    baby jayson is born

    A brand new cousin! Got the call around 10pm that they were at the hospital and I could come AND I could bring my camera. Yup, all in and at the perfect time of the night for me too! Well, good thing I left right away because I figured I had at least 2 hours before the baby showed up. Yeah, no. All of a sudden after I arrived Christine was pushing and the baby was crowning. They didn’t even have time to break down the bed, the doctor had on one glove, and they didn’t even have on the big lights (which made the photography difficult at best!) And then there he was! So please excuse the shortness of the slideshow- it was really all that fast! No time for reaction shots even, just got what I could. Oh, and the doctor MADE me take a picture of the placenta (ew. really ew.) but don’t worry, thats not in the slideshow.

    How cute is this baby? My new beach buddy (he and I had a long talk at the hospital regarding the summer to come) and so glad I got to hold him within minutes of him being born. That was pretty special.

    introducing…baby thomas

    Nothing like starting off a brand new year with a brand new baby! My first session of the year was for this adorable little guy and his family. He had the best forehead wrinkles I’ve ever seen! I’ve photographed his cousins many times over the years (thanks for the referral Annie!) and was so glad to meet more of the family. I think their poor dog was feeling a little displaced but was quite amusing during the session. Hoping to photograph you guys again as Thomas grows (beach next time!).

    the crof family

    I’ve been photographing this family since the now middle guy was a newborn. I adore (no, seriously. ADORE) these boys. They’re fun, spunky, sweet and TOTALLY deliciously adorable. And now, they have a new baby sister to add into the mix. So awesome seeing you all again- can’t wait to watch this little girl grow up with the best big brothers!

    the cros girls

    Three beautiful little girls belonging to a couple of great parents (I actually photographed their wedding a few years back, and its still one of my most favorite weddings to date. You can see it here, here, here and here.) One of them 6 days new, one 19 months and one three. You could say it was a challenging shoot, but the sweetness outweighed the challenge. Thanks for letting me invade your home for hours and letting me hang out w your gorgeous girlies, Jess! Oh, and Charlie the dog? Still love him.
