Meet Newborn Kempe | Ventura, California Weding & Portrait Photographer | Donya J Photography

Ladies and gentlemen, Blog readers, Baby photo lovers, today I have the distinct honor of introducing you to baby Kempe, who was officially 15 days new in this shot!


I think we can all agree: his adorable sweetness should earn him a spot on the cover of every baby magazine in the nation! Seriously, I'm practically melting from cuteness overload!

Anyway, as you can see from the pictures below, Kempe and I had one of the best sessions together. His mom, Andrea was exemplary in getting the shoot ready for us. Her preparation allowed us to have an especially awesome shoot together.

I would love to say that Kempe slept most of the way through the session, but he only did at the end for the last few shots. And when he wasn't sleeping, Kempe was happy and eagerly awaiting his next feeding. He couldn’t have been any better.

Without further adieu, Mr. Kemp!

Fun Photo Facts for Photography |Ventura, California Weding & Portrait Photographer | Donya J Photography



  • 1 GB of memory last most people a month but barely lasts you the afternoon.
  • You know what aperture-priority means.
  • You delete more photos in a week than most people make all year.
  • You need just one more lens.
  • You've crawled on the ground to get a shot of something rusty.
  • Your camera equipment is worth more than your car.
  • No one brings a camera to an event if they know you're coming, so we just don't tell family and friends that we are coming to events anymore.
  • Your family doesn't recognize you without a camera covering your face, especially your 2 and 3 year old.
  • You have thousands of pictures and you're not in any of them.
  • You've been up before dawn or out in the freezing cold or even done something semi-dangerous.....all for a photography.
  • When you go to the movies you spend more time trying to figure out their lighting than trying to figure out the plot.(This even applies to watching a TV show!)
  • When you lose track of a dramatic conversation between two characters in a movie or show because you're too busy paying attention to that nice bokeh behind them.
  • When you lose track of the entire movie by thinking about which lenses were used in each shot.
  • Your addicted to Flickr, Instagram or Pinterest!
