Miracle of Life : Christine's Belly Session

When Paul and I were down in New York City a few weeks back for a photography trade show, we got a call from a friend of Michelle (from the previous post), wanting to do belly session with us soon. Well it just so happened that Christine was calling from her place right in Manhattan, so we were able to fotograph her the very next day! We loved her and her husband Ryan's place- it was modern with clean lines, and it was a delight to use this setting to make some beautiful portraits of them! We will be seeing them many more times, as this beautiful couple has signed up for our Miracle of Life plan....so stay tuned!

Shh....Don't tell!

Two years ago today, a very adorable little boy named Dylan was dropped into this world by a stork.

Happy Birthday Dylan....it has been so amazing seeing how much you've grown every time we fotograph you and your family!

20091029_150159_k2


As part of the Miracle of Life program, we fotographed Dylan from his mommy's maternity through his first birthday. We then designed a book for the family featuring images from each of the sessions. Check it out HERE and be sure to wish Dylan a very happy 2nd birthday!!! And stay posted for his little sister Francesca's 3 month foto session!

Miracle of Life : Baby Lauren's 3 Month Session

We are changing a few things for the better here at our studio. I've never been a fan of scrolling down to view the images that we put on our blog. It has always felt clumsy to me, and not very user friendly. Also, as my other fellow fotographers know all to well, generating, copying and posting code for hours on end is not exactly how we'd prefer to be using our precious time. So, without further ado, meet our new way of viewing and enjoying images on our blog....all you have to do is arrow through the images (the big arrow under the center of the image), or, if you prefer, you can hit the play button and watch a slideshow set to music! How exciting is that?!



A few weeks back, I fotographed little Lauren's second session of her Miracle of Life plan. I cannot believe that she is already 3 months old! She is so utterly adorable and extremely expressive. You can literally feel the love Lauren's parents Carolyn and Mike have for their baby girl. It radiates from them how much they love being parents. Enjoy!

Miracle of Life : Baby Francesca's Newborn Session

A few months ago we fotographed Dawn's belly session while she was pregnant with Baby Francesca. You might remember from previous posts that the Niderno's are having us do a second "Miracle of Life" baby plan. Well, on June 20th their baby came into this world! This time the family's new addition was a baby girl, the first in the family, and Dawn is tickled an appropiate "pink," needless to say!



Meet Baby Francesca:

Francesca is so sweet!! What a doll....

She was very alert for a newborn, and didn't want to take a nap, though we tried our hardest to coax her to sleep.

Mommy tried to nurse and rock her little girl to sleep....

2V_sidebysideNB2


....but it was Daddy Justin that finally was able to....

Beautiful baby....

This is one of my favorite baby portraits I've ever taken. I love the way she is holding onto Justin's pinky finger with her little, tiny fingers.

Big Brother Patrick playing the guitar for his new little sister, trying to keep her sound asleep... : )

Francesca was fighting off the sleepiness....

Family portrait time...

So sweet...

Francesca is really a "pink" little baby, isn't she?

20090630_182000-p1


Patrick nuzzling his baby sister....you can tell he adores her already!

20090630_184149-p1


...and back to sleep. I love to fotograph babies while they are sleeping. So peaceful.... We put little yellow bloomers on Francesca to coordinate with Dawn's awesome yellow outfit she wore for her belly session!

Dawn is going to have a blast having another girl in the house. She's been dying to have someone to be all "girlie" with! How about frilly pink pillows?

20090630_190746-p2



20090630_190759-p2



Congratulations Mommy Dawn, Daddy Justin, and Big Brothers Patrick and Dylan on your new addition to your beautiful family!!! I can't wait to come "play" with you again for Francesca's 3 month fotos. We'll have to play "dress up," or something really girlie!
