4 days before the birth!

This beautiful mom came in just 4 days before giving birth to a beautiful baby boy.    She was doing great.  I could barely move at this stage and I was ready to meet my child.

Can you believe it?

Mrs. L is having her 3rd baby!  Yes, her 3rd and she looks fantastic.  She only has 3 weeks to go until she meets this little one.  She came to the session with a few ideas and cute clothing options that were fantastic.  I just loved shooting her and the camera just loves her!

Baby N is here.

I am a little behind on my posting but at the very beginning of May I got to meet beautiful baby N.  I had wanted to try this image of the mom posing pregnant, then having her in the same position holding the baby.  I was very excited with how well we managed to pose.  When the images are played one after the other on top of each other they work really well.

Baby's first year packages are a wonderful gift.   N&A received a maternity session and the baby's first year package as a special gift that will last a lifetime, not just until they grow out of them.  Consider this gift for the next shower you are invited to!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Happy May 2010!!

That is what little girls are made of.  A.S. was just a delight to photograph.  Easy going, warm and friendly, we had a terrific time getting to know each other.   I am excited to meet their first child and we wrote out her name in blocks but they choose two different names.  We shall see what they decide...

So happy to meet the their younger son.

This wonderful family asked to to photograph their first son in September 2008 and I was so excited when they called to tell me that they had a second son and wanted me to photograph him too.

I love it when I get to meet new family members and capture them when they are brand new.   Just a couple of weeks make such a difference in how an infant looks and they become so strong so quickly that it is just such a treat when I get to play with them.  

Check out this beautiful smile!  I love it.

I just love when the are all folded up like this.

Just a little break for a burp.

Siblings have a beautiful relationship that I love to capture.
 

What was he thinking??

 

He was laughing so hard we were all laughing with him.

 

Look at this beautiful family.

 

Mom looking lovely.

This family is growing fast!

Natalie and Andres are expecting their first child in mid-April and Andres' sister is expecting her second baby any day now.  The cousins will be only a couple of months apart and we are going to photograph them together which is just going to be so adorable.  Chatting with them about my experiences brought back lots of memories for me.  I wish them a smooth and "easy" labour.  I told them that my daughter ended up being breech so they offered to turn her and I was not open to that idea at all!  Her delivery was an unscheduled c-section.  My son came along only 16 months later so he was a planned c-section. 

 

  

Look at these beautiful sisters!  They are so happy and delightful and it was a real pleasure working with them.  This is the first baby for their family and everyone is very excited.
