Hosting yesterday’s webinar put me a little behind in the preview department and this is one I have been DYING to share!  If I had more time, I would show off EVERY image from this session.  Baby J’s session was perfection from beginning to end.  He was too adorable for words, slept like a dream, rocked every pose, and brought along two gorgeous parents to boot!  Thanks for your patience mom and dad.  Hope it was worth the wait.  Can’t even wait to show you your full gallery!

I LOVE first birthdays! It is an amazing milestone to celebrate and parents are always thrilled with the images that capture their little one’s budding personality. What a personality E had! She was one of the happiest little one year olds I’ve ever photographed. The second I picked up the camera, she would look my way and give me a huge grin. And smiles ARE contagious because I’m smiling looking over these once again! Enjoy your sneak peek mom and dad. I can’t wait to show you the rest because EVERY image is a keeper!!

I had the pleasure of meeting this little man last week. At only a week old he was the PERFECT little poser. He just cuddled up into every set! Mom and dad are from Australia so we had to incorporate their flag for them! It was my second flag shot of the week and I’m digging them lately! We had so many adorable images it was hard to choose! Enjoy your sneak peek!

What a joy it was to help welcome baby A into this family.  Big brother C was so amazing with her.  Young children always react differently to a new baby.  C was sweet, patient, and gentle throughout our entire 3 hour session and I was so impressed with him!  The family shots are some of my favorites from the whole day.  Baby A was a social butterfly as the session started but with the help of the binky, we were able to get each shot off!  She finally fell into a nice deep sleep and then we really had fun.  Enjoy your preview R family!

Pregnancy is such a miracle.  And I feel it every maternity session I photograph.  T and P are about to be blessed with a double dose of miracle.  That’s right, another set of twins to photograph soon!  Can you believe how perfect her belly looks with not one, but two babies in there?!  T, you were positively glowing!  Enjoy your preview.

Wow!  Baby C is so completely gorgeous, it is hard to choose favorites!  She was so fun and sweet to photograph and I loved visiting with her family again.  They visited us just 6 months ago for newborn portraits.  I can’t believe how fast she’s grown!  6 months is my absolute favorite age to photograph.  The giggles, the smiles, the baby chub!  I love it!  Enjoy your preview G family, and your beautiful baby girl.  It was a pleasure as always :0)

It has been so long since we’ve had newborn twins in the studio! These two 1-month-old twins were so lovely to photograph. As with all newborns, the older they get, the more of a challenge it can be to get these sleepy newborn shots. With twins, everything also takes twice as long to accomplish as we have two babies to perfectly pose in their sleep, rather than just one! Just one move and they can wake each other up very easily. I always have an assistant during twin shoots because, as any parent of twins can tell you, you never feel you have enough hands.

Well, M and I were amazing together! They loved being cuddled up with each other. It took these sisters a little bit of extra time to fall into a deep sleep but once they did, we were able to get some beautiful portraits. In the end, twin sessions are always well worth the extra work because everything is twice as adorable! I think you can agree that our four hour session was worth every moment when you look at these two beautiful girls and the bond between them captured. Enjoy your preview mom and dad!

I ended my week last week with baby I.  So perfectly tiny and delicate, she looked just like a doll.  I find that tiny girls are the feistiest of babies, but baby I was an exception.  She was just dreamy our whole shoot!  The lily pad and stick shot are my two toughest sets and this little girl breezed through them both.  Enjoy your preview mom and dad!

My newborns last week were so dreamy.  I have been just gushing over all of these images!  Take baby L for example.  He was so handsome and so easy to pose.  He rocked the hands up shot for a good minute!  Many people ask if that is a composite shot.  About 80% of the time I can get baby to balance up there no problem.  About 20% of the time they are so relaxed that we need a hand to help support them up so we composite it.  And then once in a while, a baby just won’t like being posed that way.  Usually those are the babies who like their arms curled tight into their bodies.  In that case, we just skip the shot all together.  Believe me, babies tell me exactly what they like during our sessions!  Thankfully baby L liked just about everything!  He did such a great job.  And grandmother brought all of the fabulous hats she found on etsy.  Aren’t they adorable?  Enjoy your preview!

E and M were my second maternity session last week and they were a stunning couple.  Mom said in her pre-session questionnaire that her style was simple and feminine.  I was so happy when I uploaded these because those were the exact two words that came to mind.  Of course it helps the images when mom-to-be is so gorgeous!  Enjoy your preview and can’t wait to hear your good news!
