Need I say more?

sneak peek: for her birthday

Posted on April 9, 2010

This session was scheduled as a birthday present… Two girls and their father – the oldest daughter’s birthday wish was to have family photos taken and I loved hearing that. I don’t think there is a better gift you can give yourself or your family.

Here’s the birthday girl on the left and her lovely little sister on the right.

Such sweet girls, very close in age, and I couldn’t help but think about how they matched the beautiful flowers so nicely…

And their dad… Quiet at first, but by the time we were finished I could clearly see the loving and playful dad that I’m sure these girls feel so blessed to have.

I had so much fun with this family and I truly enjoyed getting to know them during our session. Can’t wait to show you the rest “A” family and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

sneak peek: Baby “C”

Posted on April 2, 2010

In early February we captured a few last shots of this couple on the verge of a life-changing event…

To be married for several years, and then to finally decide that its “time”, no matter how ready you think you are, it really is life-changing.

And beautiful.

There is no doubt, we all worked hard for these photos. Baby “C” was a day shy of two weeks old at the time of his newborn session. That’s really cutting it close because the older they get, the more difficult it is to get the sleepy curled up shots. And what’s more, the night before he had his first long stretch of sleep… Maybe bad timing for our session, but such a great time of transition for parents. I hope that he has kept it up since then.

Dad was such a trooper. He drove him around in the car at one point just to calm him and get him to sleep. He did sleep, but it lasted for a very short while. Totally worth it for the sleepy smile though.

Sleepy? No, not me.

And then there was the posing. These shots just crack me up, right down to the pointed big toe.

By the end he just hung out and chilled.

Sleeping baby or not, I am so pleased with what we captured in this session. Just a precious baby boy who didn’t want to miss a beat of his first photo session.
