Eight days old. Her name represents New Orleans where her parents met and Haiti where her father served in the Peace Corps. With a little jazz playing in the background to soothe her, she slept through almost the entire photo session, breaking into sweet little sleep smiles throughout. I’m looking forward to seeing her blossom from baby to little girl over the next year.
Mea and Parrish were my fourth set of twins in just over a year, but my first set of newborn twins. I’ve always been impressed by the calm and collected nature of all the moms of multiples I’ve encountered thus far, but I now have even greater appreciation for the challenge of coordinating the care of two babies at this earliest stage of life. Hanging out with their mom Meg brought back memories of how frazzled I felt for weeks after the birth of my son, yet she seemed to have it all well in hand, with an air of tranquility that belied the situation.
When Meg called me to arrange the session, she shared with me that the photos would be a surprise for her husband’s 50th birthday. I didn’t know until I arrived at their home that he would actually be working downstairs throughout my entire visit, but had been given strict instructions to steer clear of the flurry of activity upstairs. I managed to come and go without him ever knowing I was there! I’m very excited to have been enlisted in the scheme and can’t wait to unveil the gift when the finished artwork is ready.
In honor of their arrival, Mothers Day, and dad’s 50th birthday, here are Parrish and Mea!

I think the peak of autumn foliage occurred the day of this photo session. As I walked up the front stoop of Rachel and Andy’s row house, I couldn’t help but notice the brightly colored fallen leaves blanketing the walkway. Feeling inspired, we brought a little hint of nature indoors to add a little pop to the images. Thanks to extremely chill parents for letting me get creative. I feel extremely privileged to have been able to spend quality time with my dear friends and their sweet new boy during these first precious days.
Less than two weeks old and he’s already learned how to break free from a swaddle. I can’t get over how tiny this little guy seemed to me compared to my now 18-month old son, even though they were just about the same size at birth.
There’s something classic, yet contemporary about these photos of Cecelia. I always ask my clients if they have any handmade blankets or clothing that we can use during the photo session. These hand-knitted items are a perfect example; they add a little something special but don’t distract from the beauty of the baby. So yummy!
Fallon’s mom wanted to make sure we captured a gummy smile before Fallon’s first teeth came in. Fallon made the job easy, obliging us with endless big grins. I’m looking forward to 3 more shoots with Fallon over the course of the next year to see how she blossoms. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Colette was my first baby girl shoot. I don’t know what’s up with all the boys, but this little sweetie loved posing for the camera and we got some amazing images as a result. I think this one is a portfolio contender. What do you think?
I was looking through my archives and came across this little gem, which looks like an oil painting to me. It’s my new favorite. 
Liam had a lot of pain from teething during our shoot. It’s a tough situation when the star of the show is feeling so lousy, but a cute baby is a cute baby even when he’s crying. Fortunately we got a few smiles too.
Here are a couple of favorites from my shoot with Finn. He’s my first subject since I launched my new website so he is featured prominently there. He has the best spikey hair!
