I was looking through my files and remembered that I wanted to blog about this session.  Meet Baby R.  His mom and dad are just the sweetest.  They were so relaxed during the session–which made my job a breeze.  And just from the few hours I spent with this family I could feel their love and how much this little boy means to them.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing mothers out there.  It’s the hardest job out there, but the most rewarding–really!

This beautiful little girl’s grandfather has been taking care of our children’s health since they were born, so this family has a special place in my heart.  It was an honor to photograph her.  Does she not have the most beautiful hair?  Her parents and brother are such lovely, relaxed and sweet people. So without further ado, meet Baby E.

I had such a fun time photographing this little guy, and meeting his parents.  His parents were so relaxed and fun, that you would never guess that this was only their second child.  With all of the beautiful teals, blues and textures, I was in heaven finding places to photograph him.  And did you notice how adorable his sister is as well?  I’m sure they are enjoying their new little bundle of joy and his sister on this Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait to see their images on their walls.

Meet Baby B.  Isn’t she beautiful? And look at her soft, beautiful full head of hair!  This little girl’s family is also just so beautiful and so sweet.  It was such a pleasure spending time with them to capture this amazing time in their lives.  By the way, one of my favorite things to see is when families display their images in their home.  This family has such a colorful display of images that they see everyday as they walk around their house.  It really warms my heart to know how valued family portraits are.

Meet Baby R.  He is such a lucky little one, as his parents are so sweet.  I think these portraits speak for themselves. Can’t you just see the love they have for each other?  An look at how cute Baby R is–and that hair…  What a beautiful family!

Meet baby boy– G.  Most of the families I photograph are just so appreciative that I’m there capturing a moment in time for them, but this family is way beyond that. The entire family, including and especially Grandma C, are such gracious and generous people.  To the point of showing up with chocolates from Ireland, and coffee from the near by coffee house, offering me breakfast, and more.  I had the feeling I got when I visit my very generous and hospitable family in Europe. Grandma flew in from out of the country for her grandson’s birth, and is staying to help out, and I am so glad to hear that the family love their images.  Here are a few from the pregnancy and newborn sessions.

I’ve been neglecting my blog lately, and I’ve been meaning to show you some images from this session.

Meet Baby A.  This little boy is so lucky to have such wonderful parents, sister and dog to grow up with.  Like so many of the families I photograph, they welcome me into their home like family.  Grandma was there as well, and she was so much fun to talk to when I was breaking down, after the parents had to leave for a doctor’s appointment.  Ahhh, photographing newborns never gets old!

Meet Baby R.  He’s a handsome little guy with a couple of cool parents.  They were SO much fun when they were viewing and choosing their images.  I think mom and dad were pleasantly surprised that we got so many wonderful images, as Baby R. wasn’t quite in the mood for pictures on the day I was there photographing.  What’s great is that one of the shots that we all fell in love with was an unplanned shot with this adorable squishy pouty face (the black and white one below).  We were originally trying for the peaceful sleeping shot in the same position, but each time we tried, he would have nothing of the sort, and immediately got pouty.  I love when I get an even more amazing image than the one I planned on.  Such a cute baby!!!!

I was just thinking about this shot today, as it’s one I’ve been meaning to show.  It’s one I took at Janie & Jack a few months ago, but I remember just loving the tender look dad was giving his baby.  And this newborn looks so comfy in dad’s arms.

This newborn little boy is so lucky.  His parents are just so enamored with him, as are his grandparents.  I had such a lovely time photographing baby J.  He’s just beautiful and such a sweetheart!  Mom and dad just moved into their new house, after spending some time decorating it, so I just couldn’t help photographing the family in their gorgeous breakfast nook.  Can you imagine the good times and lovely breakfasts that are going to take place in there?  And I’m really excited that some of these are going to hang big in their home.  What’s better than personal wall art?

ETA: I completely forgot to mention his cute little mohawk.  Doesn’t he have the cutest hair?
