She was W I D E awake for the first few hours which was nice because usually I like babies to be asleep. It was nice being able to see those pretty eyes. Though.. i was quite excited once she did finally drift off. 20110519-DSC_3501 20110519-DSC_3517

She looks so lady and adult like here. I love it! 20110519-DSC_3576 Love those shoes. 20110519-DSC_3577 20110519-DSC_3620 20110519-DSC_3626 20110519-DSC_3661

Usually I’m either a super big fan of the family shots or I’m indifferent but I R E A L L Y liked the outcome of these. So, sorry there are so many. :) 20110523-DSC_3926 20110523-DSC_3935 20110523-DSC_3943

You three + Sammy are awesome. Congratulations on your little beauty. Thanks for letting me spend some time with you all. Also, I love these photos too(here at the bottom under this text) so I hope you dont mind me posting them Emily. But here is Neil, Jack and Zach and Emily and I the day after Peyton entered the world. Emily was due the same day as me and I popped a WHOLE lot earlier than she did. 20110511-DSC_3302 20110511-DSC_3305

20110422-DSC_1610 20110422-DSC_1613 There’s a new baby girl in town and she is a doll. I had the joy of getting to spend a few hours with her last week and she was an absolute dream to photograph. She is practically perfect in every way. One_Large_Five_Small_Grid

in daddies helmet :) 20110425-DSC_1936 copy I find it quite funny that his helmet needs to be inspected again on my due date. :) 8May. 20110425-DSC_1930 and I guess technically he’s the 5th FNG to the squadron but whatevs.. ;) 20110426-DSC_1967

This is also another shot Ive been wanting to try but it never happens. He was all about not sleeping this morning which is good. Means he’ll sleep tonight right ? ;)

Happy 2 weeks buddy bear!

Ben (1)

Benjamin was an absolute dream to photograph. He is a super happy, sleepy baby, or at least he was a few days ago. He is also a rather large baby when I met him he had just come from the doctor and he weighed in at 9 lbs 2 oz and when he was born he was even bigger! Go mom! Ben (3) Ben (8) Ben (14) I love his little face. ADORABLE! Ben (16) 20110209-DSC_3692 27.4weeks-1 20110209-DSC_3763

While little Ben was getting his eat on I spent a little time with his sister. She has absolutely GORGEOUS eyes! Ben (48) Ben (57) Ben (61) Ben (64)

In preparation for my own little one on the way I am offering a few select complimentary newborn sessions. So if you happen to know anyone expecting from now until the end of February send them my way. :)

Baby Jillian is one of those lucky sessions. She took a while to get to sleep as she just wanted to see what was going on. So until she was ready for her photoshoot I had a little fun with her brother :) He definitely made it ok for me to have a little boy. So stinkin’ cute!His Mama had kissed him on the cheek :)

Their first family photo being the four or them. Big brother was super stoked to be holding his tiny sister! DSC_3073 copy

Jillian has the sweetest lips ever. I have top lip envy. DSC_3108 copy

Goodnight Moon is a vintage from her dads collection of baby photos. Mr bunny is her brothers. I always love the parents ideas. I would have never thought to use a book as a backdrop.
