jesse’s christening
A special day for a special little baby boy. For those of you who follow along at home, you’ll know this is the baby boy who’s birth I photographed back in July. So after seeing him take his first ever breaths, I’m always extra excited to see him again. His mom Jenn is the most fabulous event planner so of course, nothing was held back for his Christening “journey”. From the invitations, to the treat bar, to every. single. detail of the day something special was there.

introducing…jake & jesse
Another brand new (and brand new in life!) to bsquared family, with identical twin baby boys. Seems vaguely familiar…. Big brother was great with them and very patient holding them. When I saw the notebook on the counter with when and how much they ate, when they pooped and any other relevant info you tend to mix up between two babies at 4am, I totally had flashbacks to 16 years ago. Mom said no matter how far apart she puts them in the crib, they always smoosh up together, so I left them close for all the pictures and they still snuggled up together. So cute!

introducing…baby theo
A brand new to bsquared family with a brand new baby boy. And the cutest little big sister, possibly ever. The whole family was just lovely to be around and a pleasure to photograph amidst the chaos that is a newborn baby, a toddler, workers in the house delivering furniture, etc. Wishing them lots of luck and love as they settle into being a family of 4!

jesse is born
Almost two weeks ago, I was lucky enough to photograph a miracle. How many people can say that? And I get to say it twice because this was my second time photographing a birth for this fabulous family. You can see now “big brother” Jake’s birth slideshow here. This go round was at a much more civilized hour- I got the text around 9:30am, and headed over to the hospital by 10am. Jesse made his way into this world by 2:13pm, and I was home by 5pm on a complete high!! Things have changed at the hospital in the four years since photographing Jake’s arrival- last time I wasn’t allowed in until the last bit of pushing. This time I hung around with Jenn and family the entire time. There was even a live concert in her labor and delivery room. No, seriously.
Between applications of lipgloss, hair styling, epidurals (and the crappy side effects that go with that), joking, contractions, candy, doctors, nurses, dancing in bed, wardrobe changes for everyone (Jesse’s theme was black and white and the whole family got tshirts to match Jenn’s custom hospital gown and Jesse’s newborn “I was born today” onesie and hat) and the most fabulous delivery room socks ever, there was a baby. A whole brand new, perfect little baby. Amazing. No words to describe being there for that. Not all the pictures made the video (it’s totally safe to watch- no “parts” to be seen) but most of my favorites are in there. So please take a look at Jesse’s birth (make sure your volume is on). And leave some love for the new little family of four!

the bodk family
Photographed this fantastic family several times over the years, both together and separately. But this shoot with dad/grandpa’s plane at the airport? Yeah, you know how totally excited I was about this one!! Talk about an awesome “prop’!!! (and best of all, I didn’t have to go up in it! you know how i lust love to fly!) You can see some of their past sessions here, here, here and here. But this one takes the cake, at least for me.
