This beautiful belly belongs to one of the dearest friends I've ever known! She's the one I can call at ANY time of day or night (although the reception is much warmer if precious sleep is left undisturbed) with ANY silly question, story, worry or just to vent. She'll always tell it to me straight - even when it's not what I want to hear. On the flip-side, she's the QUEEN of justification and will most definitely (and sometimes most creatively) validate my every whim! Our conversations might make most people's heads spin, they go in so many directions, but we never miss a beat. A day just doesn't feel complete unless we've talked at least once (and usually more). Simply put, we just "get" each other! We have shared every BIG moment of our adult lives together and I know that's how it will always be.....
This is something I've been dying to try for awhile now....and I just LOVE how it turned out!
I'm so happy for you Emme! Enjoy every last minute of this time.......
Love you, hb.

Seriously, have you ever seen such amazing hair on a newborn? It was THE softest thing I've ever felt too!
This is sweet baby "C" at 12 days old. She was Sooooo....good for me! I had a wonderful time photographing her in her beautiful home! I love so many of the photos from her session that it was very hard for me to choose just a couple to share for the sneak peek. I don't want to ruin the excitement of seeing all of the images for mom and dad though....so I may have to come back and share a few more later :-)
Congratulations "S" and "J" - She's beautiful! Enjoy the sneak peek .......

I titled this blog post "inspiration" because that is exactly what this adorable little girl is to me! Every once in awhile I spot a child that just captures my heart instantly. Beautiful "L" did just that - she captured my heart and I knew I had to photograph her! I was so excited when we were finally able to get together for a little fun in the park! Thank you "L" for being such a great little model! Enjoy the sneak peek mom and dad!

Newborn sessions are a total baby fix for me! I get to hold them and smell them and soothe them....and then I get to go home and enjoy a FULL night of sleep! It's perfect :-)
I do have to admit that I miss those newborn days though. There is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch on a rainy afternoon and taking a little snooze with a newborn on your chest. Ahhhh....I would give just about anything to go back in time and relive one of those days!
I really enjoyed my time with this not-so-little guy yesterday! He is 10 1/2 pounds of pure sweetness!
Enjoy the sneak peek "D" family.....congratulations, he's beautiful!

(05.05.09 @ 08:00 PM)Omg, look at the milk blisters on his lips. So very sweet. Everything about him is so dear and perfectly captured.
(05.05.09 @ 09:08 PM)Oh my goodness! What a sweet "little" baby! I love everything about these, the smile, the baby parts, the one with mommy! Too much baby fever for me, these are beyond beautiful.
(05.08.09 @ 07:03 PM)
I am SO excited to share this session! When a long-time friend of mine contacted me about photographing her family I was thrilled. I immediately began looking for the perfect location...and look at what I found (insert squeal of excitement here)!
Sometimes the stars align: the perfect location, beautiful well-behaved children, great outfits carefully chosen by mom, a warm spring day and ...... MAGIC happens!
Just look at this beautiful family! Thank you "H" family for a super fun session! Enjoy your sneak peek!

The same goes back to you girlfriend! - But you also have the amazing ability to make me look beautiful in a photo - which is no easy task! Stop trying to make me cry - you know how I get when pregnant!
