sunny delight.
i never shy away from talking about my love affair with the sun.
most of the photos on my blog - the ones that give me happy chills, make me jump up and down or squeal with excitement - involve some serious sunny delight in one way or another.
this session from yesterday is the epitome of why i love the way that the sun affects photographs. golden rays shining over a childs face, making his eyes sparkle and giving the world a glow that can only come from a creator who knew that life would be sweeter to look back on with sunshine to remember.
hope these photos bring some delight to your day...

winter stripes & little buddies
bosten tagged along with me for his best buddy - tucker's - christmas photo shoot! i have to say that i wish i had a picture of myself, for once, during this session. bosten woke up a few minutes before he was supposed to eat so i stuck him in a baby sling & wore him while i took photos of tucker with his mama & daddy. also, grey, the family pup was in on some of the shots so i was shooting one-handed, baby in tow & tennis ball in the other hand trying to get grey to sit still. we kept laughing at how ridiculous it was & how much life has changed in the last month.
needless to say, if you are a client, i won't be bringing my baby to your photo shoot :)
signature smitten kiss:
he looks like a baby candy cane. i'd take a big bite out of those cheeks:
love the baby yawn & the new velvet couch that made for a perfect backdrop:

those precious lips...
babies, babies, everywhere!
i have been wanting to post this photo session i had with baby tucker after his first couple days at home - but, i have been a little busy with the impending arrival of my little guido! so, without further delay, here are some of my favorites from tucker's first days at home with his mama & daddy:
its as if he's saying, "ta-da," here i am!

lips, tiny nose dots & miniature eye lashes are what i love about this:

sweet baby boy!

welcome, tucker!
yesterday morning was such a special day! my sweet friend, nicole, delivered her first baby - a BOY - and i was so excited to be in the waiting room with her parents when the nurse came in & announced that he had arrived into the world! brad & nicole didn't know what they were having so it was SO fun to see brad walk out of the room holding that sweet bundle & we all cried when he said it was a boy!!
i'm so proud of nicole - she endured labor and delivery like a champ :) this is especially fun since in two and a half weeks or less, i'll be welcoming a baby boy & we know these two are going to be best buddies!
enjoy some precious photos taken just minutes after tucker was born 7 lbs 8 oz....
proud daddy, introducing the new baby!
he's here!
i love how new & real these photos are - taken in the delivery room
first grand baby:
looking at this new life with wonder:
he was so peaceful
i LOVVVE new baby shiny eyes:
love this - a phone in each hand sharing the news with friends and family!
new family of three!
probably my favorite photo of the day:
click on this to see the bigger image - the bracelet reads BOY - so exciting after the months of anticipation:

tiny toes in mama's hand:
there are few moments when you can take in the reality of bringing a new life into the world - if you would like to schedule a deliver me session to have these first minutes captured in photographs - email

tasty fingers & sparkly blue eyes...
little abby was a sweet munchkin that braved the first wind gusts that fall has offered us this year! she stood so confidently as a 15 month old who just learned to walk about a week ago - and she sucked her fingers {one of my personal favorite photo makers} for lots of our shots! here are some favorites of little a:
i love the light & color in this one:
these next two are such happy faces:
love this close up & her eyes:
cue the perfect chair and the perfect light:
a strong favorite:
i really love the close ups of abby:
