Happy New Year!

Well look at that, it's a new year. A new decade even! I know it's already a few days into the new year, but well lets just say the year has gotten off to a slow start for me. :)

I've seen several other fellow-bloggers post 2009 recaps and/or 2010 goals...and I love the idea. Can't say I've gotten my own together just yet, but maybe I can squeeze that in when 5-on-Friday returns this week. :)

Anyway, for my first post of the new year, I thought it only fitting to show off my brand new niece! You may remember seeing her in my Christmas Recap, but this past week we had our own little photo session at her house. I've never photographed a newborn before, and although it was challenging, I LOVED it, and am really pleased with some of the images I got. I plan to photograph this little darling a TON more in 2010, so get ready for cute overload!

Now, for my favorite shots of the session. You will notice, that new for 2010 I have come up with my own little "logo" of sorts to put on my images. I'm not *yet* so fortunate to have my own photography business, but I still think it's neat to put my own "stamp" on the images I take. Some day hopefully the logo will change to Brooke German Photography.com or something schnazzy like that...but for now just my little way of signing my work. :)

And now on to miss Lexi and all her cuteness!


I just love a yawning baby :)


I really dove into Photoshop for this one, and I actually like how it turned out! It isn't exactly the nekkid bebe shot we were going for, but it's close enough!


More yawns...




Here she is laying in her crib in her darling nursery


And check this out - baby + tutu = too stinkin cute!


I love how she's just peeking over the edge in this one


And this is one of my favorites...it looks like she's saying "What the heck mom?!" hee hee :)


And last but certainly not least, another one of my favorites. I just love her facial expression in this one - among a ton of photos where she was *less than happy*, comes this gem where she has just the cutest little grin on her face :)


Well, that's it for the first installment of Lexi cuteness, don't worry, there will be plenty more to come in the future! After all, what else is an aunt for than to spoil and photograph her niece to no end!! :D

Happy New Year!
