One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is getting to watch the tiny newborns that I photograph grow up! It means so much to me that parents not only trust me with their precious newborn memories, but also want me to capture those other childhood milestones…like turning the big ONE! Today is M’s actual birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY from your favorite photographer! πŸ˜‰ He has the cutest smile!! I had so much fun at his session. We just let him do his thing and play and he was such a trooper! Thanks so much Melinda and Mark for trusting me to photograph your little one again. I know you are so proud of your precious boy! And, because it’s his birthday today, he gets a special BIG sneak peek! πŸ™‚

Mark Sr.

Melissa once again you have amazed us with your talents. Very good job and thank you.

Isn’t he the sweetest thing?! I love his perfect little lips, cute chubby cheeks and fuzzy little arms in the first photo! I was lucky enough to catch a few smiles during the session too! Thank you to his mom and dad for trusting me to capture this special time. This stage passes so quickly, so I hope you will treasure these images of your baby boy forever. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy the peek!

This mommy and daddy sure do know how to make some gorgeous babies! I’ve been so fortunate to be able to photograph both of these little girls when they were newborns. I have to start the post with my new favorite photo! I didn’t know what to expect when I had this photo in my head, but they were both perfect models so it went off without a hitch! πŸ™‚ Baby A was such an angel for her session and big sister A is so sweet and loves her so much. Thank you so much Amanda and Brian for trusting me to capture your beautiful family. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
