  • Baby as Art workshop

  • 2 weeks ago I treated myself to a wonderful workshop, from the Baby as Art team, Carrie Sandoval and Brittany Woodall. It was a very short workshop, 2 days in all, limited to only 6 attendees (so so nice compare to the big groups of 20-30 attending wedding photography workshops). I have been a huge fan of their work for a while and was so excited to found out they were willing to share their skills. I love going to workshops, they're very intense, I always meet wonderful people (who all share [...]
  • Noah

  • Not quite a year ago, Dorene and I were photographing Michelle and André's wedding. They left the reception under sparkles, in a big limo, with huge smiles on their faces, promising their friends and family a baby was next on their agenda... And here is Noah! It was already such an honor and a pleasure to witness André and Michelle's vows of love for eternity, and now it filled me joy to watch them care for their adorable baby. It's always a wonder to be able to recognize parents features in [...]
  • Eamon

  • Eamon, starting his second week out of mom's belly, an angel through out the session. A pleasure to hold and snuggle with. I've also so enjoyed meeting his mom, Elizabeth, a doula. I wish I had her around when I delivered my babies, she is so relaxed, soothing (no wonder her little boy was so easy going), and knows her business like no other. She had her three boys at home, this last one in just 2 hours! The home delivery sounds like the ultimate birthing experience, especially if handled b [...]
  • Dylan

  • I'm still practicing a few new poses. I really like the "hammock" image, little Dylan looks so relax. For these I was lucky to find a new willing mom, Sam, to let me play with her sweet baby, Dylan. He's already 4 weeks old and a bundle of love, I must admit that I loved holding him. Coco is supposed to be my baby substitute, and she does a great job but it just isn't the same... Jessie, one of my wonderful baby sitter/friend was with us and helping me that day. Thank you for introducing m [...]
  • Nora

  • A couple of weeks ago, little Nora made her great entrance into our world. Her parents awaited her arrival anxiously. At the hospital, Randy, her father, kept friends and family updated on the delivery's progress with frequent facebook entries. A little over a year ago, Randy and Sharon were in the same hospital wing, excited to welcome their first newborn, Noah. But instead of the joyful calls to announce their son's birth, they had to deliver the tragic news of his passing to their loved on [...]
  • William

  • I'm so happy to present William. He's just 18 days old on these pictures and already 10.5 pounds!!! His parents are good friends of mine. His dad, Tim Ludvigsen, is a wonderful photographer in the area. I love it when they come for a visit, I get to hold cuddly little William. Today he turns 6 weeks, has grown a lot, is very alert, and loves to have a conversation. Tim and Terry both have these amazing blue eyes, I would say there is a fair chance William will have "le regard qui [...]
  • double blessing

  • I love photographing twins, and I so wish I had been around when these two sweeties were born. They came to the world on July 15th and I took these pictures when they were just a week shy of being two months old. It was my longest session ever, but definitely worth it. Sawyer is right at 10 pounds, and miss Lily a little over 8 pounds. Lily is on the left and Sawyer on the right in the next picture. I usually prefer to edit newborn photography in black and white, but I t [...]
  • Parker

  • Parker was born on April 20th and was 2 months old on these pictures. A couple years ago, I photographed his older brother, Austin, as a surprise gift for their mother, Michelle. This time I met Michelle, who looked lovely and blissful holding her baby. The sun wasn't very cooperative that day and Parker didn't care much for all my posing concepts, but we still managed to get a few tender moments. Michelle and Scott, thank you again for trusting me to capture this very special time in your l [...]
  • Elizabeth

  • Meet sweet Elizabeth, 8 weeks old. We got really lucky and she fell asleep for a little while during the session, allowing us a few favorite poses. She has a head full of hair, and plenty of volume! At 2 months, she's starting to have some cute baby roundness, with those adorable little rolls and dimples... Just chilling, I love dimples! I hope her dad won't be upset with me for showing this picture, but it makes me want to reach into my screen and just squeeze that little de [...]
  • Jackson

  • Be prepared, this is a long post. This little guy was just too cute. It was a real challenge for me to pick my favorites. Jackson's mom called me to schedule a session a while back and I advised we wait till he could sit on his own. I'm so glad we waited, at this stage there is so much more I can do as far as poses. Coming from a family of strictly brown eyes, I just melt when I see blue eyes(I'll take green too), and this little boy definitely has striking shade of blue eyes! Jill and PJ, [...]
  • Luciana

  • Last week, I drove to Mary Esther to meet this wonderful family and photograph their 8 days old little girl. I had, as always, the best of time playing with a newborn, and miss Lucy was the sweetest model. We went through many poses without much trouble. However, it is no surprise this little princess is so gentle. Her parents, Kellen and Kimberly are adorable, and already so loving and caring for their precious little one. Kellen is a pilot in the Air Force, soon to return for his eleventh [...]
  • Molly and Liam

  • This adorable set of twins was just a day shy of being 6 months old, when I came to photograph. They were just beautiful, and once more I was very impressed by their mother, Heather, who is so organized and keeps her house so tidy. Their aunt Michelle was in town visiting, and a welcome extra set of hands during our session. They already have a nice nap routine, I was just in after their morning rest and between lunch, Molly was exhausted by the time I left and had started her afternoon nap. [...]
