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. ;)
Whew! 27 sessions over 4 weeks. I was blessed working with such amazing families during one of the most beautiful times of the year. Granted, the scenery is gorgeous, but put once you add in some well-dressed and adorable kids? Ah, it’s a recipe for beautiful portraits!
Here’s a peek; one from each session. (And believe it or not, I’m shooting one more this week, so I’ll just have to add his in later this upcoming week. ;)
Thanks so very much to everyone!

I’ve been really lucky this year to photograph so many twins (and a set of triplets, too!)–I think these sweet little guys may have been my sixth set this year, but my first set of identicals. I’m not sure Joe and me are parents who are cut out to be parents of multiples (especially if we had two Isaacs–oy!), but I sure do love working with twins and imagining how awesome it would be to grow up with a buddy who shares your same great looks and the same age. What a cool thing that would be.
We all know how much I love color, but I couldn’t resist how amazingly beautiful and these two look sisters look in black and white. Aren’t they stunning?
Two weeks doesn’t mean much to most of us. It’s a rather short and mostly insignificant period of time. Yet, for Maggie, she owes her very existence to two weeks: Born at 26 weeks’ gestation, if Maggie would have arrived two weeks earlier, she probably wouldn’t have been able to survive, much less thrive and grow into the strong, beautiful 14 month old she is today.
Truly, a Miraculous Maggie. :)
Really, I can’t imagine having three kids under the age of three–and all of them boys to boot! I have a feeling they will all be the best of friends growing up, but in the meantime, I’m sure you may want to pass along the coffee (and probably a sprinkle of patience) to their blessed parents!
Congrats, guys! Welcome Griffin (in stripes) and Owen (in stars).
Granted, she was born decades after the song came out (and it’s not spelled quite the same), but she is just one of the sweetest little girls I’ve ever worked with (and a ham to boot!)
At only 10 months old, sweet and adorable Evan is quite capable of outrunning both his parents already! What a busy toddlerhood they’re going to have with him, I think!
Sadly, his nose was also on the run–poor little guy woke up this morning with a summer cold, which kept his parents quite busy with the tissues during the session. Here’s to hoping he’s feeling much better soon!

…(no offense to you Elton John lovers), but can you feel the love?
You know those moments where you just get so completely overwhelmed by this amazing love for your child. Those moments where you feel like your heart just could not fit anymore love into it and it might just burst into a million little pieces if one single extra little drop of love would enter it. I think this may have been one of those moments, and I think little Ruby just knows it.
