the ilbe family

After a referral from a great photografriend, I got to meet and photograph this fantastic family including their newest addition, baby Max. They were so wonderful letting me into their home with open arms and open hearts. They were fun, kind and just a pleasure to be around and to photograph.

This was my very first shoot for 2012 and it was a great way to start off a new year! I came back from vacation all ready and excited to shoot again after a long (but great) holiday season.

As it turns out, poor baby Max had to have emergency hernia surgery less than a week after our session. He’s doing okay now, recovering at home with some pain and discomfort according to mom. He really likes being held and if the pictures above are any indication, he’ll be better in no time flat! So nice meeting all of you! Looking forward to our next session already!
