Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

it’s fun to see how closely we are all connected…

This family contacted me all of the way from Sweden to take pictures of them while they would be in town visiting relatives on their baby girl’s first birthday. We soon discovered that one of Mom’s closest childhood friends is my direct neighbor. what luck!

 

 

for all of the photographers reading…there is no photoshop magic in those eyes

 

 

i love this quiet moment between mom and baby…

 

i have to admit i’m jealous…

I just can’t deny it…I’m envious of this image:

I’ll be working towards getting someone to take one of me and Mason that’s just like it : ). This family was so natural in front of the camera, and isn’t Mom simply radiant as she gets a sweet kiss from her little guy.

This is the baby sister, she laughs hysterically when her brother sings to her.

…and she pretty much smiled for the whole session

These are the men of the family, they take good care of the girls, and they love m&ms

…there she is still smiling.

old friends…new baby

today i received one of the most wonderful e-mails…

Moms often tell me how they cried when they first watched the slideshow of their new baby, but this morning I got an e-mail from the Dad of this little pumpkin saying that he was tearing up looking at the pictures from his computer at work. Now, I’m sure he’s not the first, and he certainly won’t be the last, and just look at how beautiful she is. This family is dear friends of my sister and I was excited to get to photograph her as a belated Christmas gift to their family.
