Apparently I’ve missed photographing little ones, because I’m having a tough time narrowing down the shots for posts… Oh well. Lots of photos again.

I’ve posted about Summer before. She’s the daughter of our good friends Steve and Karin. We hadn’t seen her in a while, and she is growing up fast – talking, laughing, dancing, and just generally being a really cute 18-month-old. Since we didn’t get to do a real photo session during our last visit (was it really 35 degrees?!), we took the opportunity to try it out again. This time, it was about 90 degrees (where did spring go??), but at least it was sunny and Summer could play outside.

First, this adorable girl in her super-cute summery dress:

Summer

Summer has so many precious and hilarious facial expressions – happy waves, tongue-out-in-concentration, big-toothy-grin, pure joy, lower-lip-stuck-out-in-confusion, etc. Check them out in the many shots below.

Gathering some fun things to take outside:

Summer

Out in the yard now, playing with a drumstick (Summer’s random choice), a coffee pot (J’s also-random choice), and the beautiful flowers:

Summer

I felt that this one should stand on its own – so girly, so springy/summery:

And some cuteness with her mama:

New outfit, new toy – bubbles!!

Lastly… Bye-bye from Summer!

Here comes a super-long post (of lots and lots of photos)…

I’ve been excited to take photos of my photographer friend Holli since I heard she was pregnant. First of all, Holli is beautiful (yep, inside and out). Second, she is incredible (generous, sweet, funny…). And third, her family is also both of those things.

Well, the opportunity for maternity shots came and passed, and now little Ava is here. So this weekend J and I finally got to meet the 6-week-old peanut and play with big brother Mason. 🙂

Now for some photos!

First Mason played around in the pool on the very, very hot day:

Mason

…While Hol and Ava had a little moment. (“Wake up, Ava. You have guests!” Nope, nothing. Out cold.) Check out Ava’s adorable Mohawk!

Holli and Ava

So we brought her inside for some beautiful sleeping shots…

I love, love, love this one:

Holli and Ava

And maybe this one, too:

Holli and Ava

Okay, so they are good models. I sort of love this one, too…

Holli and Ava

And some other super-cute ones of these super-cute girls…

Hol tried to get some with Ava’s eyes open. Didn’t happen.

Holli and Ava

Maybe this?

Holli and Ava

Okay, Ava, you keep sleeping. (How sweet are these…? And Holli’s eyes – forget about it.)

Holli and Ava

Her eyes are open (sort of)! Could this little girl be any more precious?

Ava

Yes, she can, here: (one of my favorite teeny baby shots)

Ava

Time to put some clothes back on… and be awake for just a minute.

Ava

Now Kevin’s turn to get into some photos:

Holli, Ava, and Kevin

Too adorable…

Holli, Ava, and Kevin

Time for Mason to take off his water wings and get in on the love:

Mason

Snuggle from his mama – those eyes…

Holli and Mason

He is so, so sweet to his baby sister…

Mason and Ava

And lastly, tiny baby feet:

Ava

Oh – and a couple Holli took of me and the munchkin (thank you, Hol):

Mother's Day Photography Special

Read Full Post »

Yafo is one of my favorite spots in the Tel Aviv area, maybe in Israel. It’s an amazing combination of ancient history new design, art galleries in narrow, steep alleyways and stunning views of the Mediterranean… just gorgeous and fun. There’s also the flea market, packed with people and cafes (as usual around here) and tons of great finds (most of which I had to avoid checking out too closely because there is no way to bring funky patterned chairs and vintage dressers home).

Here are a bunch of photos from our day in Yafo, starting with the flea market:

Where’s Waldo (i.e. E) at the flea market…

More E at the flea market, posing in a chair I really wanted to bring home for future portraits. Oh, and note his adorable Beatles outfit (thanks on his behalf, Molly!) and organic Baby Star jeans:

A super cute children’s/houseware store (photo taken for our friend Erin – I envisioned her accenting their possible future child’s room with this kind of stuff but thought it inappropriate to buy anything in anticipation…)

Gorgeous handmade leather shoe shop:

Strolling by Tel Aviv beach yesterday (on my mom’s birthday), which is two blocks from the apartment, I snapped some shots that reminded me of my parents’ photos from the ’70s.

It’s 2am, and I’m stuffed silly from a really delicious and fun Passover seder…

So just a quick post of E at the Dead Sea – and yes, it looks like it could be one of many bodies of water, but note the floating man in the background of the left-hand shot:

YAY! I can’t believe we are a few hours from being en route to Israel. We haven’t been since 2007, and this time, my sister, brother-in-law, and little E are temporary residents – and we’ll all be staying together in our own apartment in Tel Aviv. I am craving that energy of Israel as well as the 24/7 time spent with my family (yep, that’s right) and the two-week vacation I’m so ready for.

Before I go, I’ve been wanting to post some photos from the Stulberg family session (i.e., my sister’s in-laws, although that sounds like they’re more removed from us than they are). We’ll be seeing them in Israel in a few days!

Warning – it’s a long one…

First, I cannot wait to squish this guy tomorrow:

E

and these three Tel Aviv-ians:

Jonah, E, and Dana

Grandparents Bubbie and Zadie with grandsons Nathan and E:

Bubbie, Nathan, E, and Zadie

And just Zadie with his boys (who appear to be annoyed by each other):

Zadie with E and Nathan

And check out Zadie with the boys at one and two weeks old.

And Bubbie:

And her photo with the newborns.

Ben and Nathan:

Jonah and E (in the I’m happy! Hand – must – go – in mouth pose.)

And E loving Uncle J’s Sox hat (which is coming with us to Israel):

Some love from Uncle Ben (hee – love that E has an Uncle Ben and an Uncle Sam):

A snuggle from Bubbie:

And lastly, because I want in on the love, I’m reposting this shot of me and E:

Next post will be from Tel Aviv!

I think it’s a combination of the black and white and my subjects that inspired me in working with Alexander’s photos. As I mentioned in the preview, Christina loves black and white photography. I rarely get to use black and white so much in sessions with little ones, but it added a dimension that I love… I feel that their images are a journalistic snapshot of their lives together. Not that color photos don’t document moments beautifully, but black and white just manages to tell a story really well – without any distractions. I had fun with the license Christina gave me to go with it for almost all of their photos. Also, both Christina and Brad had ideas of some shots they wanted – and they were flexible to let me guide them as well. Of course, some smiles from Alexander and parental smooches never hurt a photo session, either.

I thought Alexander had some sweet moments alone with his parents, so I created a collection for each:

Alexander and Christina:

Some of the family and just the little guy:

And my favorite family shot of the session:

Alexander

Lastly, I found this shot I took of him with E when they were brand new peanuts. At the time, the 2-week age gap seemed so huge… I think they both look very different from their newborn selves but still, of course, ridiculously edible. (I don’t think E even registered that Alexander was right in front of his face. Now he grabs at Alexander and tries to eat him.) 🙂
