I have to apologize because I’m a bit behind on blogging…this busy time of the year always seems to do that to me. Baby D is just too cute not to share with the world this very second. Don’t you agree?! I know this little one is so loved by his three big brothers and parents and I’m so happy they all came to participate in his photo session. I have to admit that I was a bit out of my comfort zone photographing six people at a newborn session, but I’m so happy that I did because we got SO many beautiful images of the family. Here are a few of the new addition! Hope you enjoy!

Thanks so much Kristal and Robert for trusting me to document this special time. Kristal, you look amazing! The love that you two have for one another and for your son is very much evident in all of the photos we captured. I had to include one of you guys in your jerseys for the peek because I think it says so much about your personalities. 🙂 I can’t wait to meet your little one! Enjoy the peek!

OMG Kris…you look so beautiful! And I have to admit my fav is the one in your jerseys even though you know how I feel about the cowgirls…I mean cowboys. Once again Melissa, you have captured precious moments I know Kristal will treasure forever.

I had the best time with Miss A at her second birthday photo session! She’s grown so much since last year and keeps getting more gorgeous each time I see her! She’s such a sweetheart and I had so much fun playing during our session. Thank you Erika and Max for asking me to capture your beautiful daughter again! I LOVE these images and think they capture her sweet spirit so perfectly…reading her book…playing with her cute curls…and having fun exploring!! 🙂 I hope you love them too!

Photographing these expecting parents was such a joy! They get an award for enduring what was probably one of the most humid days of the year too. Thank you Roxana and Jose for entrusting me with the precious memories of your pregnancy. I was also really excited when Rox told me that her two fur babies would be joining us for the session. They were so sweet and were also troopers in the heat! 🙂 Hope you enjoy the peek!

Roxana

Melissa,

Jose and I loved these. I cannot wait to see the rest. The boys came out amazing…

Our family and friends loved these as well.

Thanks!

Claudia,

THese pictures are phenomenal! You look great and baby is gorgeous. I”m loving Sophia’s gorgeous face. I couldn’t help but share this with my family. These shots make a small part of me want to have another baby just to capture the beauty of pregnancy and the sweet smell of a newborn head. I’m looking forward to seeing more.
