already over two weeks old! And I was really hoping to have an “introduction” post by now, but I am so sad to report that our little Ian is still in the nicu. He was all set to come home last Sunday, but then a hole was discovered in his intestine (necrotizing enterocolitis). He is doing great and we are hoping he can come home in the next two weeks. In the meantime, I am having a blast with my little Libby girl. I hope I don’t wear her out by the time her brother joins her in the modeling! © carrie sandoval | baby

This session was done exactly one week before the recent Chino Hills earthquake. The earth shook good down here in San Diego, so I can’t imagine what things were like in Diamond Bar (where Annaliese and her family live), just 3 miles from the epicenter! Hey A, perhaps if anything fell off the walls, I can take care of replacements, hehe! © carrie sandoval | baby

Sometimes pure and simple just does it for me. Actually, pure and simple *always* does it for me! Meet little Claire. She’s 5 weeks old. © carrie sandoval | bab

Huh? Today is my sister and brother-in-laws 7th wedding anniversary. And now, it is also the birth date of their twin babies! What a way to ring in the seven year itch, right? I would say that I have anxiously awaited this day for 7.5 months now… but it more like *years*. Elizabeth “Libby” Kay (4lbs 13oz) and Ian Blaise (5lbs1oz) were born at 9:31 and 9:32 this morning. Libby is doing fabulous, as is Ian… but is being watched closely in the NICU since his lungs weren’t quite as ready. I wish I could announce them with a picture, but since I haven’t yet met Ian face to face (or face to lens?), I will instead showcase “the calm before the storm”… aka… my sister and her fabulous belly! The first image was taken just 15 hours before the birth (now, don’t go blaming me!). I must thank my sister for being such a trooper and letting me try my crazy ideas out on her.

(ETA: These are not my sisters babies! I should have put that in the post originally. I know… we are all “expecting”! I am hoping my niece and nephew are born on 08-08-08 )
These baby girls were such good models. Little Ava and Emily, just 7 days old. I may have to add some more later… love them! © carrie sandoval | baby

in the past week or so and I have not replied, can you please resend? The logic board in my computer took a dive and I was thankfully able to back everything up (most importantly PICTURES!) and emails, but for some reason, I am not finding any “unread” emails in the back up folder. I know I had quite a few drafts as well. I am so sorry for the inconvenience!

This shot totally fell into place. I didn’t plan on this shot, but it worked out perfectly. I love Daddy’s wedding ring, the sweet grasp of Daddy’s pinky finger and her sweet little squished up lips! Meet baby doll, Cameron. © carrie sandoval | newborn
