Time is flying by! Baby “J” is already 4 months old! He and his adorable big brother came to visit me today. They are both just too cute! I had so much fun with their session. Mom and I had been emailing about session ideas. She wanted to incorporate Valentine’s, teddy bears and Chinese New Year. Such fun and cute ideas and I think they came out great. Mom actually created many of the props like the cherry flower branches – those are actually all hand made paper blossoms. She also made some origami tulips – such talent! I still wonder when she has the time to this with two small children =) While this was definitely baby J’s session, big brother wasn’t going to be upstaged so he wanted to do some shots too, and yes he makes an adorable teddy bear as well! Thanks for coming to visit me and having fun with me today “L” family.
Meet baby “L”. He is little brother to big brother “L”. I had the pleasure of meeting this family earlier this spring for their maternity session. I love being able to meet and get to know my clients before their newborn session. It feels like friends coming to visit me, plus I get a feel for what their style is and can personalize their session more. We kept baby “L’s” session pretty simple. We wanted to get some classic shots and some similar shots that big brother had done for his newborn photos. The session went great with both the family shots and the newborn shots. Baby “L” slept like a champ and was so easy to work with. I would have loved to have kept him all day but alas big brother had enough and needed to get home to nap. Thank you so much mom and dad for trusting me with your sweet boys. I loved getting to work with you all!
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not!

I’ve been waiting to do this shot for a while now. Cassie from Perfectly Sweet Creations made this adorable hat for me. I’ve been working on the Truffala trees and just waiting for the right baby to come along. This handsome little fellow was more than happy to be my little Lorax for the day. Mom and dad told me they wanted at least one shot “a little different, weird or crazy”. I hope this satisfied it.

Sweet baby “L” came to visit me yesterday morning. I was working with a sweet mentoree who was down for Virginia for the day and I put out a casting call for a 6 month old to be our “model” for a session. “L” was the perfect model. She greeted us with those big, brown eyes and her beautiful smile. We kept the session really simple as I was teaching and going over camera settings at the same time. Mom and baby “L” were patient and so easy to work with. Thank you so much for coming to visit me, it was so nice to meet you both!
and that’s a wrap….
Meet sweet baby John. He surprised his mom and dad by coming almost 2 weeks early. Now at almost 2 weeks old he was the perfect little model today. He was bright eyed and alert for almost an hour for me, but once we got him sleeping he slept hard. We wanted to keep his shoot simple so I just focused on all of his sweet perfection. I got to use my new 35mm 1.4L lens for this shoot and I am in love with it. It may not be coming off of my camera for a long time! Thanks for making the drive down from Wake Forest to see me today. I hope it was worth your trip =)
This first shot is my favorite from the session. Too cute!
