A Baby Boy

Congratulations to Joe & Nicole on the arrival of their baby boy, Jayden.

Baby Shower

You may recognise Barbara from her maternity session that I shot a few weeks back. Her photography service package included her maternity session, baby shower photo coverage 3 maternity prints that were used for display at the shower, and a photo book with photos from the shower and the maternity session.

Her sister worked endlessly to put together this event, paying attention to each and every detail. There were lots of children, who were having a great time with the balloons and the music.

Mom's to be - belly to belly.

Welcome Maeson

Here is 6 week old Maeson in his detail photo that will be part of his welcome package.

This image will also be included in his digital birth announcement along with the image of Maeson and his mom shown below.

Because he is of the Native American culture his Grandma asked if I would take a heritage photo with Maeson holding an Eagle feather

Maternity Session

Barbara and Aiden are expecting their baby girl in May.

It always makes me smile when doing a maternity or an engagement session because the females are always up to the task.
Their other half is usuallly a little less enthusiastic but about halfway through I usually hear a comment to the effect of: "This isn't as bad as I thought it would be."

By the end of the session, if not before I usually get a smile or two from him.

I'll be seeing them again next month to photograph their baby shower.

David's First Birthday

As usual, there was a cake session incorporated at the end of David's First Birthday Session, which is always fun to watch and photograph.

He is such a happy boy!

David loves my camera, so I let him hold onto one while I took his photos with the other.
Though he's starting to take his first steps he isn't quite ready to fly solo. Happy Birthday David!

Christian turns one

Newborns - One Year Old - and a Yorkie

My weekend began with a newborn session for Samuel. 3 week old Samuel is a pretty big.

Here he is with his mom, dad, and big sister Natalia.

Here's my favorite. Angel Baby

Daddy's little Red Soxer
Natalia loved the little doggie that I brought along for the session

From there it was off to see one year old Tavi for his First Birthday Session.

Tavi to date is is the smallest newborn I've ever photographes. He was just over 5 lbs during his first photo session. Here he was then.

One year later. He's grown wonderfully!

He was so funny singing along and dancing to the music.

The hat lasted for a couple of shots.
He really liked the cake eating part of the session and had no problem digging in.

Happy First Birthday Tavi!
From there - yes it was a busy Saturday - it was off to see 6 day old David Alexander fro his debute photo session. Here's the Little Prince.

A boy and his dog.
