Welcome Baby Sam!

August 17, 2008 – 2:03 pm

What a whirlwind week it’s been! While over on the East Coast in gorgeous Maryland last week shooting Billy & Julie’s wedding, timing was just too perfect to swing by DC and hang out with DJ Kane and Natasha to see their beautiful baby girl. Actually, Natasha had hoped to have me shoot the live birth (WOW! Talk about an honor!), but apparently baby Sam had some other plans in mind! She came a couple of weeks early, and man is she just the cutest gal with the coolest mohawk ever! I couldn’t wait to navigate through DC’s crazy streets to see them (THANK YOU GARMIN!)- the last time we saw them was last April for their gorgeously romantic wedding in Florida. Thank you SO much Kane and Natasha for allowing us into your lives for all these special moments! (hahaha, including following Kane to work to see how his studio works- we even got to listen to some live calls from listeners of one of his three radio shows for DC’s Hot 99.5 and Tampa’s 99.3 FLZ!)  See you guys again, soon, I’m sure!!!

Miles turns 6 (months of course!)

July 24, 2008 – 11:18 am

It’s been so much fun getting to know Miles, Molly, and Mikhail over the last year, and watching him grow from a bump in the belly to an absolutely adorable future heartthrob!  From belly to first year, we’re now half way through!  On a super sunny Spring afternoon I trotted over to their home to find Mr. Miles is the greatest mood I’ve ever seen!  I’m sure it didn’t hurt that Molly was singing his favorite song all day (more accurately- spelling the word H-A-P-P-Y  while singing, babies entertain so easy!) and Mikhail was oinking all over the place.  I’m sure the neighbors were nothing short of entertained themselves!  This one’s for you Molly!  XOXO!

Miles: 3 Months and Growing

May 2, 2008 – 9:02 pm

I am amazed at how fast babies grow, how at each stage, they are unrecognizable from the time before.  I first met Miles’s family when Molly had me over to take a few images of her belly.  Then again once baby Miles was home from the hospital.  Here are a few shots of Miles at 3 months-he is getting SO SO big! (and yes, I do have another pee shot from this one… but it’s a little too revealing to post ;)  Next month will be his 6 month session- I’m excited to see how much he’s grown again!!

Announcing Elliott Jack!

April 13, 2008 – 8:39 am

I’m sure I’ve said this a THOUSAND times, but I love seeing my clients’ lives change and their families grow. This was the case with Suzanne and Ty. A couple of years ago I documented their engagement portraits. Then I had the honor of photographing their wedding in Whistler. And now, they are so excited to welcome their first baby to the world.

Welcome, Elliott Jack!!

And of course, there is ALWAYS that moment when shooting a naked baby….  “Quick! Get a towel!!”  I think I’m going to start keeping a file especially of these moments, and someday publish my book about photo shoots and peeing babies :)
