looking good... sitting around waiting for this little guy!!

I was so excited to get to photograph this year for S -- I've gotten to know her from my daughter's school and think she is just one of the nicest people I have met -- and an incredible teacher!!  I know she was bummed to find out that she wouldn't be coming down for her shower and shoot, as she was put on strict bed rest.  Even for this, she was careful to not do anything that day that might put her at risk.  I LOVE what we captured and can't wait to follow along this next year as they welcome their first little one.  He's one lucky little guy!!

The most wonderful addition!

the most wonderful addition..... this beautiful family has three gorgeous girls (triplets! three little bears as they were in their "newborn" session) - and imagine how surprised they were to find out they would be welcoming another... a little boy that we all agree will be the most popular freshman in high school with these three blonde beautiful sisters!!  They will be seniors when he's a freshman.... can you imagine??!! I don't think he'll have a hard time getting his buddies to come over to the house!!

we photographed his sisters in this same hat!!!:)

doesn't she look gorgeous??

Ahoy Matey!

It always impresses me when I arrive to a home with the first newborn, and the parents seem so calm and unfazed by the whole new arrival, change of life as you know it!  These two really fit that -- and their little guy is GORGEOUS!!  and what a stellar sleeper!  We even took him outside and laid him in the hammock by the boat!!  Congratulations!

IN LOVE!!

IN LOVE IN LOVE IN LOVE!!  This is almost like looking into the past - N looks just like his big brother when he was born.  I was so excited to get to photograph this second little guy born into this wonderful family -- they are so easy going and really make the most beautiful babies ever!!:)  ...... oh bliss to get to spend the morning photographing this family!!

This next photograph is hysterical..... every little guy should play dinosaurs on his new baby brother's tummy!!

Sweet Cheeks!!

this little guy couldn't keep his hands off his new little sister!! It was absolutely the most loving I've seen a big brother -- he wanted to kiss and hug her and hold her hand..... he was even willing to share his hard earned M & M's with her!!!:)  What a sweetheart!  This little girl is going to be well loved!!

this photo is so dreamy... and straight out of camera!!:)  LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

On the dock

loved meeting this family - they are so comfortable together that it puts you at ease right away.  I would have been so nervous -- so I'm glad I didn't know that Dad is a true photography hobbyist (his words, not mine --- he used medium format and I'm SURE a lot of professionals haven't even had the privilege of using that format!)

A definite favorite!! LOVE this!

Beautiful

loved getting to work with this beautiful young woman... she's just starting into the acting world.  Best of luck, M!!  We loved getting to work with you! Break a leg:)

serenity

totally speechless  (I know - doesn't happen often!!) This family couldn't be more ridiculously beautiful... and they just exude an air of calm and peace that always leaves me feeling I've left them a little calmer than when I arrived. (it runs in the family)

ahhh.......don't know what it is, but this is one of my absolute favorites ever

Sisters to the end!

Oh how tiring all this sleep can be!! (either that or from all the love given to this beautiful peanut!)  It was as sweet as could be watching her big sister want to shower her with love and attention!  ... and amazing how much these two sisters look alike! take a look below for the wonderful big sis. She's amazing!!
