What A Gem!

I'm smitten. I'm smitten with a little girl named Gemma. Gemma belongs to my college friend Greg and his wife, Rachel. When Greg contacted me to take pictures of his little girl he stated that he had the perfect subject for me. I was at first a little skeptical as she is pretty young and sometime little ones can be shy. Plus, this would be my first time meeting her. When I first walked into their home and saw her, I immediately asked Greg if I could pick her. Before he could answer, little sweet thing was running towards me with her arms wide open for a big hug. No shyness, only love. Sigh. Her wanting to be picked up and hugged by me was a reoccurring theme the entire afternoon and I couldn't have been happier. There is one image where she was actually starting to cry because I was taking pictures and not holding her. (Last Picture) Pretty funny and cute. AND she was a wonderful subject, full of fun and smiles.

Chase, My Heart

So, in my last entry I spoke of how I love, love, love pregnant women. Well, I also love babies too! I was lucky enough to be invited to Baby Chase's home to capture a few moments from his first month. He was so tiny and look so adorable wrapped in the white blanket. Can't wait to see how he grows!

Beautiful Bobbi

Let it be said that I love, love, love being around pregnant women. Not only do they glow wonderfully (despite nausea and wandering hormones) they just exude happiness and joy. It just makes me so happy! I can't wait for the day when I will be growing a baby of my own. Until then, I will bask in the glow of other mothers by photographing them.

A couple weekends ago, I had the opportunity to spend a nice Sunday afternoon with Bobbi. Bobbi had a wonderful disposition pre-baby and to see her during-baby was such a treat. We had such a lovely time and I am grateful she let me capture her glow. Take a look!

The Mitchell's

Last Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of spending the afternoon with the Mitchell's. Jenny was one of my roommates from college and I was so thrilled when she took me up on the opportunity to photograph her family. The Mitchell's are an a gorgeous family and the kids are absolutely adorable and full of energy. I certainly got my workout. Well, see below!
