Baby Julia
Erin & Michael are dear friends of ours who have a son around the same age as our Norah. Since we have known them, they have gotten their "girl fix" by loving on our little ladies. We often joked about Michael's desperate and obvious need for a daughter. I was heartbroken to realize that I would not be able to attend/photograph her victorious, beautiful VBAC, but luckily, Tori, of Adele Photography was.
This session was so special to me. It was chilly, and rainy and yucky outside, but inside their little home there was warmth, and joy, and love for days.
Meet Baby Julia <3
Love, Love, Love
This weekend, to celebrate Valentine's Day a few local mamas and their babes met me at the beach to celebrate the love of their wee ones.Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.
I faced some interesting challenges during these sessions.
First, I got my car stuck in the soft sand like a total tourist. HOW. EMBARASSING.
But thanks to a gentlemen who was out that day only to pull out losers like me, I got out relatively quick!
This was also my first shoot with all new equipment. Seriously. All. New. The only thing that stayed the same was my trusty 50 mm lens.
Even my computer and editing software were completely new to me. Finding my rhythm with the new set up is fun and a challenge.
These moms, on the other hand, were a dream to work with. They love their babies with ease, took direction well, and were just plain GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for spending a sunny, albeit chilly, evening out on the beach with me, mamas.
