Itty Bitty Lauren

Oh, newborns... they're so fantastic at pulling on my heart strings. So tiny and perfect and poetic in their movements, there's nothing more lovely than spending an hour photographing them. I met Rachel and her hubby in December for their maternity portraits, and I was so happy to finally meet little Lauren last week. Here she is in all of her glory!

April Shower

I have to do it; I'm showering my blog with portraits of April. I can't help it, there are too many to choose from, this little cookie was far too much fun, I still can't believe all the quirky little poses she gave me. She was in such a good mood she practically smirked at me the whole time, which is great for those little teeth shots!

My favorites are a toss between the "runaway baby diaper grab", the forehead mommy hug, and this first one...






Happy Happy Happy

I got really lucky last week because every little baby that showed up for a session was as happy as could be, and that included Connie's little guy. Bright eyed and even flashing me a tongue here & there, this little one made my job almost too easy! Here's a peek at a few shots from this session...




A Romantic Session

A romantic session is what I get when the beautiful sunlight I get in the new loft meets a super cuddly baby for one great session. I had a session with Mahima's little cookie the other day and am so thrilled with so many of the images that came from it. Another affectionate and loving family that gave me the sweetest, warmest moments to capture. Here are a few of my favorites...






How about this hand shot? Don't you just want to eat those fingers? :)

Havin' a Hoot!

My biggest goal with every session is to make everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, but most of all, to make sure we're all having fun! The Adamou family definitely caught on to that dealie-o when they came by for their session! We had loads of fun as each kid showed me their best tricks and shared all of their favorite things with me in conversation. Here are a few of my favorites from this session...



Sweet Baby

Well I'm in and settled into the new place and am in love-love-love with the space. My first session back was with Indira and her parents, and I had such a great time photographing this little button. I adored her eyes and her little button nose, and she was so expressive, she gave me a wide range of looks to shoot.



Have you noticed the hands in my photos lately? I've really been enjoying incorporating parents' hands in my portraits these days. I've found it's a great way to create more intimacy in a photograph, and I of course always love to see a connection going on in a portrait. Here's an example with Indira... and I couldn't leave those little toes out, so don't miss out on those!
