it’s the little things…

I'm a bit goofy and always ready to have a good time - I love making clients laugh...it just so happens it's usually at me and some random thing I am doing to get "the shot" - If it's nice outside, I guarantee I will be found sitting in a patch of sunlight soaking in the rays - I tend to miss speak right when I am trying to be sassy, ... so I just end up sounding silly - I love all the noises a new baby makes be it cute or gross - My socks never match and I am proud of it - I avoid cleaning the bathroom like it's the plague. It comes from growing up with two brothers and always being on bathroom duty - I found out the hard way that garlic does NOT compliment everything... and now my husband doesn't let me in the kitchen unsupervised - I still get giddy and jittery before every wedding I photograph - I once thought the biggest gift of being self employed was making my own hours, now I know it's the luxury it gives me to raise my son (born April 2011) without the need of daycare - I love riding my bike, but don't have the constitution to make myself work out regularly - I believe that following your dream is not the easiest path but is definitely the most rewarding one. My dreams since I was 18 was to find the man of my dreams (check), raise a family (check) and create images for a living (check) - oh... and if you want to make me laugh, tell me a poop joke. Works EVERY time.

Simone | 3 weeks

Posted in the bumps and babies No comments

The weekend before Christmas, my mom and I took a weekend to go and visit in Portland. The weekend was great. I don’t know the last time my mom and I got to spend such quality time together! But, I will write about that in another post…. this one is about Simone!

Simone is my cousin’s brand new baby girl! One of the reason’s for the trip to Portland with my mom was to go and see little baby Simone. My cousin Alex and her husband John have an older boy named Julien which I hadn’t seen since he was Simone’s age, so I was overdue for a trip and itwas a great time hanging out and visiting. I didn’t walk in expecting to do a shoot, but when I am around little babies, it’s hard to resist. Especially when that baby is SOOOO CUTE and my camera was just out in the car.

Simone is a beautiful and relaxed little baby, which everyone insured me is a 180 degree flip from 2.5 year old Julien! On a side note, I have to say I love the names they pick for their children. Julien and Simone! So beautiful! So here are some images from my impromptu session with my new cousin… or 2nd neice? I don’t know how the naming of the relation works, but I’ll go with cousin. Congrats Alex and John, your family is amazing!

Baby wrinkles are adorable. No question about it! RE_091220_1495 RE_091220_1496

Baby butts are just as cute… it might have something to do with the wrinkles again…. RE_091220_1506 RE_091220_1514 RE_091220_1516 RE_091220_1522

This shot I love! It happened so quick that I almost didn’t get it. Julien loves his sister sooo much! He is going to be a rockstar big brother for sure!

And since Julien is such a cutie, I had to get some shots of him too RE_091220_1552

This look is going to worry Alex in John in a couple of years I am sure RE_091220_1585 RE_091220_1591

And of course, we had to get a family shot. Julien was at the end of his rope at this point, but I convinced him that he could take a photo with my fancy camera if he would just hang out for another moment or two. And it worked! Check out the photographer in making in the pic below! I didn’t compose that for him at all! RE_091220_1605
