Baby Boy makes 4

This gorgeous family is expecting another little boy! As I was culling through these photos, I couldn't help myself...my eyes were drawn to Mommy's beautiful hair and skin tone against that rich blue. She truly looks radiant although she doesn't believe this. What expecting mommy does, huh? I was so excited to see her as it had been a good 10 years (in person that is, Facebook is a Godsend). She and I went to the "U" together and were Zeta sisters. It was so great to see how little she's changed and how sweet her demeanor still is. I'm really hoping I'll get the chance to photograph baby Nicholas, hint, hint. ;) Enjoy your sneak peek my friend...

Little Old Lady in 8-year Old Body

This beautiful girl is such an old soul! When you speak with her, it's as if you're speaking to a 50-year old, LOL! She was so into our session as well, coming up with poses herself. Just when she was getting warmed up, it all ended. :( I promised her that at the next session, we'd glam her up and she LOVED that idea! Her communion dress was stunning and more importantly had sentimental value: it was the very dress her Mommy wore at her First Holy Communion! Hearing these stories make me wish I had done a better job preserving my wedding dress. It's still sitting in the garment bag hanging in my closet. Maybe there's still hope and I could use part of it to make my girls' Communion dress (cause you know they'll all be wearing the same one just like their baptismal gown). I digress...Here is the regal Miss Sophia!!!



Love this next series with the hands by the face...

Pretty in Pink (and yellow)

This little bundle of deliciousness came into my studio this Saturday! Her skin is a perfect milky white and the rolls on her thighs make you want to bite her! I absolutely loved her baptismal gown. The slip was made from Mommy's wedding gown and the entire dress was made by her great-grandmother! Pretty spectacular, huh? Part of what makes me love my job so much is getting to know all these wonderful people with fantastic stories to tell. Never a dull day!








Energy!

That one word sums up this little boy! There wasn't a single prop that can contain him, LOL! He was all about being free and playing with his ball! Isn't that what everyone wants??? Still, when he least expected it, I was able to capture some priceless expressions...








and the cake..... SUCCESS!!!

Thin Line between Sibling Love and Rivalry

Mia is fascinated by Gigi! Really, who isn't? She's this red-headed ball of fire always on the move and up to no good. She's a comedian who doesn't even try to be funny. So now it's become a habit of Mia to seek out her Gigi and shower her with hugs and kisses.






And then there's sweet Nana...always so tender with her baby sister hoping for a bit of that love to be reciprocated and sometimes, it isn't. :(



And then, she'll throw her a bone. :)





Ah yes, all is well with the world again!!!



Well, maybe not! LOL!!!!!
