Style Me Pretty : Baby Audrey

As many of you might know, Paul and I are delighted and honored that our studio is a featured photographer in Abby's Little Black Book on the fabulous Style Me Pretty blog. Well, a few weeks back we had the pleasure of meeting Abby in person at Weddings : The Creative Process, a lovely bridal event put on by Sarah True of True and Wesson. Abby was the special guest speaker, and we were so excited to finally meet her. For all of you style obsessed brides out there, you must check out Style Me Pretty... it is the place to go for inspiration. Abby never ceases to amaze us with her intriguing articles and keen eye in putting together inspirational detail boards .

Well, imagine our surprise when Abby's husband Tait calls us a few days later, asking us for a gift certificate for Abby for mother's day! Apparently Abby liked us as much as we liked her. Needless to say, we were quite flattered, and very delighted to photograph Abby and her lovely family.

So, the following week we took a little trip up to Boston to fotograph the Larson's in their home. It was the perfect spring day, and we started in baby Audrey's bright little nursery, where there was plenty of beautiful natural light and smiles!

We loved the colorful rug....it made for such a cheerful background!

Audrey was having a ball hangin' out in her crib! We were all cracking up as she rolled around with that daisy in her hands, ripping the poor thing all apart!

Paul took these wicked cute fotos of Audrey peering from her crib. How cute!

See any family resemblance in the smiles... like mother like daughter : )

Back down to baby height...

Who could resist a face like this? What a doll!

Audrey with Chloe, the family dog. We asked the Larson's if they watch the TV show "24", which just happens to have 2 characters named "Audrey" and "Chloe." They said they actually never saw it....hmmm, coincidence I guess.

Chloe was cute as a button...no wonder Tait is so attached to her.

How sweet is Audrey?

Off to enjoy the beautiful, sunshine outside....we walked over to a lovely park across the street from the Larson's home to make these portraits. I love how Abby spontaneously lifted Audrey up above...real, uncoached moments are the best : ) We always encourage our subjects to be themselves and forget we're even there, and the Larson's were wonderful for that.

Tait playing with his sweetheart.

All the ladies in the family...prettiness overload! I had a nice talk with Abby's super sweet mom Eddye (who is holding Audrey below). Eddye is the very talented blogger behind the Little Black Book blog, writing inspiring feature articles on the Little Black Book vendors. As you might recall, just a few months back, Paul and I had a wedding featured on the blog. It was great to meet her as well as Tait's mom Judy. We think it is wonderful that Style Me Pretty is a family affair. Tait is the brains behind the programming of the site and I'm pretty sure that Chloe is the Style Me Pretty mascot : )

Isn't this adorable? I love how Audrey's touching hands with grandma Judy.

Stylin' pretty : )

Back inside....we just had to use the dining room table, fresh flowers and the beautiful vintage chandelier in some shots. And Audrey didn't even pee sitting there all nakey!

I love the different perspectives that Paul + I get of the same shot... here's Paul's super cute shot....

Then it was bath time...where else but in the kitchen. Oh to be a baby again!

I love how the grandma's are watching the background.

THESE ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the shot that was your favorite shot. That is a shot people would hang in there home for the art of it without the baby being theirs! She is such a doll! Those table shots are just beautiful as well. SUPER AWESOME session guys!
