Meet Gemma and Malek along with their mom and dad, aren’t they the sweetest? 4 months and 19 months isn’t the easiest sibling combination ever but I’m super happy with what we got, doesn’t hurt that they are both adorable :) Enjoy~
This was a super fun session! I don’t get to shoot adults very often but when I do I sure enjoy it. This is the mom and dad of one of my baby planners. They thought it would be a nice idea to commemorate their anniversary with a photo shoot- no kids! I love their “date night” theme. I thinks it’s so important for couples to keep being photographed together, often the only time you’re ever in a picture once you’re a mother is because you are holding a child. I think it’s great for children to have pictures of their parents over the years, to see their moms as beautiful women and their parents as couples in love.
This is a very special newborn session, one it seems like I waited forever for! Meet my friend Janet and her lovely family. Janet’s son Zack was premature, born at just 31 weeks gestation. He is a happy and healthy boy now but spent months in the NICU and has suffered many health effects related to his prematurity. Last year Janet became pregnant again but her little girl Corrine was born at just 23 weeks, too early to survive. Corrine lived for just 30 minutes. You can imagine the excitement and panic when Janet realized she was pregnant again, with fraternal twins! Every week we all counted down, it was a long and scary road. There were months of bedrest, weeks of hospitalization, medical procedures to try and maintain the pregnancy. We all breathed a sigh of relief when she passed the week she lost Corrine, another when she reached 28 weeks and survival rates went up, another when she passed Zack’s gestation! Every week Janet’s friends got a bit giddier, how far could she go? By sheer will and determination and some amazing medical care the girl made it 37 weeks, delivering FULL TERM HEALTHY TWINS. Last week when we shot the twins newborn session several times we all just stepped back to look at them and cried… and now I’m crying again. What a miracle to watch unfold. A cause that is near and dear to Janet’s heart is the March of Dimes, doing the hard work everyday to prevent prematurity and support the families of premature babies.

Meet sweet Sophia!!! Two and a half years ago I photographed Sophia as a newborn, last week she came back to see me for headshots. What a darling little girl, the curls, the smile, the personality, I was completely smitten and just wanted to keep her :)
You may remember Jackson’s pretty mom from her maternity session a few months ago. Well her little man arrived right on schedule. Jackson is just gorgeous and a joy to those around him! We continue to pray for a speedy recovery for Jackson’s dad who was critically injured in a motorcycle accident last December. He continues to improve and hopes are he can return home to his family very soon.
