Family of Three and Three-month old!

'Tis the busy busy busy season! Right about now, the phone calls are pretty much nonstop since everyone's realized that the holidays are right around the corner!!! Just thinking about it gives me heart palpitations. Although I LOVE the holidays, they seriously stress me out. When I start hearing Christmas music playing at the Falls, that's when I really start to come undone. :/ I met this adorable family yesterday and soon they will be a family of 4! That's right, Miles is going to be a big brother! And this morning, I had the chance to see the scrumptious Ashton who not so long ago I captured fresh out of the womb. He is absolutely delicious and still has not lost one strand of hair. Perfect!

Miss Brooke!

Now while I don't normally like to schedule sessions at 2 months age, I have to say this session went beautifully! At two months, babies are finicky creatures. They're wakeful and irritable, don't smile a whole lot, and rarely look at the camera. Hello????
Little Brooke obviously did not get the memo on normal 2-month behavior. Just look at this beauty! All smiles and eye contact! She didn't even cry until the very end (really mean reflux :( ) and by that time, she had pretty much given us what we needed. It also helped that Daddy was there. She doesn't even have to see him. Just the sound of his voice set off that adorable toothless grin. A true "Daddy's Girl" she is. Without further ado, I present to you Miss Brooke...

Studio Kinda Day!

With South Florida's unpredictable weather, the studio's been my friend!!! Saturday's three sessions were full of color, smiles, and rain-free weather. :) Here's a peek at all 3...

Beautiful Luna!

How I love a happy baby! Luna's in that perfect laugh-at-everything stage. We played tons of peek-a-boo and dressed her up in all kinds of cute outfits and accessories. I just love her expression in the one with her purple outfit. Sooooo cute!

Miss Sabrina!

What a joy to have those big blue eyes in my studio! She is just a ball of deliciousness from head to toe. She didn't seem too much in the mood for smiles until we started singing all kinds of songs. That was the secret! Aren't her hats the best? And those butterfly wings and matching headpiece... to die for.






and here's one for Grandma...

Learning from Beth Jansen!

I've been so busy lately that I was craving some "Me" time. When I got wind that Beth Jansen was going to be in town, I jumped all over it and I'm sooooooo happy I did. She is so easy to work with and an open book about her workflow, how she styles her shoots, how to look for the best light, and her post-processing work. I was a sponge! You can see her creativity and fantastic use of color on her blog: http://www.bethjansenphotography.com/blog/

Our small group had the opportunity to shoot in all kinds of situations: urban, beach, window light. Of course, my favorite was the newborn session. We were fortunate that Baby Ben was an absolute dream to work with! Here are a few images (including some of Beth working her magic) from our sessions. I used some of her processing on my images as well and I love how they all POP!!!! Thank you, Beth! It was an amazing experience to work with you!
