Baby Declan on the way!

I had the pleasure of photographing a lovely family at Gemini

Springs this week. Kristine and AJ are expecting their first baby boy

very soon.  Sister Sophia is sure to be a great big-sister.  Kristine made 

this very cool pregnancy sash and I thought it was so beautiful I wanted 

to show it in the sneak peek. The idea is to also photograph the baby in it

when he arrives. She actually sells her custom handmade goods here:

www.sweetiepiesandlittleguysboutique.com

Check it out, she has a lot of beautiful headbands and such for 

girls. Perfect for a photo shoot or birthday party. 

Congratulations to all of you, and thank you for giving me the

opportunity to photograph this very special time.

Baby Atlas is here!

Well. That didn't take long! Two days after the post below, baby

Atlas decided to make his debut! What a doll he is ! Mommy Nicole and

Daddy Emerson could not be more proud and in love with their

baby boy. He is a real sweetheart and very alert and in tune

with his environment. We had a great shoot, and I have to 

say I don't know if any 9 day old baby has ever been this

bright-eyed and alert for me. To get one this young to look

directly into the camera is not usually something I see. 

He is indeed, a very special boy. 

Congratulations to you both, and thank you so much

for coming for a shoot !

Sweet Couple

I had a great shoot yesterday with a fantastic

couple who is expecting their first child in a couple

of weeks. Emerson and Nicole will be welcoming

baby Atlas (coolest name EVER!) at Heart to Heart

Birth center in Sanford. Nicole was very fearless,

climbing over fences and wading into pretty murky

water to get this water shot at Gemini Springs. 

Emerson was a great help when the Gemini Springs

police force (riding on a garden tractor) busted us.

"It's my first child, just give us ten more shots"! 

Loved it!! Thank you so much for your adventurous

spirits and for allowing me to capture this beautiful 

time in your lives. 

Brother and Sister Love !

I did a super cute Spring Shoot with Gavin and Reese

this weekend. The first thing Gavin wanted to point out to me was 

that his sister Reese was in the car. These two kids

are SO beautiful and so sweet too. They are calm, cool

and collected. (at least they were for me!) and I really

enjoyed our shoot at the park. No doubt mommy has

her hands full with two toddlers....but Maria does a 

fantastic job with them and it shows. Thank you to this bunch

 for meeting me at the park.  I can't wait to edit the rest !

A family in love

Sometimes these blog posts take some thinking 

to write about. Others, flow so naturally. Like this one.

Little Liam was welcomed with lots of love into the

Douglas family just last week. I can tell this is one

proud family of a new little boy. Emily, his big sister,

is in awe. Daddy is so proud and mommy is completely 

and totally smitten with him. It makes me so happy

to see so much love and devotion from one family.

As for me, I have to say that after 12 years in 

business....  Liam, you were the easiest newborn shoot

I've ever done.  You were a star!

Thank you to the whole Douglas family for

sharing your sweet addition. 

I hope these photos can show the love.

Sweet Olivia

I had the pleasure of photographing my sister-in-law's niece today.

(what does that make her to me?) not sure...maybe my niece-in-law?

Either way, she is adorable and such a beautiful baby. 

We had a quick shoot at my house today and we got some really 

beautiful looks from this seven week old baby girl. 

Congratulations to Lauren and your family ! 

Thank you for letting me capture this age for you...

Baby Taylor

I had the pleasure of photographing sweet baby

Taylor this week. She was only 6 days old! She doesn't know

it yet, but she did incredibly well for her first photo shoot...

She was so peaceful and slept so nicely for us. I think babies

do better when photographed in their own environment. 

I might starting doing more of that. I want to thank

JoAnn for allowing me to come into your home and 

photograph your beautiful newborn baby girl. I really appreciate 

the opportunity.  Now....I will get busy editing the rest of these!
