Nothing more lovely

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:23:56 +0000

…than an adorable baby girl in a field of flowers with her beautiful mommy! There must be something about this particular field because so far, babies I photographed here do not want to be put down by mommy and daddy! Yes, she wanted to be held for most of the session, but that is ok and I really love how things turned out. Some amazingly sweet and tender moments between her and mommy & daddy :) The light, the field, the dress, the sweet little girl…sigh, it was so lovely :)

Charming

…that is the one word that pretty much sums it up. What an absolutely charming little guy! He clearly, clearly has an extremely adorable smile (and laugh) – but I think my favorite was his more pensive and serious look – which he gave a lot of while eating a yummy cupcake at the end of the session :) It’s not uncommon for parents to express concern if their little one(s) don’t smile as much as usual during shoots. But truthfully, I prefer it when the babies give a range of emotion from happy & smiley to serious & even clingy. In fact, some of my favorite images are those when babies want to be held by mom or dad – cuddles and snuggles :) I definitely got a wide range from this little guy – smiles, giggles, thoughtful gazes & cuddles! An energetic and sweet baby boy with a big personality!

Heartbreakers

…not one, not two, but three! Three very adorable boys, full of energy and personality! Can you imagine how handsome they will be years from now?! They will be heartbreakers for sure! But for now, they are just as cute as can be. Adorable and full of spunk! And when I say “spunk” – I mean it! They are on the go, on the move, ready to rock & roll at all times! I’m not sure I’d have enough energy for three boys :) Mom & dad are truly amazing. Watching them with their boys is unforgettable! An absolutely gorgeous family!

Double trouble

…they already have one beautiful girl, and now they have two! Double trouble – for daddy – in the future with these pretty girls! The very first shot is my favorite from the session. Totally spontaneous – big sister leaned over and gave baby girl the sweetest kiss, not because I asked–in fact, I was busy taking solos of the baby –but because she just wanted to! She hopped on the bed & just went over to give her a smooch :) I’d have to say she was one of the most cooperative and easy 2 year olds to date – I was reaallly impressed! I also thoroughly enjoyed seeing mom and dad as parents to two, as I was lucky enough to photograph them two years ago when baby #1 was born! It’s always so amazing to be a part of these moments as they start their journey as parents of two. What a beautiful family!

A few things

admin — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 19:25:51 +0000

…for one, this was an amazing session! Not only are the kids totally gorgeous, but they are fantastic models, too! Especially big sister – she was very easy to photograph and very photogenic. Sweet sweet girl, she gave me a big hug and held my hand as we walked to our cars at the end of the session – how adorable is that?! And little brother, wow – he sure is handsome. And when he stayed still long enough for me to snap the shutter, what he gave the camera was jaw dropping. He has amazing eyes and the most adorable smile! So yes, it was a pleasure photographing this lovely family. As if it couldn’t get any better, right? Oh but it did – the weather was heavenly. It was warm, balmy and the sun was golden and simply spectacular. A perfectly clear sunset! I can’t tell you how many sessions I had planned for a nice sunset, only to be greeted with gloomy clouds. So we lucked out this time! Another thing I just loved about our session were the beautiful moments that came so naturally…moments that made me sigh because what I saw from behind the camera totally tugged at my heart strings – mostly when mommy & daughter were together, chatting & cuddling – they have a clear connection that is so gentle & sweet :) I couldn’t help but think of my baby girl – just waiting for the day when we can do the same :) I just loved the energy and the vibe from start to finish. Everything was relaxed and natural….beautiful. I can hardly believe it’s been 2 years since I first met this family! And I am so, so excited to meet baby #3 – I get to photograph his birth! Yippee! I am lucky to be doing what I do. Truly.

Imprint

I love her eyes and the feminine, long, delicate eyelashes that frame them.
I love her pretty pink rosebud lips, her drool…and spit bubbles.
I love how she sticks her little tongue out and tries to touch the tip of her nose.
I love her hair, so fine and soft, like threads of silk.
I love her tiny toes – and every little wrinkle and line that make them uniquely hers.
I love her chubby fingers and the way she clasps her hands together for 23 of the 24 hours in a day.
I love her ears, which she uses to pull and grab onto when she’s tired.
I love her button nose, and the way she nuzzles it in the crook of my neck when she’s falling asleep.
I love her plump cheeks, and how warm and yummy they are after a nap.
I love her smile, that melts my heart each and every time.
I love everything about her.

….

These are the things I don’t want to forget. Ever. With my son, I was so caught up in being a first-time mom…Trying to get him on a schedule, trying to remedy his sleeping troubles, his eating difficulties and everything else under the sun. But this time around, I really appreciate and bask in the beauty of every moment – taking things in stride. I don’t worry about “fixing” anything because really, there’s nothing to fix. I know that everything will take its own course in its own time. So I enjoy every minute. The night wakings, teething mood swings and everything else. Baby-ness fades away so fast, too fast. I want to remember her as she is now – so cute, chubby, perfectly squishy, in all of her baby goodness :) I want these things to be imprinted in my memory forever.

Not the norm

admin — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 12:18:18 +0000

…a sweet, lovable, easy going two year old who was completely and totally okay with doing just about any little ol’ thing we asked him to do during the session without a tantrum in sight?! Seems impossible (as does the length of that run on sentence I just wrote) – this sweet boy totally surprised me! Typically with toddler sessions, most responses to my requests are “No!”, followed by the subject running away in the opposite direction! So this was definitely out of the norm for his age – and I loved it! Plus, look at that adorable face and perfect little dimple on his left cheek! It was a very pleasant session indeed :)

One word

…gorgeous! Simply gorgeous! How beautiful is she?! Her skin so peachy pink and smooth, an adorable little mouth, and eyes so very blue – just lovely! It’s like she knew she wanted to stay awake almost the entire session just so I could continue photographing her pretty blue eyes :) I’m quite thankful that she did stay awake, because it really would have been a crime not to photograph her baby blues!

I predict

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:25:01 +0000

…that a year from now, mom & dad will be buying milk in barrels for their FOUR growing boys! But I’m sure they’ll save lots in other ways since the new babies can wear all of their big brothers’ hand me downs! Very convenient :) I really can’t tell you how much I’ve been anticipating their arrival – I’ve been so lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph their family quite a few times since 2009. After our very first session, I had an amazing time photographing their entire family (over 30 people!) and then mom’s sister’s wedding….and of course a few other family sessions in between. So with the many sessions we’ve had and lots of time to hang out, I was more than a wee bit excited when I read mom’s email that they were both healthy, out of the nicu and headed home….and that I would finally get to meet them! And boy, they did not disappoint at all! They were just as cute as I knew they would be – and better yet, they were super sleepy for our session which meant lots of cozy, precious, newborn goodness. I really couldn’t decide which ones to blog, so this one’s going to be long!

Rise and shine

admin — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:50:01 +0000

…sleepy head :) What a trooper. Although he’s definitely not an early bird, he put up with the morning session so very well! He did give me a few looks as if he was thinking “Really, you got me up early for this?!” BUT, he did laugh and smile alot too….so I think he had a good time :) I did however — really, really love his more serious look…the model pose was priceless! Love this chubby little baby boy! I just want to give him cuddles :)
