New Beginnings

I think that newborn babies are just incredible! So tiny and soft and so innocent.

The other day I had the pleasure of photographing Brynn & Eric and their new addition to their family. They are such a fun family to photograph anyhow, but with a new addition, well it was truly an honor. 

They loved their photos from their last session so much that Eric built this AMAZING wall of their photographs mounted on wood in a grid pattern. I have a picture of it somewhere and will post it when I find it. Anyhow I got to photograph Brynn literally the day before she gave birth almost 2 weeks early. 

She was so radiant and gorgeous. She is an amazing esthetician and makeup artist with this incredible spa that she operates out of a wing of her home. 

I love slideshows so for this post I linked TWO of them.

Then of course after the birth, I got to come back and photograph their newborn son with his sister, mom, and dad.  He had the cutest little hands, and his expressions were so distinct. You can see his emerging personality, and his little wrinkled forehead, just priceless. 

His sister has a really strong bond with him, you can see he is totally enamored by her.

So a few tips for those sweet newborn shoots... nurse, get a lot of rest both mom & baby, nurse (I meant to say it two or three times) and don't worry if the baby is fussy, I don't rush these kinds of sessions. 

Spring is here! Baby it's cold outside!

The cold winds of March...brrr baby it is cold outside and yet with the sunshine it is glorious. I love the crocus peeking out of the snow. The rainbows and sunshine in the midst of the rain, and that March is my birthday month. 

It is amazing that snow can fall in March...absolutely amazing! I haven't posted for a while and have so much to write about. The beautiful thing about spring is it is unpredictable. I got to photograph a couple of sweet girls at the waterfront the other day, it was sunny, but very cold. Good thing the girls had warm fuzzy coats to keep them warm. 

So many things are happening for the spring... and summer. So stay tuned! I still have a few openings for 2009 summer weddings, so if you are wanting photography call or email to see if I still have your date available.
