Talk about melting hearts and taking names. This little guy was a rock star when we met with Jay and Cassidy to take his picture last month. He slept through just about the whole session, and when he wasn’t sleeping he was just looking around and being cute. We don’t need to say *how* cute, because… well, you’ll see for yourself. Comments are always welcome about how melted your heart was by Baby Austin and his amazing parents. (Thanks, guys! You were seriously amazing!)
Here’s to a long life of big smiles and sound sleep, Austin.












Cute needs no introduction.
But, just in case, this is our niece, Addison. She is now four months old with a brand new smile. Just lovely. :) :) :)





Last month, we had the pleasure of meeting 9-day-old Evelyn. She was so sweet and only fussed a little bit as we moved her around and played with the light. And we even got her big brother, Sebastian, in the frame for a few minutes toward the end. What an amazing family; thanks guys (and especially Evelyn) for the great shoot!





I have two favorites from that day, and this is one:






And this is my other (most) favorite:

Addison was born on Jan. 19; we took her pictures on the 29th. (How’s that for being on-the-ball?) She is absolutely beautiful, and pretty mellow. At the beginning of the session, we cranked the heater so we could take off her PJs. Then we set her on a big, fluffy pillow with a soft blanket over it. She was soooo out. But then we started moving her around more, and she woke up and looked around. All in all, we took a couple hundred shots over a period of an hour. Here are the best, along with the three from our initial post.


Oh yeah, and Lorelai was there, too.






All the way from Manila, we want to wish you a joyful and meaningful day. Thank you to everyone who has helped make 2009 a great year by sitting, crouching, laughing, frowning and otherwise posing on the other side of our cameras. Merry Christmas!

While I prefer doing portraits outside and in a more candid style, we improvised a studio at my brother-in-law’s house a couple weekends ago to do some seasonal portraits of our niece, Lorelai, and her friend, Jake.
I missed posting this one for St. Patrick’s Day, but better late than never.
I love how easygoing Jake is, and how excited he gets when his dad walks into the room.
Lorelai has him beat in the hair department, though…
Check back on Easter for a few more shots from this session…
