Welcome to the world little Matthew!

So... Honey, a bride from a few years back, has finally had her first baby! Matthew is absolutely gorgeous and we decided to make these portraits at home. I really love shooting portraits in home spaces. Their environments are so relevant to day to day life... :) And little Matthew did so well... we even got the newborn to make a few smiles at us.











I also made them these two canvas storyboards to hang in their home from the portraits. (To view these larger, just click on the image and it will open a new window with a larger image.)
Aren't they beautiful... ?!?! Just imagine... you could have one of these hanging in your home of your own children! : )


And, of course, because this one is really a tear-jerker... here is matthew's slideshow.

Year in the Life Portrait Packages

I am quite the busy bee these days... wedding season is back in full swing and I am loving getting to meet new people everyday and finding new shooting opportunities...

Recently, Josh, a prior groom of mine, called to set up a fabulous birthday present for his new wife, Honey. :) He wanted to schedule some maternity portraits... we ended up going with my new "Year in the Life" Portrait Package... Honey, Josh and Baby to be will be having three sittings throughout the year... one maternity session, one new born session and one first birthday session. Then, after the last sitting, they will get a big hardbound coffee table book chronicling the events of the baby's first year. I am so excited to be offering these new packages... just give me a call to set up yours. :)

Here are some of my favorite shots from Honey's maternity session...
