Belly Buddies! These two beautiful ladies are the best of friends. It was my first time meeting the lovely, blonde haired Jill – she is simply as sweet as can be. Gorgeous, dark-haired Jennie & I have known each other for 20 years (what the heck is that all about?!) and I’ve been honored to …
Jack has someone he’d like you to meet – he’s very small – and very special – and incredibly adorable! It’s a good thing we did the family maternity photos when we did, because this little one made his appearance 15 days early! When Jack met his new little brother he couldn’t stop talking about newborn “baby …
“If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.” – George Bernard Shaw Not to imply that this family has any skeletons, but while looking for a poignant quote, I came across that and laughed so hard I nearly cried. I’d have to wager there are many a …
One of the most amazingly rewarding moments in my job is when a family asks me back. And this family, has had me back more than a handful of times now! After completing a baby’s first year collection for their first little boy I left the cake smash a little saddened that it would be a bit before …
Sometimes you just find yourself in the right place at the right time to meet the people you’re supposed to know. That very thing happened to us just over a year ago when we found ourselves at the bar (well, that’s not a surprise..) but this particular bar was at WHYM Craft Beer Cafe. We …
I first met this cherub faced, handsome blue eyed boy when he was 3 months old. We had a wonderful at home baby shoot where his sweet face light up every photo. Even the ones where he’s peacefully sleeping in his footie pajamas! Now he’s a big brother, and his little brother is about to be …
You may remember the (first of many) snowstorm we had just before Thanksgiving. (Or you may have blocked out anything thing that has to do with snow at all, at this point!) But around these parts it snowed quite a bit of heavy snow, knocking out Thanksgiving day power to many households making for some …
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home! ~ Charles Dickens I’m having the best time getting to know this family, and was so joyful when they …
The very first time I talked to this family was in September 2008. It’s crazy to me to think that it’s been so much time since I started this crazy adventure I now call my job. Just look how much they’ve changed – yet not changed – in 6 years. This year their grandmother came …
These two adorable bambinos are almost exactly 2 years apart. That’s a lot of celebrating to be had! Check out the gorgeous eyes on these kids! And baby doll is quite pretty too 😉 She joined us for a few photos in the beginning, but then I asked if she could be my assistant and …
