Maegan Dougherty Photography » NJ Birth and Family Photographer

My cousin and her family stopped by this afternoon on their way to a barbeque and we did an impromptu three month mini session for little Leila.  It started POURING rain shortly after they left, so hopefully they had a fun indoor barbeque!

Don’t forget to enter to win a mini session of your own!

Three months can be a tough age for pictures, but little Leila was a perfect model.  All of these pictures were taken with Leila on our ottoman, which was covered with a Pottery Barn blanket.

Thank you guys for bringing our clothing donation bag to the drop off bin!  🙂

thanks Meg! I really love the one of Leila with Marc. You always catch her great smile!

Speaking of families who invite me into their homes, Newborn Natalie, now three months old, and her adorable family are making another appearance on my blog.  Isn’t it fun to see regulars?

Ah, the baby feet…

Can’t you already tell Nicholas is going to be wonderful to have as a big brother?

Love the Mommy and Natalie shots.  Doesn’t Mom look great?

We all know I like the natural family pictures best.  I especially like this black and white.  Totally real life.

This session was all about this little girl, who is at such a fun and sweet age…curious, excited and full of energy.  Isn’t she adorable?
