FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES
I had a wonderful time during this newborn session from the moment I first walked into their condo. Instantly, I knew that this will be a fun photo session. Their daughter Gabriela is the sweetest and most adorable little girl. She was amazing during the entire shoot. Just a day earlier baby Gabriela had her first birthday party. Leftover balloons were a perfect prop for some of the shots. Enjoy!

Another amazing newborn baby session and this time with the cutest and sleepiest baby yet. I had a wonderful time during this session and I can not be more happy with the result. We got so many sleepy shots and beautiful lifestyle portraits which also included a very patient golden retriever, Rockne.
I was slightly worried as I pulled up to my client's home. The day was cloudy and their condo was on the first floor of the building. As I walked in, it was quite dark but I saw a beautiful window in the front room and instantly knew I can work with it. The natural light was perfect, soft and had a wonderful glow. It was one of the easiest newborn sessions I ever had. Baby William slept through it all. I love the blue hat which baby William's mom knitted and the beautiful quilt which was also handmade. Items that hold meaning are always welcome. They make the session that much more special.
Honestly, it is difficult to pick out my favorite image from this session with so many beautiful pictures. However, one of the best images caught me by surprise. After the session concluded and I was walking to my car, I turned around and saw the family in the window. Rockne, the dog was there too. This was a wonderful moment. I pulled out my camera and captured it. It was a perfect ending to a perfect session.
Meet William, only six days new.
FLEETING MOMENTS | PRECIOUS MEMORIES
How sweet is this little boy. I enjoyed photographing him and his parents at their lovely home. This happens to be my neck of the woods and it was so great to do the eight minute walk over to their building. Baby Harry is a cutie. His clear blue eyes, huge smile and playful nature won me over. I enjoyed every minute of this photo session. We had a first during this session too, while sitting baby Harry managed to put his footsies into his mouth. What a discovery!!!
This was baby Harry's first professional shoot and I must say it could not have gone any better. We chose to do it inside because it's January and it is so cold outside. Also, I prefer for this age (5 months) to stay inside. I find that most babies feel very comfortable at home and it's usually where I get the most smiles. At home is also where I capture the most intimate and real interaction between baby and parents. Within an hour or so, we got so many beautiful images. It was hard to narrow down and pick out these highlights.
My favorite image from this session is the one I took candidly of the family in the bathroom (the last one down). The shadows and light worked just perfectly and it all came together in one click. I also caught their reflection in the mirror. This is what we photographers refer to as the decisive moment. The image is beautiful and real.
