family, newborn, and JETS!

August 20, 2010

We have been lucky to have been connected to some pretty amazing clients, who we’d also like to think of as friends. We owe a lot of our connections to one awesome couple, in particular. This family was one introduced to us by that couple. We met them when baby R was just 6 months old. So sweet to watch her change in the months between our visits. Now, they’ve welcomed a new baby girl to their family, and we were lucky enough to photograph it. Being around a newborn just made me nervous…she was so so teeny, and we’re out of the teeny, uncontrollable head phase. I hope next visit I’m ready to hold her! (she just needs to put on a few lbs.!)

Sweet big sister playing games with her little baby.

Oh a sleeping baby. Is there anything sweeter?

I couldn’t ask for better advertising with these photos on the wall. We’re copying the set up with pics of Finn for our house!

And onto the BIG sis.

Love the big kid toys. (can’t wait to have our house filled with them!)


LOVE this. As she’s playing, Dad says, “I’m a little obsessed with airplanes.” Perfect lead into the next shoot we did with them.


We were lucky enough to join them on a special day for their family.

Can’t wait for the holiday shoot, G Family!

Ahhh! Look at this little face we’ve come to frequent in our photosessions…Little Asher is just adorable, and his parents are pretty fun, too!! We met at the Franklin Park early morning to shoot some family pictures. Asher, being the drool and spit up monster that we’re told he is, came shirtless until the last second when he got dressed for the shoot. So cute, and ACTIVE! It’s fun to see what we’re in store for in the next few months.

a break from work

July 14, 2010

Finn seems to have a trend of goodweek-badweek (badweek = less naps, a little more fussy), and we’re in the midst of a fabulously wonderful goodweek that’s been filled with almost giggles and lots of smiles. So as a reward to myself, for Mike and I clearly being such wonderful parents to have raised such a happy baby (this week anyways :) ), I decided to take a break from the weddings to catch our family pictures up to date.

I can’t believe how much Finn changes in such a short period of time.  I’m truly now loving this parenting thing. Not that I wasn’t before, but I know that all the mom’s out there understand what I mean. We had a sort of ten week get to know you period. Now he knows I’m his, and he’s mine, and that’s fun for everybody involved!!

Jagee takes Finn swimming at Nanny and Papa G’s pool. So happy that he was able to go in, and that we have pictures of it. My mom swam here when she was a little girl! Such an important summertime place for our family.

Finn helps us scout out wedding shoot locations :)

Finn and his cousin Ellise. Every time I’m looking at a picture of them, I think, “they’re going to be REAL people someday. What are they going to think about all the crazy pictures their parents made them take together!?”

….and my babIES. Trying to keep Bella as loved as she was before Finn boy came and stole the spotlight.

Back to editing for me! I’m absolutely loving the weddings we’ve done so far. Each has been so unique and special. Two more next weekend that we hope are just as fun!

Where have we been?!? A bit preoccupied, I’d say…..

introducing….. Mr. Finn! We welcomed baby boy into our family on May 4th, and he’s completely changed our lives. It’s been amazing to see him grow and change already in just the short (and I mean SHORT, this month FLEW BY!!) time he’s been alive. Needless to say he’s captured our hearts, and we wonder if there will ever be a day when simply watching him sleep and studying his adorable features will ever get old.

He’s got us pretty busy, but we’ve had time to shoot two E-sessions, a baby shoot, and will be starting our wedding season soon!

Here’s a sneak peak of what’s in store in the next few weeks
