To say that the coming of this new baby was long awaited would be an understatement. Adding the final piece to this family puzzle has everyone in a tizzy of excitement and anticipation. When editing this session I kept going back to the remake by Izzy. Click here for a mood setter. Since they met and married in Hawaii, it was more than fitting. To be able to capture this stage of this family’s life was an honor. Truthfully, it was a terrible week of weather and it was so overcast during their shoot I thought I might cry. Me, the lover of all things sunshiny and bright. After their session I decided we didn’t need any sunshine with us as they brought more than enough simply with their presence, excitement, and love for one another..

There is nothing more rewarding or heartwarming than photographing the growth of a child. I originally got the opportunity to photograph this little one when she was just a few days old here. Amazing how time flies and how quickly they grow up.  Here for her 6th month photos, she truly reminded me of a Kewpie Doll…remember those? Check out those chipmunk cheeks and eyelashes for days. We met in one of my favorite locations for a very quick 20 minute shoot and here are some of my favorites.

Sometimes on a chilly, overcast, winter day when you are walking from the zoo to the car, there are piles of lonely, unsuspecting leaves waiting for you to play in them with your kids. No one cares that they are not dressed to the nines or your son’s foot long hair is not combed. No one cares that the leaves only contain the crunchy, brown remnants of what was once blazing reds yellows, and oranges. What is important is the fact that I had my camera with me to capture memories of me with my sidekicks acting a fool on the ground. It’s also pretty important that I got a picture of me with my super cute new scarf on. Wait…I think I just said I take my kids to the zoo in dirty clothes without brushing their hair.
