This family was just too much fun to photograph. We met up at an apple orchard and had a great time rolling in the leaves, drinking AMAZING apple cider, and finding the perfect spots to shoot in.
I think this is my favorite shot from the whole day. His smile is contagious!
Mom was just gorgeous in this soft light. Another little one on the way and she's just glowing.
Another one of my favorites -- there are really too many to choose!
What a fun day!
The moment I met these two, I knew we'd hit it off. Mom loves being pregnant and simply glows with anticipation and Dad is calm, strong and kind. What a beautiful home for a little one to come into.
I think this is my favorite shot of the day. Lovely.
Don't they look amazing? The excitement is tangible!
This session was SO. MUCH. FUN. I mean, okay, they have a Boston Terrier (Lucy) so OBVIOUSLY they are awesome people. ;-P
They are expecting their first baby this December and I couldn't be more excited for them. And once you see these photos, you just know that their baby is going to be super good-looking!
I think we laughed the entire session -- between the dog not wanting to eat the turkey they brought, imaginary snakes in the grass, and the rouge balloons, we definitely had some good giggles.
We scheduled the session for late afternoon and I figured we get some beautiful sunset shots, but then this happened...two suns, one in the sky and one on the water...one for them and one for the baby. It took my breath away right there on the spot.
I wanted to include a little montage here (click to make bigger) to show you how great these two are: serious then loving, silly and charming. Love them together. Can't wait for their little girl to come.
I went down to LA last weekend to photograph this gorgeous mommy. We borrowed an artist friend's Mediterranean house for the shoot and had some serious fun. We were surrounded by modern art and furniture, in addition to lush gardens, so we took full advantage and created some exquisite images.
There is a beautiful phenomenon in this world -- that of one's heart expanding endlessly in its ability to love. Anyone could see how much love and respect these three have for one another and I look forward to watching there be even that much more love once their second little boy arrives. I can't wait to meet him.
I had so many favorites from this maternity session that it was tough to choose just a few for the sneak peek, but here they are -- beautiful and glowing.
One of the best parts of my job is being inspired by the people that I photograph. This couple were high school sweethearts who married young and waited until they had been together almost 20 years to start a family. Now, they couldn't be happier being parents and very obviously show it. The way her husband looks at her and they way he kisses his little girl...well, it just puts a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart.
