Happy, happy (day late) 4th birthday to my favorite little man… This violin-playing (learning), lemonade-stand-obsessed, goofy boy…

…this acrobat-wanna-be, this super sweet kid with a killer smile (especially when someone mentions candy)…

…this incredible (loving, concerned, caring, bossy, protective, entertaining) big cousin to our T…

…and now this new role, big brother to beautiful, tiny Maya Isabelle, who made her entrance yesterday, E’s 4th birthday…

Happy birthday, Zevvy – and happy birth-day, Maya!! ♥

Wishing the happiest first birthday to one of my favorite little guys on the planet…
To this sweet, handsome, loving, smart, snuggly one-year-old, thank you for brightening our world for this last year – and for cheering T on as she took some of her first steps! 😉 Such a good friend already.

Here he is looking super scrumptious at just six days old:

Congratulations to Erin & Larry on one full year of being the most wonderful parents to one of the cutest boys to ever be born. ♥

Happy second Father’s Day to my wonderful husband and T’s favorite man in the world…

…and to this loving Saba, my dad, who would do anything for his family…

…to Big Lou/Grampy, who needs a more recent photo with his granddaughter and who has worked insanely hard as a dad of six…

…to T’s Uncle Jonah, the father of the baby boy (who is almost four now… weeping) who made my heart burst the day he was born and continues to do so on a daily basis…

…to the hard-working, loving, bear-hugging dads I’m lucky enough to call friends and clients…

…and of course every single dad out there…
Happy, happy Father’s Day. Hope it’s wonderful and filled with reminders of how much your peanuts love you.

William, at exactly one week old, was a pretty perfect newborn model. He is such a handsome little man and slept his session away, letting us move him around from blankets to arms to… a zebra! 🙂

His four-legged big brother Max looking over him melts my heart…

Congratulations to Sarah and Angus on your absolutely adorable baby boy!

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!
…First, to the woman I’m lucky enough to call my mama and who is now one of my daughter’s very favorite people on the planet…

…and to my sister and quite likely the best mom there ever was (not biased at all, but seriously, just ask E, whose only complaint may be that he would like to have more candy as part of his regular diet)…

…to T’s Gram, the lady who created my husband (and five others, holy cow!)…

…to my girl, who made me a mama these last 14 months…

…and to the lovely mothers I get to call clients…

…and to every other mother I know and don’t…
Happy, happy Mother’s Day. I hope you get to sleep a little extra, lift your feet up for a few minutes, and get lots and lots of loving, giant cuddles.

I could work with newborns exclusively and be a happy photographer. I do love seeing the little ones as they grow, capturing family dynamics, meeting couples as they celebrate their 50th anniversaries, but brand-new babies and their euphoric, totally-in-love parents… awesome.
And this particular newborn already had me reeled in, as his parents are very good friends of ours. So, congratulations to Errol and Angeline on your new addition, super-handsome, sweet, teeny-tiny Emmanuel. 🙂

And just two days before the little guy decided it was time to enter the outside world…

Lastly, I love this idea (that I saw done originally by Baby as Art of the singer Pink in People Magazine). I did it for myself and was so excited that Angeline wanted to go for it as well. I absolutely adore Emmanuel’s pose!

Oh. My. Goodness. Newborns are so delicious. Beautiful, five-day-old Mila was such a sweet little girl, cozily sleeping throughout almost our entire session. A perfect shoot back after a couple of months off. (Check out her parents in my current blog header, from their engagement photos.) Congratulations, Kali and Josh!

I’m pretty sure Lyla keeps getting more gorgeous every time I see her (She’s even beautiful when she pouts!)… and now she has a sweet, handsome little brother Graham to add to the family cuteness. 🙂









Congratulations, Lisa, Todd, & Lyla on the super handsome new addition!
