Holiday Newborn Hats
I’ve been keeping a list of my FAVORITE holiday themed newborn hats. If I see a parent with a great one-of-a-kind hat that I’ve never seen before I ask them where they found it and add a link to it on my Holiday Newborn Hat List (like the Grinch who stole Christmas hat I saw just the other day). Some of the hats you can outright purchase online complete and ready to wear, others are only available as patterns to be knitted or crochet.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Crochet Pattern for a Baby Rudolph Hat
Baby Poinsettia Hat
The Grinch who Stole Christmas Hat (and Max too)
Christmas Tree Newborn Hat
Snow Baby Hat

Newborn Hospital Photographer
I am a newborn hospital photographer. I love getting to share just a few moments with new families capturing some professional snapshots of their changed family. I absolutely love my job!
However, I’m also very passionate about helping families document their baby’s growth. I realize my photos are only a tiny moment of baby’s life.
After the birth of my first daughter (now 6 years old) I became very sick and was hospitalized in the ICU for over 6 weeks. I sometimes went up to a week without seeing my daughter. I remember one time, my daughter was brought up to see me and I remember thinking, “That’s not my baby. That doesn’t even look like her.” That’s why it is SO important to get lots of photos.
