newborn portrait

This weekend I was finally able to photograph our newest neighbor. Between winter’s illnesses and baby acne I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen. But it did and look how cute he is:

I just love photographing my couples when they welcome a new baby into their lives.  This little bundle was such a sweet little thing.  She slept, cried a bit and even showed us her baby blues.

 

We headed north to our favorite city.  One that we like to call home.  We may both have been born and raised in California but we call the birthplace of our favorite daugher home.  I love that dirty water!  Boston you’re my home.

Ok, ok.  Enough with song quoting.  On to the photos.  I was honored to photograph this newbie.  She was born only 3 weeks before.  I must say, my trip was timed well.

            

Then, later in the day I visited with this family and captured a little one almost the same age as my little guy. 

   

        

How cool it is to see my couples again… and with kids!  I may be a documentary photographer and capture real life but really, what is real about a wedding day?  The white dress, the up-doo, the guys in tuxes; nothing average or normal.  I really enjoyed capturing a day in the life of the people I had only previously captured the most extraordinary day.   As Sarah said; “in our natural habitat”.  A great time.  Stay tuned, a future trip is in the works!

that we know, anyway.  This week marks the first time I have been able to drive since breaking my foot.  In honor of this momentous occasion, we went raspberry picking with friends, I had 2 photo shoots, and one meeting down in Rockview (1.5 hour drive) for next week’s wedding.  We were a bit overbooked and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down.  I am smiling as I write this!!!  I am very excited to be able to get around on my own again.  Freedom! 

Ok, back to the baby.  Isn’t she sweet??
