Charlotte

Just a 24 more hours until we board on our plane, still no suitcases packed, but here I am in front of my computer… it’s addicting, I love what I do. It’s the most satisfying feeling to edit a file into a beautiful image on my screen, and then such a reward to share them on my blog. Isn’t she lovely? Just so peaceful. I’ve used a couple of my new hats and “wraps”, and am delighted with the way they turned out. Can you tell I’m all bubbly with excitement and joy to go home for Christmas?
On with the images, before I start babbling about my heaven on earth…

Charlotte had no interest for a pacifier, but just started finding her thumb. I think it’s so cute the way she covers her face with her hand.

She has the most beautiful full lips, but then of course when you see her parents, it’s pretty obvious she had to be gorgeous.

That little dimple in her elbow… sweeet

An angel passing,

Jennifer and Cameron, I had such a good time photographing your precious little one, thank you for trusting me. It was a pleasure to meet you and I think you’ll be happy with this last picture. I’m glad we gave it one more try… it was worth the effort!

    Beautiful! Delicate, yet daring. So innocent. This kind of artistry and talent is not an acquired skill, but a gift--something of a rarity these days. Your work is captivating, and you seem to have capture the fragility of life, yet depict the resilience of it, too. And make it look effortless to boot! Nothing short of breath-taking. Thank you for sharing.

    Love the pics, especially the ones where you can see Jen and Cam's faces, and the one where she is laying in somebody's lap.

    Arielle,
    You did such a fantastic job for us. You fit us in on a moments notice and then rushed to get the pictures to us before your trip to France. The fact that you brought us back for a second sitting because you weren't able to get that one special shot, you certainly went above and beyond for us. We couldn't be happier with your work. You have such a great way with babies and parents too! The patience you show and the eye you have for detail makes the whole experience so great. Thanks Arielle. You really are one of a kind.

    Arielle, thank you again so much for getting the photo's to us before your trip! Again, we had the best time doing CJ's first shoot, and I am so glad that I made myself take her out. She has already changed so much and these shots capture that new baby innocence and beauty. You made us totally comfortable and have a special gift when dealing with babies. Though, I enjoy all of your photography! Thanks again, Merry Christmas!

    Once again, Arielle, you have done an amazing job! How on Earth do you get such a wide variety of poses for one newborn session? Do you stay with the couple for a weekend?;)
