This Mother’s Day is extra special for me because I get to celebrate it for the first time with my daughter and my mother.
Happy Mother’s Day…
…to my sister. I hope to be half as great a mom as she is…


…and to my mama, who is also an incredible grandmother…

…to T’s other awesome grandmother…

…and to my lovely client mamas…

Thank you all for showing me the countless reasons it’s so unbelievably wonderful to play this role! ♥
It’s been an amazing almost 10 weeks being a mother to Talia…
(Belly at 37 weeks and T at 1 week… I’d wanted to take these shots since I saw Baby as Art‘s beautiful photos of the singer Pink in People Magazine last year.)

And with my little T more grown up:

Happy belated birthday to gorgeous Emma! Her eyes are ridiculously gorgeous, she’s so happy, and her dimples are too much. Now, she’s expecting a baby brother to arrive in just a few short weeks, so we had to sneak in Emma’s 1-year shoot before it became a big family affair!
(Some shots of Emma’s 6-month shoot can be seen on my Facebook page.)




Can’t wait to meet the little guy in there so soon!

Since Jess is in the hospital right now delivering the newest addition to their family, I thought it was fitting to post a preview of her last-minute maternity shoot from last week. Jess was looking amazing at full term, probably in part due to keeping up with their adorable, rambunctious 2-year-old Max!





Thinking of Jess and family today and can’t wait to hear their great news – and hopefully meet the new little man in November!

So many siblings coming to my little clients! But Sydney is no baby anymore… Even though she just turned two in June, she is such a little lady, so independent and grown up. Since her last shoot in November, she’s really transformed from toddler to teenager! And mid-September, she’ll be a big sister.

Love Ali’s big belly!

And of course we had to get some of just Syd. Her dimple is the cutest:

Can’t wait to hear about – and meet – and photograph! – the new addition to the family really soon!

I’ve been photographing Alexander since he was just a few months old (check him out at 6 months and 15 months) – actually, he was only a few weeks old when I first snapped a photo of him with newborn E. Now, he’s about to be a big brother – as in, Thursday. Christina is looking great – braving a photo shoot just days before delivering baby boy number 2.
Alexander, of course, at 21 months has no clue he’s about to get a new family member, but here he is having a laugh with his mama:

My favorite of our session… Christina, looking happy and so pretty:

Can’t wait to meet the new little guy later this week!

We met Peppe when we moved here and discovered Cafe Epicure (he makes the best pizza), and I met his wife and baby girl Eleonora at the restaurant a couple of years ago (wow, what a gorgeous family). Now they’re expecting their second little bambina at Thanksgiving, and I finally got them in front of the camera for some maternity photos.
I can’t even stand the beauty.

Stunning ladies…

Love…

Eleonora is the sweetest little girl… gives her parents so much love…

One last shot of the bella:

Cannot wait to meet the baby in a few weeks… Baci grandi, Giovanna, Peppe e Eleonora!

It’s the seasons of baby bellies – and soon-to-be newborns – and I love it! This family in particular really brought me back to what we were feeling last summer when little E was soon to be born – first grandchild, two sisters, so much excitement.
Bri’s due to have her baby girl early December, and I can’t wait to meet the little one. She will be one very loved princess – and beautiful, if she’s anything like her family!
The family invited me out east to their sprawling property, where Bri’s sister Randi got married about a year ago. The light was perfectly soft, the weather has finally cooled down (some), and it was so peaceful (minus the 18 mosquito bites I’m scratching as I type – so worth it!).
Here are the gorgeous expecting parents, Anthony and Bri:

One more shot… just look at these models!

Thank you for having me to your beautiful piece of paradise, Bri and family! See you (plus one!) in December.

I love getting to photograph a woman and/or couple just before they’re expecting a new addition to the family – and then photographing the little peanut when he or she arrives! Although Sarah is on bed rest, she’s feeling (and looking) great – and we tried not to keep her up and about for too long.
You can feel the excitement and love coming from these two…

There’s something about the belly, the hands just touching, her rings… I love this moment.

And lastly… she just felt the little one move.
Makes me smile.

Can’t wait to meet their new family member in just over a month!
