See you on Friday!!

I photographed this beautiful mama to be a couple of months ago – this beach is just so gorgeous – when the tide is low, the rocks are really amazingly beautiful, as is this mama   Baby boy’s first name is Japanese and incorporates ‘ocean’ and ‘to shine’… the beach was the perfect place for our maternity session!

Here are a few of my faves…

Here are a few of my faves from our session… don’t you love the one of him smiling in the crate?  Funny – I had him on the ground in the crate and for this kind of shot, the legs don’t usually keep that position for too long, so you have to shoot fast.  I was still not high up enough to get the whole crate in the frame so I turned one of my buckets upside down to stand on it with the help of dad holding my other hand to balance me… it was going to be a super quick shot for that reason – one snap then I needed to get off the bucket… well little Samuel KNEW it was ‘the’ one shot he would smile for – seriously such perfect timing!  What a cutie!

Meet sweet Maya – pretty girl!  I met mom at Mamafest last May as a vendor as well – she and her husband are the awesomeness behind Murasaki Media – check them out.. super cute videography!  Little Maya was such a cutie during our session – we had a lot of fun getting a variety of poses and headbands on her  Thank you, F family for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your sweet girl

Remember these beautiful soon to be big sisters from mama’s maternity session a couple of months ago?  Wellllll, they are now ALL big sisters to one handsome little guy, Eli!  Yay!  I had so much fun spending the day with this beautiful family for Eli’s newborn session.  Seeing big sisters run around during our session made me so happy – knowing that Eli will have some wonderful playmates when gets older.  I love this family!  Anyways, when mom contacted me a  while back to set up our maternity and newborn sessions, she had only one request for the newborn session – that we get baby boy in her husband’s flight helmet – mission accomplished pee and poop free!! Yay!!  B family, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of such a special time in your family’s life.

Meet sweet baby Makena!  I had the honor of photographing this sweet baby girl last month.  She was such a cutie, and did you see that ginormous smile she gave us (scroll down now )  Cute, huh!  It was so fun picking out headbands and hats with Makena’s mommy – I bring so many styles with me that it’s hard to pick sometimes, lol!  Anyway, we had a great time, and baby Makena was just the cutest.  Thank you, S family for allowing me to capture your family’s special moments

How adorable is baby T… Mom and dad brought in their own carved pumpkin and knit hat with this shot in mind.  I was super excited to do it.  Baby T was 4 weeks old – I photographed him at 7 days old for his newborn session, and was so excited to see him again.  So cool to see him hold his head up so well!  Mom and dad were on both sides of him for safety – he did great!  Watch for Baby T’s full newborn session blog post soon

Mom and dad are rock star twin parents – they are totally organized with feeding and sleeping times… totally necessary when you have two!  Thank you so much, B family, for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your adorable twin boys.  They are going to have so much fun growing up and being best buddies.

Ohh, and don’t forget that tomorrow is Play Town’s super fun Halloween Mini Sessions! I will be there, photographing your dressed up kiddos from 10am to 12pm, so come on by!
