Griffin & Fam

I feel like I have a history with this little man!!  This is his 4th session with me, he was in the womb for the first one.  I was with his lovely extended family and friends at his Bris Ceremony, and we shot a newborn session at his home, and just recently joined them again for a 4 month old session!  This guy is handsome and has such grown up features... and those eyes are some serious blue!!  I especially loved his little patch of hair on top of his head... his parents affectionately called his "toupee!!" He's teething already and we had to work hard to get those hands out of his mouth to see that grin underneath!  I added in a thumb-sucking shot just for fun, since this was the case!!  

Griffin's mom just really struck me as ..... happy and content.  She had a glow about her that was even more present than when we took her pregnancy portraits.  You can see it all over these pictures!!  It was obvious to me that the bond between the three of them is very strong.... and this is one happy, thriving family.  

Jason & Tonya

Jason & Tonya will be tying the knot in December and I will have the privilege of being their wedding photographer (yay!).  They drove down from Okeechobee last night & we met on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach to shoot their engagement session.  It was a lot of fun as Jason is quite the crack-up!!  He kept us all laughing when he wasn't trying to stick his tongue in Tonya's ear!!  :)  I really love shooting in this area... so many great doorways and textures.  They did a great job and I can't wait to be a part of their big day!  Thanks guys... more pictures to come! 

Two Miracle Babies!!

Willa & Sadie.... elegant  names for such elegant little ladies.  They honestly reminded me of little china dolls with their dainty features and creamy skin.  They are two miracles, as they were born 3.5 months early.... now just has chunky and happy as could be!  What a blessing they are to their family!

Tiffany...

So my husband got his first tattoo about 4 months ago.  The manager of the tattoo shop let it be known that he & his wife, Tiffany, were expecting their third baby girl soon.  My ear perked and I inquired as to whether or not he'd be up to trading services (as I've been considering a tattoo on my upper arm/shoulder area for a while now.... yes, I know.....).  He was game and convinced his sweet little wife to go for it.  I'd always wanted to photograph a mommy that was tattooed up!  She is petite and beautiful... and the canvas of some creative art as well as a gorgeous baby belly.  Thanks Tiffany for coming by... hope you enjoy these!  More to come...  

PS. Don't you just love the skull undies??  I didn't want to cover them up because I thought they were so great!!  Her leg tattoo is so beautiful... never been much of a skull tattoo girl but this one was so beautiful!!  Who knew?  :)

Jennifer & David...

This is Jennifer & David's first first little bundle.... they are likely already holding him in their arms as I post this!!  Jennifer contacted me at about 36 weeks with a serious sense of urgency about getting these images taken!  Poor Jennifer had been on medication to stop her contractions since 32 weeks and basically waited until we got these photographs taken to go off of the medicine!  She was seriously contracting throughout the whole session and had to take frequent breaks to focus on her breathing to get through them!!  I'd say she gets the award for mommy closest to labor taking pregnancy portraits!!  

Bless her heart, I remember ONLY TOO WELL what that is like and I found myself feeling a bit envious of the ride they were about to take!  The birth experience is so intense and surreal....            Anyway, :) I wouldn't doubt it if they had the baby that night!  It has taken everything for me NOT to call them just to quench my curiosity!   It was a great combo session with a studio sitting in their (beautiful) home and a jaunt over to the beach for a few outdoorsy-types!  She is a beautiful mommy and I'm looking forward to meeting their little man at our newborn session!  Congratulations guys!
