Baby Girl P

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting with Amanda (see her blog here) to help her and her husband celebrate their first baby.  Little Ms. P was only four days old when we took her photos and she was definitely spirited!  I had a great time working them all.  Welcome to the world, Sweet P!  :)

A Sweet Baby Boy - Mr. L

My best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby boy three weeks ago and I was more than thrilled to do their newborn photos for them.  I love all of my newborn shoots and each and every one of my clients, but these guys are like family to me and I had an amazing time spending the day and meeting their brand new little man, who was only 6 days old at the time.  Here are some of my many favorites from that day.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Maternity- Amanda

I love, love, love doing maternity sessions and this one was such a treat!  You just can't beat that excitement of a first-time mother as she nears her due date.  I will be photographing this little one by the end of the month and I can't wait!  I had such a hard time choosing, but here are just a few of my favorites from this fantastic shoot.  You can view more here: Amanda's Maternity Album.
