One of the greatest gifts you can give a parent or a grandparent, is a photoshoot. Portraits really are the gift that keeps on giving because photos are such cherished items that get hung on the wall and placed in photo books for people to look at and reflect back on. So for this Grandma's birthday we hangout for a couple hours and snapped a bunch of pictures around the home and then headed to their local park. It was such a beautiful sunny spring day creating such a pretty scene for us. We got so many sweet pictures!
Baby Fiona
To document a family in their home as they have just added a new member which changes the dynamics in the house, is quite special. Life with little ones is crazy precious! I love how the family themselves are still getting used to their new normal, so I love documenting all the wonder and amazement and joy that come with those first few weeks. You can clearly see what I am talking about in the images from this family session. Baby Fiona will never be that tiny again, the newborn stage is over so fast! And the way big sister interacts with her new baby sister is so darling!! And during the many feedings, outfit changes, and adorable cuddles that mom is busy with, dad is with big sister because when a new baby comes along, the older siblings naturally rely more on dad for their needs. I love photographing those moments a lot! They're the real life moments that are worth capturing because looking back at these days will be something you do throughout your entire life.
Kate & Robbie
Can you believe that spring is just around the bend! I am happy to hear that the groundhog saw his shadow, so the warm weather is predicted to arrive early! And over the last week it's been definitely showing signs of winters end! Lets just hope the cherry blossoms aren't fooled by these temps because I am sure there will be more cold days and it would be sad if the cherry blossoms didn't bloom again this year! Either way, I will still be doing spring minis, just like last year! If you put yourself on the mailing list, you will be among the first to know of the mini sessions allowing you to get first dibs on booking!
Check out this mini session with this sweet brother and sister! Of course, since the cherry blossoms didn't bloom, we took full advantage of the vibrant blossoming landscape. We met nice and early on a perfect warm and very sunny spring day! We wandered through the park taking pictures in the most inviting spots.
After seeing these, spring can't come fast enough!
