The blog has been neglected, once again! Be prepared for an overload of posts this week! To start off the posting, I present to you a most precious baby girl, Claire. Her and her parents were wonderful to work with, and I cannot wait for them to see all of the images! Thanks for a fantastic session.

I. Adore. This. Family.

I’ve known Mom since I can remember, and I feel so blessed to get to watch their family grow and capture these precious memories for them. The Bryan family just recently welcomed a perfect, gorgeous bundle of joy into their lives. Today I spent the morning taking B’s newborn photos. It was so neat to see how big brother and sister had already so effortlessly welcomed little brother into their home and hearts. I decided to do an all b&w blog post this time. The images are simple, and I couldn’t wait to share them with everyone! I also wanted Daddy to see before he left.

He is so cute, he even had to pinch his own cheek in the photo below!

Those lips!!! AYKM?? Perfection!

The boys of the family. Look at those LASHES! I just can’t get enough of this big brother. I’m amazed by his memory and how he remembered I had a bag of goodies for him to choose from at the end of the session. He asked me if I had anything “cool” this time. lol Love it! He is such an amazing, loving big brother. This photo just makes me melt.

Ok, really? Can’t you just soak in the sweetness that is oozing from those gorgeous eyes. Big sister has grown so much since fall, and I couldn’t help but stop what I was doing every time she put on her excited face and made some insanely adorable hand gestures to tell me about her swim suit. Love, love, love.

And, finally, nothing to me is more precious than mom/newborn skin on skin shots. So simple and so pure.

This session was a pure delight. Mom had an amazing vision for the session, and I was more than happy to hunt around to find the perfect locations to fit the bill. The day went off without a hitch! The girls were practically made to model, the day was gorgeous, the light was yummy, and look at these outfits!!! I do LOVE Matilda Jane!! Thanks for a wonderful time, ladies! I can’t wait for the next session!

OMG, you guys….you have no idea how much *fun* this family was to shoot. By the end of the session they had me ROLLING. They made me walk away from the session wishing I had 3 teenagers and a 5 year old at home – NOT an easy task to do! I know you guys have been dying to see these. I LOVE them!! Thanks for an amazing session!

Here is a long overdue blog post for some very patient parents. Brooklyn arrived 1 month ago, just after Mother’s Day. She arrived to a set of amazingly cool, loving parents. It was such a wonderful experience to work with them. I loved every second, and I look forward to watching this family grow together! Here is a Father’s Day present for you, Michael! Enjoy!

Look at this beautiful baby!!!

*smooch*

Love!

I adore this shot!!

Life is happening so quickly around here these days, I know the blog has been quite neglected. Many posts will be coming soon, as I have a LOT to update!! Last weekend, I got to hang out with the most awesome parents-to-be. I can’t wait for their little bundle of joy to arrive. They are such an artsy, edgy couple, and there home was SO freaking cool. The newborn session is going to be ah-mazing!!! Meanwhile, these two love birds are awaiting Brooklyn’s arrival in serious style. These two may be one of the sweetest, most in love couples I’ve ever photographed. They were so natural in front of the camera, just loving one another – the images I captured are some of the sweetest to date. I can tell these are two are soon going to become an amazing, loving, wonderful family of three! I’m so excited to be documenting their journey into parenthood! :)

How excited do you think I was when I got the call from Robin Rock, telling me she wanted to capture all 5 of her teen/young adult children in an urban setting???? Um, yeah!!! It was a freezing day, but these guys were all so cool and easy going, that the session seemed to take us no time. They are such a genuinely sweet and well-mannered group of siblings. They were up for anything, and they each has their own individuality that they brought to the session. I loved it! Thanks for a great afternoon!! I can’t wait for you to see the rest! :)
