Before & After

Every once in a while, I post a Before & After of a recent edit.  I have pointed out more than once on my blog the importance of baby’s safety!  Here’s a before and after that shows that propping up wee ones takes care, patience, and extra hands.  The extra hands are for their safety!  Photoshop can always remove the safety elements!  You can never be too careful!

Welcome Baby A

The parents from my most recent maternity shoot welcome Baby Andrew a couple of weeks early!  And I got to photograph this wee one at 4 Days New! Pure adorableness…and the lips are the best.  Love love love baby lips!

Spring is the Air!

Firsts!  There is something magical and special about firsts…and this is the First Easter for this beautiful baby!  In a blink of eye, she has gone from the teeny tiny newborn I photographed last Spring, to one of the happiest babies [almost 1 – where does time go!] ever!

4.5 Years Old

Stepping back…a little out of order.  But these are shots of my own little one!  Somehow, going back to work earlier in 2011 caught me off guard and I forgot neglected to shoot her 4 yr. old portraits in a timely manner.  So when we were home for Christmas, I managed to take her to the park for some photos before the Christmas Eve service.  Better late than never…I was only 5 months behind!

Love her…love her freckles, personality, charm, goofiness…everything!

Gorgeous Couple–Gorgeous Belly

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to photograph Javi & Ashley and share in their joy at their maternity shoot!  You can just see the joy and love in these photos!  And lucky me, I got to photograph the precious little baby too!

11-11-11: The Birthday Party

A great friend of mine celebrated her birthday in style on 11-11-11…family & friend from all over flew into to celebrate with her & we took this opportunity to do a photo shoot on the beach before the big party [which I did not shoot].  Her is a look at her beautiful family and friends!

And we took the opportunity to play off of last year’s Christmas photo of the kids tied up in lights.  This year, the kids tied up the parents!

They are always so much fun!  Always up for anything…I do have to say that large groups are definitely harder but we seemed to make it work!  I longed for some “sandy” shots, but everyone looked so nice & didn’t seem to up to rolling around in the sand before the party!  Next time for sure!
