baby elia: newborn session!

9 weeks.

oh baby! last week i met the darling baby elia – it’s been a long time since i photographed someone so little and i loved it! elia is tiny, perfect, and has two wonderful parents who simply adore him. elia is alert and intense – his gorgeous eyes fixed on everything – especially my camera! being with them in the nursery was so great – i so enjoy watching the interaction between new parents and their baby. i could see the pride, fascination and love they both have for this little guy – and after the first few minutes i loved him too!

after some playing, laughing, crying, and napping, we took a walk to their favorite park. elia looked ridiculously cute in his tiny baseball cap and he loves being outside. it was a fabulous way to spend the morning and i am so grateful that his parents invited me into their lives to meet elia and capture all his expressions and adorableness!

enjoy!

timothy: lifestyle session!

oh baby!

ta-8345

baby timothy is THE definition of a “bundle of joy”! this jubliant little boy is about to celebrate his first birthday and i am so happy i was able to spend the afternoon documenting his amazing expressions, adorable giggles, and fabulous smile! one of my favorite couples ever – katie + chris (you can recognize them from the renowned “bench photo” in the blog header!) – gifted this lifestyle session to timothy’s parents…so awesome! i *love* when people purchase gift certificates for friends + family – it’s such a meaningful present and i love being part of something extra special!

even more awesome, i actually met timmy as a brand-spankin newborn when he attended katie + chris’ wedding almost a year ago! i remember seeing his mom and this tiny baby bundle standing quietly just outside of the tent, separate from all the dancing and craziness of the reception. i’m always amazed at teeny newborns, and i loved that just days into his life timmy attended of the most rocking weddings ever!

fast forward almost one year later when i get to meet timmy again – this time he is full of personality, excitement, and such amazing energy!

happiness is laying in the grass on a spring afternoon, snapping away as a beautiful baby marvels at the world around him…thank you to timmy’s parents for welcoming me into their home + lives, and thank you to katie + chris for making this session happen!

enjoy!

brynn: lifestyle family session.

baby makes three.

hello baby brynn!

it was such a delight to spend the morning photographing this lovely family – i love lifestyle sessions because i get the chance to observe and document family life + love and capture such awesome moments!

to me photography is like life: best appreciated for the moments in between – the emotion, the laughter, even the tears – and i think its amazing to preserve actual memories, not just staged photos. i always love a few really nice family photos, but i adore how expressive *these* photos are, capturing brynn’s incredibly inquisitive gaze, her intense dislike of hats, her big wide yawn (love!) and her tranquil sleepiness. in turn, i absolutely love seeing the reactions and expressions on her parents’ faces in every image – they look at her with admiration, awe, concern, and such incredible, unconditional love. it’s easy to see why family is so special and how our lives are truly shaped by the love we share.

here’s to babies – little bundles of joy (and tears, and laughter, and everything else you can imagine!)
