Saturday, March 6, 2010 Posted in maternity & newborns

At 8 days old, Eli Henry (a future poet, his mother and I agree) reminded me of the chorus of a certain (somewhat annoying) Aerosmith song, “I don’t want to miss a thing.”

We spent a good majority of the day trying to lull Eli into a nice deep sleep to pose him for his portraits, but the moment we’d carefully start unwrapping him from a swaddled blanket, he’d wake up. The little guy just loved being swaddled, and was certainly very modest about being naked, as his parents warned me the moment he arrived at the studio. He’s definitely a little guy who takes after my own heart with a love of being cozy, snuggly and warm.

Still, I was thrilled to get as many cute awake pictures. Eight day olds are not usually very good at making eye contact with the camera, and often their eyes are crossed or staring out into space, but since Eli has already mastered the art of alertness, he certainly never wanted to miss a moment.

Congrats Bevin & Todd, and many, many thanks for sharing your beautiful son with me!

(he) gave me fever | reading and berks county baby and children’s photographer

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Posted in babies, families, kids

With the hubby turning 40 this Saturday and our family having quite a full plate of life, the baby factory here is now closed. Even though I always yearned for four kids, just a few weeks ago, I did finally slowly start to part with all of the baby things that I’ve accumulated through the years, and I have surprised myself by feeling at peace with the finality of us being a family of five.

And then a smiley, happy, gurgly, charming, beautiful, blue-eyed 4-month old baby came to the studio.

And now, parting with those cute little roll top (dry rotting) baby socks is starting to feel not so cleansing anymore.

His sister I’ve photographed before and is always one of my favorite little girls. Now, she’s an amazing big sister:

Thanks again, guys! (And next time you need a sitter, you know who to call. ;)

snow session | reading and berks county family photographer

Thursday, February 25, 2010 Posted in families, kids

Have I told you before how much I hate winter? No? Let’s put it this way, while 90% of everyone I know is thrilled when October rolls around on the calendar, I get into a funk because I know that days with open windows and short sleeves and shorts are over. I’d make a wonderful Floridian, I just can’t stand winter that much. So, this year, I surprised myself this year by putting out a call for snow sessions, because, even though I do hate the white stuff, I do have to admit that it does make absolutely gorgeous scenery. I may actually love it more than fall leaves at the end of October.

The best part of all about the cold? It sure does make kids snuggle in closer to their parents.

Thanks for an awesome session, Heather & Greg. Love you guys! xox

reed | montgomery county & pennsylvania newborn photographer

Sunday, February 14, 2010 Posted in maternity & newborns

How fitting on Valentine’s Day, this sweet little baby came into my studio with the cutest, heart-shaped lips? Always one for a few macro (magnified close up) shots of baby parts, I couldn’t resist taking a few images of his lips. See the heart?

No? How about if I flip and outline it a bit?

Now that everyone thinks I’m sufficiently crazy, we’ll just get onto the regular sneak peek of baby Reed, who definitely stole a little of my heart today.

Congratulations and thanks again, Jen & Dan. I am sure your beautiful son and family have made your hearts quite full this Valentine’s Day.

I must admit, there’s nothing quite like a baby with a full head of hair to make my heart skip a few beats. My daughter had a crazy head of hair when she was first born (still does), and while I hate making a big deal out “all of that hair!” (since I am sure that his parents will hear this more than anything else all throughout his babyhood), I must admit that it seemed almost a shame to put the cute bear hat on him, hiding his gorgeous locks.

Congrats again, Melissa & John on your gorgeous son!

josh turns 7 | pennsylvania children’s photographer

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 Posted in kids, myriads

Every February 8th, I spend a little extra time cuddling my middle child at night before he goes to bed, and I make him promise to me–swear to me–that this will be his last birthday. And every February 9th, he bounds out of bed and stands in front of me with a huge smile on his face, looking a little older and a little taller, and giggles, “sorry!”

So here’s to hoping that we’ll figure out a way to make him stop at 7, because I sure do love him just as he is. :)

tom hubric, president of reading-berks human resources management | pennsylvania corporate headshots photographer

Tuesday, January 26, 2010 Posted in headshots

For a nice change of pace, today I photographed Tom Hubric, who is the president of Reading-Berks Human Resources Management. He is in the process of updating his company’s website and needed a snazzy new photo to go along with his newly-designed (soon-to-be-unveiled) website.

I’m not sure how many of my readers need Human Resources management services, but Tom’s a great guy with an equally awesome family, and it was a treat to chat with and photograph him today. I wish him all the best as the new site goes live!

Here are a few from our session today. (Breaking free from the typical suit-on-background style shots…)

ella | reading and berks county newborn photographer

Monday, January 18, 2010 Posted in maternity & newborns

Perhaps one of the most rewarding aspects of my job is receiving a call from a client I’ve worked with in the past and hearing, “We’re expecting again!” I have adored working with this family in the past for both a newborn and a 9-month session, so it was a wonderful treat to meet their latest addition, a beautiful (and-oh-so-mellow) baby girl named Ella. They have been so truly blessed with their beautiful girls, but I also think their girls are blessed to have parents as amazing as they are. :)
