Jack and His Family. Life Stages Portrait Session.

I have a big history with this family.  First it was Charlie and now Jack, and most importantly, Stella (their human dog).  I'm not kidding.  She might as well be human.  She has all the mama instincts with incredible patience to boot! 

This was Jack as a newborn and this is him now.

See what I mean?  Life flies right on by and before we know it we're paying for college. I'm so glad I can document such important stages in a baby's growth.  It's so incredible and lovely.

Charlie towers over Jack.

This is what I mean about Stella.  Eternal patience.

Weeeee!

Mom & dad with the little guy.

Love the details of little people.

Such personality!

The whole family.

Meet Jack. A Newborn Session with the Poray Family

I'm excited to start off the New Year with a New Life.  This is Jack Poray, little brother of Charlie.  Jack is basically a minature version of Charlie.  You can see it in his eyes and his tiny mannerisms.  He showed up earlier than planned.  This, of course, was a bit stressful for Paige who hadn't painted his room and was still in the midst of the Christmas rush. This is a good sign that Jack has plans, big plans, and nothing is going to stop him.

Look out 2010!

A Newborn Session with David Michael DeVito Jr.

Yay.  I'm so glad to be blogging again. It's been a little while. The little elves in our studio have been very busy placing orders for the Holidays. Can you beiieve it's Christmas so soon?

Meet David jr.!  Big, huge, lovely eyes like his beautiful mother, Kara.  Look how fabulous she looked during our pregancy session.

I went on location for their newborn session, which i love to do and highly recommend.  I love the aura of a home with a new life in it. There is definitely a warm-fuzzy feeling that surrounds you.  Is there such thing as calm chaos?  Because, that's what it feels like.  All is right in the world with new baby and, oh, gosh, no I don't have time to do mundane chores and I'm still trying to figure out how to unfold the stroller to put in the car and buckle baby in.  It's amazing, because in 2 months time, you'll be doing everything with one hand.

Thank you so much David & Kara for allowing me to document something so precious.  xoxoxoxoxo

I love the little smirk on his face.  Must be having a happy little dream.

I love toes!!!!

Just waking up to photographer.  Hello little person.

I love how little David is connecting with daddy.

Quiet moment with mom.

I LOVE this family photo with Max (the dog), who was making certain to protect baby from person with camera.

The two Davids.

Dreamy...

Meet Max...I mean Ethan. A Newborn Session.

Max!

So, I made this image I was so excited about when Linda was pregnant.  They knew they were having a boy and named him Max.  They were pretty sure because they bought the letters for his room.  I wanted to use them in an image and it turned out great!  I was imagining it hanging on the wall in his little room. 

A few weeks later I hear from a dear friend and client of mine that they changed his name to Ethan after he was born.  And so my fabulous Max picture is just a memory. 

Here's Ethan.  Beautiful and sweet.

Welcome to the World, Jocelyn!

Joceyln decided she wanted to see the world three weeks sooner than she was expected.  But, this healty little nugget (that's what I like to call adorable, yummy babies) is perfect in every way.  And her parents, Jaime & Bryan, couldn't be more thriilled with her arrival.  We photographed Jocelyn within the first two weeks of her birth and she turned out to be a fabulous model.  I think she's a natural.

Congratulations Bryan & Jaime!  Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful & precious life with me.
