This family has become such cherished friends and I am so pleased to announce the birth of their first son, Luke…
I met the family last October for big sister Ellie’s first birthday portraits. She is such a funny little girl and was quite gentle with her new little brother.
Christine and Rob, we are so happy for you and your new family of four! Now that the baby is here, let’s set up another “Just Dance” dance-off so I can laugh at the guy’s “Beyonce” moves. We are so happy to count you as friends and look forward to watching your sweet children grow.
In April I had the opportunity to attend Zack Arias’s OneLight Workshop in Phoenix (I will post more on that later). The day after the workshop Jen, my good friend and photographer, set up a senior session for us to practice our new skills on. Our thought for this was that the info would “stick” better if we put it into use immediately.
We had a great time with Taryn and she was such a fun and happy Senior to work with. I think she has the best smile!
Thanks Jen and Taryn!
Kristen originally got in touch with me for a maternity session but Rowan showed up earlier than expected. We moved the pictures from in-utero to out- utero and I think Rowan easily made up for the lack of baby bump pictures by bringing all her 7 week of cuteness to her very first portrait session.
I normally encourage people to schedule their newborn session within the first two weeks of their baby’s life. Newborns at that age tend to sleep deeper and are easier to maneuver. Rowan was closer to 8 weeks but by the end of her session she decided to go ahead and sleep hard for us. She was perfectly perfect.
Introducing Rowan…
Her chubby little cheeks were amazing.
Rowan is very lucky too have Ryan as her older sister. Sometimes three year olds like to give me a challenge but Ryan was just as good natured and lovely as could be, plus she likes to dig in the dirt-a girl after my own heart.
The face on the right met me at the door, his name is Puck and he is Ryan’s good buddy. I could have spent a good hour just photographing him.
I mean seriously, look at those faces!
Kristin and Dave, what a beautiful family you have! Thank you for making me feel so welcome into your home and for being such a great help during the session (and please thank Fran too). You each were such a pleasure to work with and I look forward to seeing you all again!
