It’s always nice to come back from a little vacation to photograph a sweet baby. Today I had a nice studio session with little one month old Xander. This will be the first of many, as Xander is one of the babies that is participating in The First Twelve Baby Program here at my studio. I love it when they are sleepy and cuddly.
Here’s some special ones from the session:
Little Ms. Olive came in on Saturday, along with her awesome parents, Cody and Allison. Olive has changed so much since the last time I saw her … taller, walking, and now with a full set of hair as blonde as blonde can be… and it goes with her eyes perfectly.
In between all the walking and exploring, I caught some special Olive moments that range from sometimes looking a tad confused (for those who have seen pictures of Olive know that this is a classic Olive expression) to an abundance of happiness.
Sunday I had the honor of photographing little Isabella’s Blessing. It took place outside underneath giant redwood trees, thousands and thousands of years old, in Northern California’s beautiful coastal landscape. As one guest commented, “what a beautiful juxtaposition; combining the old with the young.”
Friends and Family gathered, during an unusually hot day, bringing their presents and love, and then everyone stood around Isabella and her mommy & daddy and all gave their blessings and good wishes.
It was hard to choose a few … but just for a taste of the day, here are some favorites.
Photographing a baby at six-months old has to be the cutest moment*. They are sitting, smiling, and their cute little clothes actually fit.
(*But then again, I could say my favorite age is when they are in their sleepy-newborn stage and the studio is completely silent except for the little baby breaths and the click of the shutter. And then I am also looking forward to Isabella’s First Birthday Celebration session as well - cake, bubbles, ballons. Need I say more?)
