Elledge Family

We had a lot of fun at this shoot with two active little boys. At times I was a little out of breath from running around trying to get smiles :)

James

This little guy was photographed at four days old. And as tough as it is to think of having a photoshoot the day after you come home from the hospital, it is worth it! He was very malleable and easily slept for most of the shoot.

I really like this blanket that the client had. I love working with personal and unique textiles.

This sweet little pose almost makes me want to have another baby. (almost...)

Guerrero Family

First off, I just have to say that this family was dressed beautifully. They utilized a lovely spring palette and kept everything very crisp and classic. I think it was a nice style to compliment the location as well. Well done!

Secondly, this brown-eyed boy (who is generally very happy and cheerful) was giving away smiles to no one. We all had to work extra hard to coax out a few grins. But smiling or not, those eyes shone like mirrors...

This couple is very cheery, but then can definitely pull off a more subdued look.

Have I ever mentioned I love to incorporate the sun into my pictures? I did it very frequently when I photographed weddings. For me, including the sun that instantly warms up the picture and creates this magical sense that all is well in the world.

After this shoot, my client wrote me an email to thank me for the experience of the shoot. The photoshoot itself really is an experience and meaningful memory for those involved. And I just want to thank her in return for the chance to photography her family. I always end up with a smile on my face when I am looking at your pictures. Thank you Guerrero family!

{I really love my job.}

Mack

I have really enjoyed shooting newborn as of late. Shooting them can always be a little tricky, but once you get them into a deep sleep, you can do pretty much anything. I always try to do something different for each shoot to make it interesting for myself and the client. For this shoot, I brought in a vintage ruler and a Moses basket. I am happy with the dimension they added to the photos!

Love the negative space; it shows how tiny and sweet they are.

Abouhassan Family

This is another beautiful family from my May sessions. I think the children have the most gorgeous eyes...
