peaceful sleeping newbornIt was such a joy to finally meet Chloe and her family.  My husband was a guest at their home last year and came home excited about a new hobby Chloe’s dad had introduced him to…the unicycle!  My husband spent last summer learning how to ride the unicycle that was lent him and finally decided he was ready to make a purchase.  That was when a deal was made!  I would photograph sweet Chloe and my husband would keep the unicycle.  (Rumor has it that Chloe’s dad has a fleet of them.)   I spent last Saturday afternoon cuddling and photographing Chloe and her meeting her wonderful parents.  Jennifer and Dave, your daughter is beautiful!  Can’t wait to see her riding around someday on her own mini unicycle!

I met sweet Andrew a little over a week ago when he was 4 days old! He looked so peaceful when he slept…which he did a lot of during our session. His mom is a 1st grade teacher, I was too for many years. It was fun to talk about teaching and think about my former students and co-workers.   Mary and Rob, Drew is beautiful. Thank you for letting me spend time with you in his first days. It is always a joy to meet a new family!

And my favorite from our time together:

 







Last weekend I had 2 newborn sessions. (What a wonderful way to spend a weekend!) Vyaan was 3 weeks, an old man in newborn photography terms, and Ollie, who was 3 days! There is something so special about meeting such a newbie! When I first set eyes on little Ollie, I couldn’t believe all of his dark and wispy hair. Gia and John, it was fun spending the morning with you. It is easy to see that Ollie is a loved little boy!





I had the joy of meeting Vyaan and his family last weekend. His mom contacted me when he was 2 weeks old and we quickly squeezed in a session before he was too old to do all of the peaceful and adorable newborn poses. Not only did we get some great poses but we captured his adorable smile! Vijay and Missy thank you for sharing Vyaan with me. I look forward to watching him grow this year!








I spent last Friday morning with Camden and his family. He was a mellow little boy as long as I let him keep his hands near his face. Luckily it looks cute when babies have their hands by their faces! Tim and Becky, thank you for sharing Camden with me. I look forward to watching him grow!

 










I spent a few minutes with my friend and her son Jack today. We wanted to squeeze in a quick photo shoot between preschool pick up and naps. Jack couldn’t have been more ready! He was full of smiles and adorableness.


You may recognize Jack and his mom from my website. Only a few more days and these pictures will be a year old as will this smiley little boy!
