What a beautiful Saturday morning!  Just a quick post to wish you all a wonderful weekend!   And to give you a little look at what’s coming soon on the blog!

Happy Weekend!

My dear friends Ashley and Ben were so excited for the arrival of their baby girl.  I knew from their sweet maternity session that they would be amazing parents.  I’ve never seen Ashley so happy.  And she’s mentioned to me countless times how much she adores her daughter.  She also says that being a mother is the best thing she’s ever experienced.  As for Ben, he is exactly the kind of husband and father Ashley would wish for.  His patient, gentle, laid back nature perfectly complements Ashley’s warm, outgoing, self-described “social butterfly” personality.  And together they surround their new little one with so much love and comfort.  Eden Krista, you already bring so much joy to your parents’ lives, and to all who have met you, including me.  In Hebrew, her name means paradise.  Her eyes are bright blue, just like her late Grandmother, Krista, for whom she was named.  I have no doubt in my mind that Krista is in paradise, smiling down on her new grand-daughter with love.  On to some sweet images from Eden Krista’s newborn session!  Friends and family are invited to visit Eden’s online gallery here. 

 This cute little number was hanging in the baby’s room…I cannot wait until she can wear this!

 
5 days new.

 That little pout!

 
Another favorite!

 

 

 

A year ago in May, I met her parents on a cloudy, spring afternoon.   They were expecting their first child, a sweet baby girl.  They wanted to have this time in their lives documented…to show how happy they were together as a couple, and how excited they were as this new chapter in their lives began to unfold.  As I mentioned when I blogged about their maternity session, there was something about Heather and Brian that  tugged at my heart.  I told them that day, that they were beautiful.  That they were glowing.  And I meant it.  Every word.  I’ve had the joy of watching their new little family blossom before my eyes.  Their little girl has also stolen my heart.  She is such a happy baby girl, and with good reason, for she has two wonderful parents who love her more than words can describe, more than numbers can measure.  I was honored when they asked me to document Emily Claire’s 1st birthday.  It was a perfect summer day with blue skies, smiling faces, and quite possibly the best cupcakes ever baked.   Heather, Brian, and Emily welcomed me into their home, not only as their photographer, but as a friend and invited guest.  Thank you so much for including me in this fun and special time in your lives.  You guys are absolutely wonderful!  And now for some of my favorite images from Emily’s 1st birthday bash!  Check out Emily’s sessions here, here, and here, and be prepared for lots of cuteness!

Emily, I hope you had the best 1st birthday!  You are surrounded with a loving family and tons of friends, and I’m so glad I got to be there to witness your special day!   Thank you so much!  See you soon!  xo

Just a quick post to wish you all a happy weekend!  And what better way to kick off a good weekend than with an adorable baby girl?  More to come soon!

Happy Friday!

A while ago, I posted some photos from Emily Claire’s 9 months session. She had that adorable bunny coat and those sparkling blue eyes.  She is such a little sweetheart!  I just love when I get to photograph her and her amazing parents, Heather and Brian.  I can’t believe Emily is almost 1!!!  Let’s take a look at some of my favorites from her most recent session, shall we?
