The night before I went back to work after maternity leave, I was crying, and Xander came over to me, put his hands on my face and said, “Mama, are you upsad? Don’t worry. It will be okay. I will help you feel better.” And he hugged me and got a towel, which he put over me like a blanket. “It’s okay. I got you, baby.” Sweetest little boy in the world. 🙂

As I was driving home from this newborn session last weekend, I felt so happy. I really like driving fast on the parkway and singing (it was mostly old country songs and 90s music that day), I was loving the cookies that my client gave me (soooo nice!!! and I even managed to save some for Paul and Xander), I was on my way home to my boys, and I had just spent part of the afternoon photographing this perfect tiny newborn girl and her family exactly the way I want to be photographing newborns and families. Here they are in my style…and their style…

Thank you, Jennifer! I just love them, too!!! 🙂
Unbelievable memories caught through your lens, fabulous!
I have such a great time meeting and getting to know the families I photograph. I so enjoyed my time with this one – sweet, bright kids who like to sing and talk, and parents who are generous and kind and inspirational.
They reminded me about one important tip to keep kids happy during a photo shoot…and even during an average day. Feed them healthy snacks often!
One of the cool things about being on maternity leave is that I’ve had time to do things I don’t usually have a chance to. One evening I went to a workshop hosted by this mom, Erica, about healthy meals for busy families. It was a fun night out for me and I took away several little tips that have made it easier for us to eat closer to the way we should be eating. I also joined one of her Tuesday morning Walk and Talk sessions. Jasper and I enjoyed a nice walk and conversation with a few other moms. Check out Erica’s website for info on her workshops and her work as a personal health coach. Definitely also like the Nature Girl Wellness Facebook page so you can stay updated on events and see helpful tips and thought-provoking questions. And now I’m going to stop snacking on Lindt truffles and go make myself a big salad. 🙂
I took pictures of this beautiful little boy yesterday. Can’t get over how gorgeous he is! He’s six month old and mom wanted capture this adorable age.
Loved all these boys with their sweet smiles and big beautiful eyes!
I love going to my clients’ homes for their portrait sessions. I think it’s so special to see your own home in the pictures. And won’t it be awesome for these two big brothers to have this picture hanging in their room?
Please leave comments for these cutie boys. 25 or more and they will receive a set of tiny albums that I am sure their mama will love!
They all have such gorgeous eyes!!! You can’t help but stare into them!
