I chose this song to play as their proofing slideshow played. Joe Purdy, Wash Away I thought it was most fitting. You see when I pulled up to our photo shoot, meeting this lovely family for the very first time, he was on her lap letting the last tears dry up. He wasn’t happy about [...]

my baby (at least that’s what I call him) | 5 months old
“Do you need help giving him a bath?” “Sure, you can help me get his clothes off while I fill the tub.” I placed him on the green sheet covered mattress and loved the low lights coming in, barely lighting his scrumptious little face. I placed him in the middle – so he wouldn’t have a chance [...]

Z is one of my very favorite little gals to photograph! Z, J, M … you guys are wonderful! I hope your trip to Hawaii was everything and more. We had plans to use balloons in the shoot, but Z only wanted to see them fly …
