Well almost one year to the day from their wedding, Michelle + Peter had a lovely addition to their family! Baby Alexander was came into this world a few weeks early- he just couldn't wait to meet his mommy and daddy! We are so thrilled to fotographing this couple again, now as a beautiful little family!

Can you tell how excited we are?

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....




....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... : )




....But she awoke : )




Francesca was fighting off the sleepiness....








Family portrait time...




So sweet...




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








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




...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!








Oh!!








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?

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!
