Baby L

 

I have been daydreaming about photographing this little girl for quite a while.  She was worth the wait in every single sense of the word (or words?). What is up with the laid back, chill babies I have been photographing lately? And why have I never had a laid back chill baby?  Welcome to the world sweet baby L. Mama Melissa, you are one lucky lady. This baby is insanely beautiful and precious.  Those full pouty lips are to die for.

Oh Boy

This little man was welcomed to the world by two eager parents and two older brothers!  He is seriously THE most laid back baby I have ever encountered. Here are just a few of the pictures I snapped during our shoot.

Mini Sesh with Baby L

I am in total denial that baby L is almost 1!  How did this happen?  Here are a few shots from our mini session on Monday, for her 1st birthday invite picture!!!

Birthday Party Shoot

Let me tell you, the party I shot last weekend was filled with more love then I could imagine!  The Mama, AKA party planner extraordinaire, didn't miss a beat!  I loved every detail she put into it.  But what really stood out the most to me, was all of the hugs and kisses and love everyone had for each other. Little girl L is one lucky lady.  She had more aunts and uncles and grandparents, each one adoring her more than the next!  Love this family!

C turns 3!

Sweet 3 year old C, once again was an exception to the 3 year old rule. The 3 year old rule that states getting a decent portrait is super hard at said age.  She defied the odds at her 2 year old shoot too!  Sweet disposition, beautiful, and a talented ballerina to boot!  Happy birthday C!!!!

Spring Portraits

Check this out!!  Siblings that like each other?  That's unheard of in my house. 

If you are kicking yourself for not meeting me at the Boardwalk for Easter Mini Sessions...And these pictures are so darn cute you are kicking yourself EVEN more... don't fret. It's not too late to capture your sweet little ones in their Easter duds.  Drop me a note to book yours!  I mean, really?  These two are just too adorable!

Sigh...

I know yall don't want to hear about how I crave that sweet newborn little baby boy smell.  So I won't go into how he  made my ovaries twinged when I held this sweet 5 week old. But I will share a secret for a good newborn shoot. Have a vacuum handy!  This little boy cried for the first 30 minutes of our shoot despite the calm shooshing we provided, the warm sun, cuddles and milk we fed him!  So his Mama had a great idea, turn on the vacuum. That seemed to work the other day for her at home. And it worked! All of the sudden he became the sweetest, most laid back little guy. It was loud, and made the room smell like my dogs hair, but it worked, nonetheless and I was able to get a cute shot or two of baby K.
