UPDATE: I will be traveling till August 23rd, 2010. I will be available via phone and email for my current and prospect clients.

I am such a sucker for gorgeous babies, and this little princess melted my heart at first glance. Just look at her hair! Oh, forget the hair – look at the smile! Laila was the smiliest (is that even a word?) newborn I have ever met. She also was my shortest session to date – she slept like a champ! We started with a few images outside, and finished our session with a major blowout on mommy – a girl gotta go when a girl gotta go

Just a few of this smilie girl. Thank you for sharing your princess with me, M. Family.

I always always try to get at least a shot or two of something very personal and private for each newborn I photograph. With Laila, we used monogrammed blanket and this beautiful lamb – doesn’t she look like Potery Barn Kids model? Love it!

Baby Rich was stubborn. His due date came and passed, and he was still happily baking inside

And if you look at the mom – can you tell she had the baby??? She is wearing exactly the same outfit as in her maternity session, except that 7 days after delivery she was able to zip up her skirt! Some people are just blessed, I am telling ya!

Their order included all digital images that come on CD in a beautiful image box custom made for each client.

Not a secret, I love newborns. I adore their freshness, pureness, innocence. I love watching their jerky moves and fragile bodies to curl back into fetus position. They just melt my heart. I also enjoy watching brand new parents who are absolutely smitten by this new life they’ve created together. It’s an amazing feeling to be invited into families at their most private and special moments.

I also love to team up with another great photographer and let the team work push us further, higher. It is always fun to have an extra set of hands and a mind that knows what I am about to say or do without me even saying it out loud. All the greatest newborn photographers work in teams, not that I am comparing Julie and I to any of them. But I definitely see the benefit of having a teammate. And as soon as we start thinking how newborns are getting easier for us to photograph, we get that ONE baby that tests our patience and push us to the limits. This time it was not one, but two that did it. Two beautiful baby boys, first set of twins on both side of the family and nobody knows how that happened. They were taking turns for sleeping, eating, crying, peeing.. But at the end, we had a wonderful session and images that parents will treasure forever.

Here are just a few of Jacob and Landen from our 4 hour session. Followed by another 4 hours of Twilight on DVD bliss late into the night

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend of celebrations and fireworks. Happy 234th Birthday, America!

Presenting Ethan. I knew about his arrival from the beginning of the year. It was long waited and anticipated. Ethan’s older sister and brother were one of my very first clients – their parents trusted me even when I was not sure if I should be trusted

It was so much fun photographing Ethan – he already has so much personality, and was not shy to show it. Smiles, snarls, yawns – we captured it all. He fits perfectly in his fun family, I can already see it.

It’s been stir crazy busy around here. And my blog is somewhat ignored. Desperately trying to catch up!

The morning was super hot and humid when I met this new bundle of joy. But it was just perfect for a newborn session, so I never made it into their house – we set up right on the front porch. It was a great session – Arlo slept through the whole thing, I guess he did not care to meet me :d Even when we decided to shoot a few awake shots, it was a challenge to keep him up- he was that sleepy!

It was a lot of fun hanging out with you guys. Arlo is just the sweetest most perfect little man. Congratulations!

It was a hot and muggy spring afternoon in Triangle area, when I met Meredith Grace. She was perfection! With ten tiny toes, and ten perfect fingers, and flawless newborn skin, and those big beautiful eyes. She was adorable! I always enjoy my time in a hot room with a fresh baby, and this time was no exception. I was completely in awe with Meredith. And just look at her parents – she got them wrapped around her finger before she knew it, well, and before they knew it too

Congratulations guys, it was a great honor. And I will see you later this week!
