After a referral from a mutual photographer friend, I met up with K. and her adorable twelve week old son, J. last week for some family photos. J. is quite possibly one of the cutest, happiest twelve week olds I have ever seen. And my favorite part as the momma of a chunkamunk – he is a nice solid baby just like I loooove. Beautiful big lips and full cheeks, and he was a dream to work with. He let me do whatever I wanted, was content inside and outside, dressed and undressed, he was just SO cute. We did a bunch of shots of just him and some of him and mom and after a little while dad and his big sisters joined us for some family shots. We got a great range and he was the perfect trooper throughout!
Now this is a tough time of year for sneak peaks — I have to pick and choose carefully what I am showing since I know they are planning on some shots for holiday cards. So you are not going to see any of the fabulous family shots or the shots I got of J. smiling because I don’t want to ruin their surprise for friends and family. But I did throw in a few extras for this sneak peek to make up for it. 
L.O.V.E.D. loved his nursery. It was a complete baseball theme done by the family as a present for K. and L. You’ll have to trust me, but it looks like something out of a Pottery Barn Kids catalog. Absolutely gorgeous. I am having visions of J. standing in his crib with his name plaque behind him, or sitting where he is laying on this shelf or under the gorgeous baseball quote that is on his wall. Yes, I always plan future client shoots when I am at their session. Totally normal…right?
Gorgeous big sisters. I told them I am going to come back and shoot them separately for my portfolio. Not kidding.
Dad is totally enamored of his little boy. And being a wrestling coach he is quite solid himself so it’s really cute to see him holding this (okay, not too teeny) baby.
And I end with gorgeous mom and one of my favorite momma – baby moments that I have ever caught. You guys know I am all about getting the emotion of the moment. I adore posed shots. But the looks like in the last shot, I really live for that. Anyone who has had a child remembers these moments, where it is just you and your child and you look into their eyes and it’s almost like the rest of the world just fades away for a moment. And you ARE each other’s world.
Thanks for having me, K. and family, I had a blast!! I’ll be in touch soon!
Thanks.
