Baby Makes Three!

I met Vanessa and Jesse a few weeks ago for my first attempt at a full shoot in my new studio and I'm happy to say that it went well despite somewhat cramped quarters. I had a great time working with these two and love the photos we created together - and for these reasons I'm really, really sad that we met just before they were moving home to Montana and won't get to meet their new baby! Thankfully Vanessa assured me she will send photos when he or she arrives... not quite the same but I suppose it will have to do : )

An Impromptu Shoot

 

Not long after we experienced the birth of Baby Everly together last spring, Jen Quesada of  Natural Blessings Doula Services contacted me about documenting the September home birth of her third child. Well, September is finally here and last week I stopped by to visit with Jen, her husband Josh and their two girls Grace & Samantha.  As it turned out, Jen’s midwife and good friend Eloisa Cary of Gentle Hands Midwifery  just happened to stop by for a visit while I was there! I had brought along my camera with the intention of snapping a few belly shots, but when little Sam grabbed the fetoscope and asked to listen to the baby, the whole family got in on the fun and a full-on photo shoot ensued! What a great time we all had trying to find the baby's heart beat while Eloisa gently encouraged him to turn into the birth position for Mama Jen.  I can’t wait to share the birth photos… hopefully very, very soon!

After Eloisa left, we spent a few minutes documenting the family in their final days as a family of four – which inevitably turned into a huge tickle-fest : )

And finally… a few solo shots of Jen and her belly. 

Such a pretty, healthy mama she is!

Waitin’ On A Baby!

From one boy named Evan to another! Except this one is still in utero : ) Baby Evan will make his appearance sometime around the beginning of August, but I met with his mama & daddy, Samantha & Isaac, a couple of weeks ago to capture the couple during the ever increasing state of anticipation. We had a great time getting to know each other while traversing the grounds of beautiful Woodstock Farm. Please enjoy a few of the photos from our shoot!

Please check back in an a few weeks to see the photos we capture of Baby Evan!

Celebrating Mom!

It’s time again to share the variety of photos of moms and their children that I’ve collected throughout the past year! I hope you all are enjoying a lovely day with (or without!) your kiddos : )

This year’s Mother’s Day tribute is dedicated to my dear friend Naomi who became the last of my childhood buddies to join the ranks of motherhood in October with the birth of her little man, Durkin. Here are a few photos I captured when I last visited them in February…

Motherhood seems to suit her well, don’t you think? And now, onto this year’s collection of beautiful mothers… have a great day, ladies! Thank you so much for your support throughout the year: )

And last but not least… a shot of me and my boy Asher, taken last month by my sister!
