Miss Chloe...

Warning: This post dates me! When I received a call from Zasha (Chloe's mommy) that she had just had a baby girl, I was like "It can't be. She's so young." Then it hit me: it's been a good 6-7 years since I see her. My goodness where does the time go? Zasha was a sophomore at high school when I met her while I was teaching. That was over 8 years ago. Since then, she's graduated from UM with her Master's Degree, gotten married and now has a baby girl. Incredible! And what can I say about little Miss Chloe? She slept like an angel for me and she's already 4 weeks old. Love it when I get sleepy babies!!! I'm thrilled to know that I'll be seeing Miss Chloe more often now as she's part of our "Grow With Me" package. Yay!!!

Baby CJ...

This little man was complete perfection. After his belly was full, he pretty much let us do whatever we wanted with him. I love when I walk into a colorful home! Here, there was this bright marmalade wall in the dining room which served as a perfect backdrop for our session. Mom confessed this is her favorite room as well. CJ + beautiful home = GREAT SESSION!!! :)

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!

Baby Andrew...

This bundle of cuteness made his way to my home this morning! He was so excited to see me, he just couldn't fall asleep. :) It was a battle of the wills for a while between he and I, but in the end I think I won. I think...
Big sister Emma was as sweet as ever. At 2 going on 3, she managed to memorize the lyrics to "Rock-a-bye-Baby" and worked really hard to help Andrew fall asleep. That is until the play room called to her. Colorful shots were on our to-do list and after a little help from Grandma's Target morning shopping spree, we did just that. :) Congratulations to this beautiful growing family!!!

Hello Miss Molly!

I had sooooo much fun photographing this sweet pea! She was as soft as jello, so soft, she kept sinking in to the blankets, LOL. Still, I'm so happy with the images we got. For the one on Daddy's shoulder, he actually thought about switching her over to his other shoulder to not have the "U" tattoo!!!! No way!!! Love it when I have die-hard Canes for clients! Congrats on the arrival of your little girl. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.


Check out the cute chin dimple she inherited from Daddy!


Who's sleepier? Big brother or Molly???

More of Miss Lia...

The whole family came back for a few more of their latest addition. She's still as tiny as ever. I had bought two beautiful new hats from etsy and they never found their way to her tiny little head. :( Still, with Dad's help ;), we were able to get some awesome hand shots!!!







Gigi made it into one. She and Logan are two birds of a feather...

And of course, my favorite trio...



And of course, my favorites are the ones with her brothers Lucas and Logan. I'm in love with this trio!!!
