about it being 100+ degrees outside:
it makes for super, happy, relaxed little newborn babies. Isn't she adorable? And I couldn't get over that perfect little pout!!!

This session had it all...
...three adorable children with a super wonderful, loving mama...
...family snuggles and special time just for dad + daughter...
...a piano prodigy, funny songs made up to Nirvana tunes by dad, headstands on a funky purple couch, lush green grass where mom and dad could rest for spell...
...bikes and wagons...
...sprinklers and watermelon...
...and even me! P.S. Remember the story about the bottom left photo? I still laugh about that.

P.S. Remember the story about the bottom left photo? I still laugh about that.It was such a pleasure to get to capture this family doing all the things they love to do together. Can't wait to put together their album, too! I LOVE making albums and knowing that the images are going to go together to tell the story...the pictures are going to get looked at and remembered time and time again. Makes my heart happy!
Pretty is definitely the first word that comes to mind when I think of this session. This was from way back when it used to rain here. In fact, I think we actually had to reschedule because of rain which was a little risky since they had traveled in from New Mexico. Meg is a VERY busy and VERY talented and now VERY pregnant photographer ;-). I just LOVE her work and I'm so excited to have a new photog to inspire me. We really hit it off and I very much enjoyed working with her. We had actually made plans to get together again in New Mexico this fall, but we have since tabled our RV trip (boooo :-(. I'm so excited to "see" their new baby boy when he makes his arrival!
It was the first time they had all been together in many years (we were even joined by her son's girlfriend). Her children came from/live all over the globe. They are amazing and doing amazing things in their lives. I imagine she is very, very proud.
Her big bro was a little firecracker. They balance each other out ;-)
I've really been enjoying lifestyle newborn sessions like this. It's not about the latest prop or the coolest blanket or headband. It's about a family just being a family and pulling in elements of their current circumstances into the images so they can always remember these early, fleeting days.
