Newborn
I was really excited when Shannon and Kevin let me know they were expecting this first child - a happy baby girl named Adeline!
I visited them at home for a quick newborn session. Adeline was a very cooperative model, though she found the whole process a little yawn inducing.
Even their protective pup wanted to get in on the action!
But there was never any doubt who was star of the show.
(This is another long overdue post - or call it a throwback!)
Savannah and Andy were such a fun couple to work with, I was thrilled when I heard they were expecting their first child - a beautiful baby boy named Kobe!
After a little initial fussing (hey, I’m cranky when I’m hungry, too), he settled in and was a perfect subject.
He had a luxurious collection of stuffed animals…
…and a really awesome space theme going in his nursery!
And, obviously, the cutest little toes.
Not long after our maternity session, I got the news from Sophy that their twins had arrived healthy, happy, and ready for their closeups!
Or mostly happy anyway - they were a great team, taking turns crying so they could tire out their parents as much as possible!
Still, plenty of calm, darling little faces were to be found!
Big sister Ophelia even got in on the action when she got home from school. Such a great family!
One more fun one:
Dino for scale! :)
Jessica’s growing family was overdue for some pictures with the newest member. The little guy was very cooperative, and seemed to actually be pretty interested in the bright lights and big clicking machine.
We included mom, dad, and big sister in lots of photos as well. These are always my favorite photos!
A wonderful family I always love working with!
I’m going to make you wait till the end to see what that title is about…
My friends Faith and Vic welcomed their first child, a smiling baby boy, into the world this January.
Luckily we were able to do some newborn photos before social distancing kicked in. Vic V was ready for his close-up with a variety of creative expressions.
After his individual pictures (and a feeding) it was time for family photos. I love these natural poses.
And - at last - Spider-Kid learning the most important things about life from Spider-Dad.
After all those wonderful photos, we had one sleepy baby.
Say hello to Ophelia!
I’ve previously done Sophy and Jeff’s engagement, wedding, and maternity photos. It’s so exciting to see couples I’ve been working with for years starting a family!
Ophelia was very cooperative (though she did politely request a lunch break) and so so SO cute.
Congratulations, Sophy and Jeff!
I’ve previously worked with Maria and Shawn twice - for their engagement and then their wedding. So I was very excited when, right around their first anniversary, they contacted me about doing newborn photos of their beautiful baby girl, Emily!
We decided on using the nursery in their new house (it’s been a busy year!), a lovely room in shades of lavender and bunny.
Emily was a bit fussy at first, but with a little patience and creativity we found ways to get her settled. (Or perhaps she just wore herself out…)
Either way, she was really cute…
...right down to her little toes!
Back in 2015, I photographed Jen and Alex's wedding in Vermont. It was an amazing event in a beautiful setting.
I was thrilled when I heard they were expecting a little boy this spring, and went up to do a few newborn photos for them.
It was my first newborn session - I brought just about every piece of photo gear (and every soft blanket) I own so I knew I'd have all the bases covered. Unneeded, as it turned out - Jen and Alex have such a beautiful house, and the light from the window was so perfect, I needed nothing but my camera.
Little Zack (obviously, I really approve of the name choice) was very cooperative! I was expecting him to be more bothered by my camera, but he slept right through every photo and outfit change. It was a really fun experience and definitely something I'd like to do more of!
