Little newborn baby Siva. When her parents filled out their questionnaire, we love how they answered this question: Why did you choose Jewel Images? “Love the passion and the end results!” That’s really what it’s about for us, a passion to capture the very beginning of life so that these moments never end. Baby Siva […]

We love it when a brand-new baby shows us a ridiculously cute expression! Case in point, little miss Sookie. We just can’t get over the wink/yawn she gave us!
