Watching this little guy grow up has been a privilege, so getting to see him surrounded by so many loved ones was a great way to spend an afternoon. While I love all the images from this session, the photographs with Grandpa just melt my heart. They are so taken with each other. I love when love so easy to see.
I met Zane on his 10th day earthside, and he snuggled up right away. That said, he was one of the easiest newborns I've worked with, maybe the easiest ever. I love how wide-eyed he was, and I loved seeing how naturally his parents have transitioned into parenthood. I'm excited to watch this little guy grow.
This session? So much love and goodness and beauty. I always love photographing families, but these images overwhelm me. Is there anything better than witnessing what is good and right and true in the world? These guys give me a picture of that.
Blythe belongs to great friends, so I loved getting to celebrate her first birthday. We did these photographs the day before her birthday, and it was a gorgeous, perfect day for photos. The girls played and picked flowers and laughed, and the color of spring so complimented the celebratory atmosphere of the session. It was a wonderful way to celebrate a precious baby girl.
I did Porter's newborn session on a day when his big brother was sick. On Mother's Day, we got together again to update the family photos to include everyone, and I love that fifteen minutes at the park resulted in so many images that I love. I wasn't planning to blog these but as I finished them up this afternoon, I couldn't help myself. Such a sweet little session of such a sweet family...
I wanted to photograph these triplets since a friend started nannying for them after I joined her for a play date. They are as unique as can be but somehow fit right together, just so. Toddler multiples require a lot of patience, and their mom and dad (and aunt) showed up ready to go. I cannot help but smile going through these images. I just love them. Just a quick sneak peek to close out the week...
On Sunday, April 14, Luke made his way earthside. The miracle of new life humbled and awed everyone involved. His mama amazed me, and his dad and big brothers were so proud. It is such an honor to witness a birth, and these photographs illustrate everything about why I love doing what I do. If you are interested in having your birth photographed, please do not hesitate to contact me!
This was my third session with sweet baby Nadine, and my how she has grown! She is a firecracker, full of laughter and squeals and so much excitement for life in general. She wanted to go, go, go, and while she's not quite walking yet, she kept me moving. I love watching little ones grow through their first year, and it's been so fun watching Nadine become her own little self. Can't wait to see what year two holds! Check out Nadine's newborn session here and her six-month session here. Don't you just love her?
Cooper, sweet little man, so anticipated (see his mama's maternity photos here), so loved on arrival (see his birth photos here) and so right at home during his newborn session. This was the most wide-eyed newborn I've photographed to date, but that doesn't mean he stayed awake the whole time. I love the collection of photos that will make up Cooper's newborn session, and I love that his furry friends posed as well. This is a family whose story I have been a part of since before his mom and dad were married, and that makes my day as a photographer, seeing these ongoing stories of love lived out. Welcome to the world, Cooper. It's so good to have you here.
It's always fun to meet a family when they're expecting a new little one, and I loved the low-key hanging out that made up this session. Little man Cohen will be an amazing big brother, and he is a go, go, go busy sort of fella. His mom and dad know how to take their boy in stride, and they sure do love him and each other. Can't wait to meet the new addition in February!
Little lady L has to be one of the happiest babies I've ever met. She smiled and laughed lots during her session. Six months is one of my favorite ages for photos, and it has everything to do with the wide-eyed wonder little ones display at this age. The whole world is amazing, and six-month-olds seem to get that. You can see that in her eyes.
Siblings on a Saturday morning. Big brother had so much patience for his baby sister. Sweetness abounded.
