Wow...this is a busy season!

So, I think I posted like 3 weeks ago...And that's about how long it's been since I've come up for air. It's been an awesome busy few months, and am thankful for it. Thankful to have met so many cool new families, thankful for the creativity that they have allowed me to explore, and thankful that it has all been fun. I am posting just a few of my recent family sessions...thank you, all of you for letting me into your lives, and having fun with your kids.

Here are a handful of photos that I love...not that I don't love many others, but this is what I came up with today!!

First is Henry, Lily and Hadley (just 3 weeks old!) - Big brother and sister were so good, and patient....
















And here is Emma, Linus and their parents...some of you may recognize these beauties from my website portfolio and also from my postcard mailer....love these kids...










This is the BEST funny face picture I think I have ever taken. Really.



And meet sweet baby Jacob...less than a week old...I just wanted to eat him up.






And one of my all time favorite siblings....Ali and Elijah..on FIRE.

A few from my studio this past week...

Kiya and Ellis










and adorable, squishy TJ...

Is this really my JOB?? I like this too much...

So, this shoot, with the Rubin Family was fun, was chill, was exactly why I love my work. I have a few photographs of myself and my sister from when we were pre-school age, taken by an art-student babysitter of ours. The photos are black and white and just so rich. I feel like those photographs tell more about us as kids than many of the family snapshots we have filling my mother's photo boxes in her cupboard. Well, these photos that I am sharing of the Rubins remind me of those photos I have of myself. And these photos, I feel, really represent how much I love to take pictures.
I hope you enjoy them too.

Beautiful, Fun, Mollie

This is Mollie. I met Mollie and her mom, Heather a few years ago at one of my Crackerjacks store events. I think Mollie was about 6 months old then..same as my daughter. Mollie is now four. Every time I see her (and her mom!) I have so much fun. She's energetic, into the camera, into me...and she and her mom both have this infectious laughter - it's wonderful. So, these photos are from our session last week. As promised, I have pulled out my old trusty 4x5 camera and used it with Mollie at my studio. We also did some regular old film like I usually do, as well as some digital stuff. We started at the studio, then just walked a block down to the cemetery (it's beautiful!! not scary!!!) and did some fun stuff there. Here are few snaps from our session.
