I met this wonderful family just a year ago for a family session, and we hit it off right away and had so much fun on a perfect summer evening.  This time Cristina, Todd, Jack, and I met up bright and early to beat the summer heat and humidity.  And we had another perfect session!  I absolutely love seeing how kids grow and change, and catching up with clients and how they are doing since our last session.  Jack is going on 6 years old, and told me how excited he was to start school.  He is incredibly athletic and energetic…not to mention incredibly adorable!  This family has the most beautiful blue eyes and wonderful smiles.  They even brought their two basset hounds, Sophie and Jackson!   Cristina, Todd, and Jack, thank you so much for spending your morning with me!  You are such a wonderful, warm, and fun family!  Let’s take a look at some of my favorites from their session!  Friends and family, check out their online gallery here!

Jack knows how to work the camera.  Seriously cute!
Those blue eyes!   Jack, all the girls will be chasing you at recess!

I love this one!  

 And this one! 
 Who needs coffee in the morning when you have Jack?  
He had us cracking up with his funny faces and acrobatics!

And then…BAM!  He’s ready for his magazine cover shoot.

I love the feeling of this image: 
summertime, a carefree boy and his best friend, warm sunshine, adventure, happy-go-lucky. 

 Sophie and Jackson, you are both sweethearts!  
These two pups were so well-behaved, and they rather enjoyed being photographed!

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

Hello, Eden Krista!  You are so precious!

Eden’s room is full of pinks and browns and cute little animals.

And she has quite a shoe collection!  I love those pink ruffled boots embellished with crystals!

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

Ashley and Ben, thank you so much for letting me share in Eden’s first few days of life in this world!  She is so sweet, so perfect, so beautiful.  Congratulations!!!  Can’t wait to see you again soon!

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, you are completely adorable!  Favorites!

The perfect cupcake for the perfect Birthday Girl!

 After a wonderfully delicious lunch prepared by Heather’s Mom, it was time for Emily to open some gifts!

First cell phone!  A must for every girl!  Call me, Em, ‘k? 😉

A quick game of peek-a-boo!

And la piece de resistance!  Emily’s gift from her Mom and Dad.  Love it!

Emily’s super cute cousins!  ðŸ™‚

Happy Birthday, Emily!

Then it was time for Emily’s 1st birthday cupcake!

It took a bit of encouragement…

…and some cheers from the crowd…
Then she was ready to dive in!

Another favorite!  Sweet little fingers covered in yummy icing and purple sprinkles!

Don’t you just love those blue eyes?  

Another favorite!

Adorable with a capital A.  So cute!

Enjoying homemade ice cream!

All the kids had yet another treat waiting for them – a cupcake pinata filled with candy!  
A perfect end to a perfect party!

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
