I’ve done it.  I’ve gone and fallen in love with newborns and newborn photography. So much so that I’ve decided to make it a focus of my business.

How could I not?  Meet Gavin.

How could I not adore the itty bitty fingers and toes, sweet sleepy smiles, and that wonderful baby smell?

I don’t think I could have timed this shot any better!

Clearly, I’m not the only one who adored little Gavin.
Isn’t his mama just gorgeous? You’d never know she’d had a baby less than two weeks ago!

Stay tuned for more newborn sweetness in the weeks to come!

Have you ever spent an afternoon with three year old twins who have boundless energy?   I had a whole new respect for their lovely parents after hanging out with these two cutie-patooties! (Yes, I just said cutie-patootie on the blog!)

Super three year old energy aside, these two were totally sweet and I had a blast at our session! I can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown next year!

Whew!  After a busy holiday season I’m finally getting back to getting the blog posts up and running again.

Up next is this beautiful family I had the pleasure of photographing just days before the father deployed to Afghanistan.  Due to the lovely military scheduling, we had no choice but to shoot on one of the darkest, dreariest days that week!  It rained on us the first few minutes of the session and we hid under my reflector and a gazebo, but then it let up and we were able to record some great moments for them!

Hi all! I am finally catching up on blogging so stay tuned for some recent work over the next few weeks!

I’m kicking it off with this super fun family since I posted a photo from the session already! Spencer is clearly loved but I just don’t know how they keep up with him, he kept me on my toes the whole time! Isn’t that smile just melt-worthy?!

The sand on his nose just makes that first photo for me!

I had so much fun shooting this session and laughing with such a fabulous family!

Wasn’t it an absolutely beautiful evening on the beach in Surf City?
