    a newborn shoot

    Sunday morning I had a newborn session (one of my most favorite types of shoots) with the "man" family. The baby girl is only 2weeks old. She was cute and squishy and so new. And awake!! A lot. With a full head of hair. She really didn’t stay smooshed up for very long, she liked stretching out instead. Mom & Dad were so relaxed and easy going with me moving around their baby and dismantling parts of the house to get the shots I wanted. Hope you think it was worth it! And dad was an excellent blanket holder. Are your arms tired today? Their other baby is their dog, Bruiser…and the name couldn’t be farther from the truth. He was a big old mush and I had to get a few shots of him too. Img_8055slImg_8069sl_3 Img_8100x Img_8138sl Img_8172sl Img_8184sl Img_8189cbw  Img_8062pr Img_8212

    the arg christening

    Had this shoot (and one other that I am working on now) earlier today for my friend M and her family. They were celebrating their baby’s christening today. One of the baby’s godmothers is from Italy and will be returning home shortly, so I wanted to get the pictures done right away so she could get a chance to have them before she left. I just loved listening to many of the family members speak in Italian- it’s my most favorite language to listen to. I don’t understand much (ok, hardly any) but I just love the way it sounds!

    The baby was so beautiful in her dress, and is such a happy little girl. She has filled out so much since the last time I saw her for her newborn and christmas shoot. So smiley and cute. And her older sister is as gorgeous as ever and such a good subject. It helps when the whole family is so good looking. And on top of all those good looks, they are all so sweet. I was offered cakes, cookies, and champagne. (those Italians and us Jews have a lot in common with the pushing people to eat). Didn’t have the desserts as I am working so hard to do well on this week’s weigh in, and didn’t have the champagne as I didn’t want their pictures to be crooked and blurry. But thanks for offering!!

    Took a few shots at the church as some of the family wasn’t able to make it to the house beforehand.

    Hope you love the pictures.Img_8229pr85 Img_8263sl Img_8307pr Img_8322sl Img_8339sl Img_8359sl Img_8402sl Img_8429sl Img_8442sl Img_8475pr Img_8452sl Img_8458sl Img_8500sl Img_8503cbw Img_8516sl Img_8555x Img_8568sl Img_8574mids Img_8597x Img_8225cbw

    The Pow Christening: a sneak preview

    A few from the Christening on Sunday afternoon. I had a great time taking pictures (yet again) for this wonderful family. Everyone is just way too nice. The baby was sooooo good the whole time- no crying. And every once in a while, she would just turn and look right at me and my camera. Like she knows I am her personal paparazzi! Isn’t she just the prettiest baby?Img_3709e Img_3928e Img_5242cbwcp Img_5243e Img_5323ecp Img_5334e Img_5345e_2 Img_5352ecp Img_5377e Img_5236e Img_5370e Img_5368ecp Img_3805e

    A sneak preview [christening]

    This afternoon I had the pleasure (and I really do mean pleasure- I had so much fun!) of shooting the mcc’s family christening. I haven’t really started my post processing, but since J said I could have a few extra days to do hers since I have to get everyone’s Christmas stuff out ASAP *(thank you so much for that J!) I thought I would post one or two as a little preview. And J….I’m not taking them down, so deal with it!Img_3247ecbw Img_3239e Img_3617sl Img_3629e Img_3689e
