I'm so excited for this couple and the birth of their first baby boy! There is absolutely nothing more special than the birth of your first child...and your second, and your third... I can still remember after my first baby shower, all the excitement of bringing home all the baby stuff and taking it out over and over again. I knew I was already in love. With this huge family around him, this little guy will definitely be loved!! Here's just a few of my fav's...
Here is a holiday sneak peek for one of my favorite families! These guys always make my job easy by just kinda falling into place, I don't even think they mean to but they are all just so photogenic!! Enjoy your sneak peek!
This sweet baby is one lucky little girl because she has not only her Dad, but two other special guys to love on her. You might remember them from here. She did perfectly for our session with a little help from mama. I just love her perfectly dainty little features!! Hope you like your sneak peek!
Meet my newest nephew, Little "A." He's a very special guy for many reasons. First, he was born during the October Noreaster, October 31st, a birthday which he shares with his big cousin, my oldest son. He was born during the weeklong blackout...he decided to come when the family was stranded at my mother's all together, seven children, six adults and two dogs... amidst perfect chaos. Second, he is so special to our family because he shares the name of my grandfather, his great-grandfather...the best grandfather a kid could have, the man who anchored our family. I wonder if our new little guy will be as spunky as our grandfather was. I bet he will... Here he is in his first of many photo sessions from his aunt Mar...meet Little "A."
I lucked out and the rain held out for my session at the state park today. I had an awesome time with an awesome group of people. This group of friends wanted a session with all of their families, which I thought was the coolest idea...this was my largest group yet. Considering there were eight kids under five, and it was pretty frigid, I think you guys did so great. Your kids were just adorable. Thanks so much for your patience, and for all the fun! I picked out a few of my favorites from today's session...enjoy!
Yesterday's newborn session was very special to me because it was for my childhood best friend's second son. It's so amazing how God brings people in your life, even as early as little kids, that stay with you for life. It's been so wonderful sharing motherhood with my friend, and watching her little guys grow. This tiny little peanut surprised us all coming into the world very early, but as you can see, is just perfect! Thanks so much guys for all the fun yesterday, hope you enjoy your sneak peek! More to come!
One little smile...
My session today was especially fun because the sweetest baby girl gave me some incentive to get through these last weeks of my pregnancy.(Not like I have a choice anyway.) Baby "O" seriously was the prettiest little thing, and although she put up a little fight going to sleep, some milk from her mama did just the trick. I especially love photographing these friends of mine, because they are always open to anything! Thanks so much for letting me play with your little doll. She's beautiful! Enjoy your sneak peek, I definitely had a hard time choosing my fav's!
We thought this little guy was gonna give us a hard time because he's a bit older than my usual newborn sessions....BUT....we got him to sleep and he did great! I know his safe arrival is such a blessing to his family and I know he is going to be completely adored by his two big sisters! Thanks for letting me snuggle with your sweet boy. Here is your sneak peek! Hope you like it!
The more I photograph families, the more I realize that it's the nonposed, natural moments that I truly fall in love with. While it's always great to have some shots where everyone is looking at the camera smiling, these shots aren't truly my favorites. The way Mom and Dad look at their kids, the unprompted outbursts of laughter, these are the moments I love to capture. After I have a session I cannot wait to go home and review my shots, and I always have a few that I just know came out great. But the true gems of the session for me, are when I load my files, and I've caught some of these awesome natural moments, that capture you just being you as a family.
I had a blast at this family's session. We were hoping the rain would hold out for us, and it did! We lucked out and were left with the perfect light, a perfect overcast day at the park! This cute little guy may be small but he kept us all on our toes chasing him all over the park! Thanks so much "L" family! I had a hard time picking out my favorites...tons more to come! Enjoy your sneak peek!
I love this next picture because when we finally got little "E" to sit for a moment, he decided to munch on some dandelions! I love everyone's expression in this one!
And one just to capture how fast this little cutie really was! His older brother even had a hard time keeping up with him!
