Caleb's Smash Cake Session

I can't believe how quickly the past year has gone by. My little baby is now one! We bought a mini ice cream cake for him and he loved it! When the cake was set in front of him, he was unsure of what to do so he started taking the blue frosting and finger painting his leg with it. He had a blast with his smash cake (big sister enjoyed it as well)!

Family Session

Baby Boom

I love newborn photography but it has to be one of most difficult types of sessions. Somehow, they always know that you want him or her to sleep so they try to stay up as long as they can so they don't miss out on any of the action.  Once you get the little one into his or her deep sleep, you never know how much time you have or if the slightest movement or change of position could wake baby up. It's all worth the extra work in the end.

Holiday Sessions

Tears, Laughter, and Love

Yesterday, I shot a Holiday Session for the M Family. The session started out great, but while taking a few shots of Mr. And Mrs. M, Madeline somehow got several huge splinters in her hand. With no set of tweezers handy, Mrs. M put a bandaid on her hand and we hoped that Madeline would forget about the splinters for at least the next 45 minutes. Madeline tried her best to brave through the session smiling for the shots and crying in between.  By the end of the session, splinters were a distant memory and Madeline was all smiles again.

The Obenzaban's Precious Addition

I love shooting during the "golden hour" but we were really racing with time and the elements during this shoot.  What you don't see is the strong winds and the goosebumps from this chilly Indian Summer evening.  I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to document the Obenzaban's maternity and newborn memories for both Lucas and Chloe.
