- I took these pictures at the beginning of the summer and then went to visit my family, forgetting to post them. This is by far one of my very favorite families! I photographed Jenni pregnant, then sweet little Finley, this past spring it was Sandra expecting and finally Milo. The love and kindness these 4 have for one another is heartwarming and I felt very fortunate to stock some of it in images. They surprised me right before my departure for France with a very special gift. A handmade gi [...]

- What a beautiful little family! I'm partial to them because I love these babies' grandmother, my friend Libby, Lovey. It is so weird to now find myself in the group of the older generation, reminiscing of these new parents when not so long ago they were just children themselves.
I am in awe of Mary Alex, who seems to bear babies effortless, and just 3 weeks after birth is sporting a flatter tummy than I ever dreamed of having! Who is also full of patience, just a very graceful mother:)

- Meet sweet Little Lily!
The summers are for me to return to France and spend time with my family. It also means I am gone for quite a while and I've missed little clients while I'm away. I'm so glad and honored that Lily's parents were determined for me to photograph their little baby, even if it meant having Lily's session a little later than recommended. The typical "ideal" time to photograph a newborn is within 2 weeks after birth (especially with full term babies like Lily). The earlies [...]

- November 2017, when I first met Dallas, fresh new to the world, it just seems like yesterday. 7 months have gone tho and little Dallas isn't so little anymore. She's sitting on her own, about to crawl around and have her parents chasing her around! But right now, she's just at that ideal stage for an other session, often referred as a "sitter session", so many cute picture opportunities, all those adorable little fat rolls... Despite being a little nervous, she did great and we have plenty o [...]

- It is truly an honor to photograph a new baby shortly after their entrance into our world. Melanie told me I was one of the very few people who had held her daughter, Meliana. It's hard right after birth to trust a complete stranger to hold and position your baby in odd props, this new baby means the world to you, and curiously we turn into mother bear right as she/he takes his first breath. That's one of the reasons I always encourage potential clients to come meet me prior to their session, [...]

- This past year when a potential client reaches out to me asking about my newborn photography, I have started recommending that we meet first in my studio. I feel this little social visit has brought so much to my sessions, allowing me to customize them to every client and make it truly special to them. In this case, Sarah mentioned that her husband Nate owns an instrument store and could he maybe bring his guitar to the session? We met early enough before her due date for me to order a specia [...]

- Welcome to the world sweet little Joey, and look at his adorable little sister! She wasn't too comfortable having her picture taken, but thanks to photoshop, it was easy to get this nice sibling image as a "composite": I photographed her alone next to the empty bucket, and later on photographed Joey inside the bucket. Combining, merging the pictures into photoshop later makes these tricky situation a breeze!

- It was a pleasure to meet this very charismatic couple-turned-family. When Michelle walks into a room, she fills it with her grace and laughter, I can only imagine what a wonderful dancing teacher she must be! Michael is the ballet director at "LaBelle performing Art Studio", after 15 years of a very impressive performing career. In this context, I had to have an image of Mia in a tutu, and I commissioned my friend "Ans" to make a sweet knitted newborn version of a ballet tutu. It came out b [...]

- Meet adorable little Aidan, nicknamed "Perfect", because he simply is just that... Perfect!
His mama is one of the most fit woman I have ever met, I watch her lift 45lbs dumbbells when I struggle with the 20lbs ones, and she was running a half marathon while 8 months pregnant!...#goals

- When I think of my friends the Schneiders, I am reminded of the movie Wonder, and the movement #choosekind it triggered. Erika steps into my photography life with the most unique timing, always inspiring me and giving me hope when my tank is low. The first time she uplifted me was when she received Cosette. That day coincided with a awful terrorist attack in France and the beautiful display of love was the heartwarming I needed. The second time was 8 months ago. I couldn't share until the a [...]

- Often I get comments that it must be the most fun job to handle newborns, absolutely! I love it and it's also such a special time in a couple's life, this new transition to becoming a parent, this insane flow of love you feel for this tiny being, a special kind of love we've never experienced before until we suddenly have this tiny new person. I get to witness it while it is still such a novelty and along with cuddling with a newborn, it really is quite magical, I am very fortunate! I do love [...]
