Wow! I am really becoming fond of doing family sessions in an urban setting. And working with a family like this makes it even more awesome. So sweet and gorgeous to photograph. Whatsmore, we had some amazing light that night. And to make it even better…we finished shooting in under an hour…whoo hoo! I may have gotten a little carried away with the number of images on this blog post…but I couldn’t help it. Thank you Ellis family – I hope we can work together again in the future!
XO,

Watching these little peanuts grow from tiny newborns, to playful almost one year olds has been a real privilege! I may have done a tiny happy dance when their mom told me she wanted to do a cake smash session. What is more fun then watching babies dig into their first cake…getting to see two of them do it at the same time! Before the cake came out we did have a chance to get some beautiful, playful shots of the two of them together, by themselves and even a couple with mom and dad! Thanks for a great afternoon Jim and Robyn!
One of my favorite parts of newborn sessions are meeting first time parents at the studio. The love and care they show for their newbie is unlike anything else I see at my job! Robyn and Danny were such a joy to work with. And can we just talk about baby Alana’s AMAZING hair!!! She was such a gorgeous newborn! Just an amazing session. Thanks Hernandez family! XO
It is pretty special to do a newborn session after you have met the parents during their maternity photos. I was really looking forward to meeting baby Andrew for the first time. And he didn’t disappoint! He wa THE best poser! So curly and calm throughout! And check out that tool box. Daddy wanted some pictures taken with Andrew inside since he works with tools. I think it turned out pretty cute.
Cake smashes are always guranteed to put a smile on my face. I love working with one-year olds and then add in a cake….YAHTZEE! I love how each baby is different in they way they react to the cake. Jayden was such a little model in front of the camera. Although he didn’t much care for eating the cake, he was a little ham and had smiles galore! I think we wrapped this entire session in 20 minutes…world record!
This session has been months in the making! I received an inquiry from Crystal just before Christmas last year about getting a gift certificate for her parents 40th wedding anniversary! Her and her siblings wanted to go in on the gift and surprise their mom and dad with it. Isn’t that sweet? Such a great gift idea. Months later we scheduled the session for March and here we are. Four familes consisting of 15 people is a lot to organize, but this family was so accomodating and fun that it made my job fairly easy. I love working with extended families and have my work flow down to a “T” these days. Thanks Rivera families for such a great sunset session!
It was so fun getting to work with this little guy again. The last time I saw him he was a tiny newborn. And here he is now, 6 months old and so full of personality and cuteness!
