Motherhood

families

This little peanut absolutely adores snuggling up to her momma. She was so at ease being photographed when she was in her mother’s arms, responding to her sweet sounds, the perfect place to take a little nap. Newborn sessions are a must in my opinion.

Gabby turns 5 today! My baby is really not a baby anymore…. I look at this picture and a flood of emotions overcome me. I could cry. I remember that day (2.1.07) like it was yesterday. The delivery was quick. The doctor handed me my little girl just after this image was captured. She was […]

Here are a couple of new photos of a new little girl. She is the product of two very lovely parents who I have had the pleasure of knowing since they interviewed me to shoot their wedding (I got the job by the way). This is one of the coolest things about what I do. It is REALLY wonderful to see a new family start and grow.

Here are a few shot from a recent newborn session. This family was so kind and loving that I can’t imagine the future weight of the world ever coming to bear on his ever growing shoulders. I hope to be able to document baby “X” for years to come.

I had the pleasure of photographing these two brothers the other day and I thought I might share. How cute are these two? I can get over the huge eyes on the older of the two. The younger ( two weeks old) was a sweetie with a great disposition. He was asleep when I arrived and remained calm through out. Not a cry to be had which is not to common for a newborn baby.

He started off a little wary of me but with a bit of time and a lot of playing we hit it off. He ran circles around me as only a kid can. Luckily I am good with moving targets and I have been doing more cardio lately.
