You may recall I went down to Philly for a maternity session and baby shower back in December (you can see those photos here). This past weekend, it was time to go back down for the newborn. Baby S was simply perfect and her family, beautiful. That is about what it boils down to. There are many more things I could say but I know mom and dad are super excited to see these so here are a few :)
I will be pretty sad when Veronica gets bigger. Or, actually, when her parents sell their place. It has this great blue wall with a white coverlet on the bed and the perfect window…sigh. I used it for their clean and simple newborn photos HERE and then again this past weekend when we visited. It’s great to work with friends – you just tell them “Actually I want her undressed on your pretty white blanket” And they say “Okay!” (Fine, if we’re being honest I would say it to a client as well. But it’s a lot more comfortable when it’s friends.) We went back to visit John and Rachel and see “baby Veronica” as my daughter calls her. My has she changed!! So much bigger with the most adorable little rolls. I think she is just about the cutest seven month old on the planet. No, I’m not biased at all!!!! ;) But can you honestly look at these and tell me she isn’t? Those cheeks, that dusting of red hair, those lips GAH!! Perfection! We even got to go outside for a few minutes and use the pram that was Rachel’s when *she* was a baby. I have had plans for that since I saw it at her shower. Ideally it would have been about 60 degrees warmer but I’ll take what I can. She is perfect as are her mommy and daddy. Much love to you guys!! (And just remember, I need a blue wall in the new place, too.)
One baby is fun at a session. Two is really really fun but really challenging. When mom called me for this next session, I admit, I was a little bit nervous. A family of four with nineteen month old twins and at the end of November outside! So many things could have gone wrong with this shoot. But it all came together beautifully. And I mean ALL. The weather was stunning. November 20 and it was 61 degrees and sunny. The family – absolutely gorgeous. The kids – adorable and so so well behaved and just so stinking CUTE. The hand-knit sweaters on the kids – perfection. It was seriously so much fun. And never in one session have I had as many family photos as I came away from this session with where everyone is looking!! As an added bonus I also definitely got my cardio workout in. ;) We met up at Lincoln Woods for my first time shooting there – an absolutely fabulous location!! The family took me all around and showed me the good spots. And we did the usual Amy Ro session things until the sun set – sang lots of songs, quacked like a duck, jumped up and down, said the word “poop” a lot. ;) All the good stuff. But clearly, it paid off. :D
