Baby and family …
Beautiful Bronwyn and her lovely family at 7 months. I cannot believe how much she has grown! Here she is at one week old: Bronwyn Rose 2 beautiful newborns coming this week! Peace, much love, and baby cuddles ♥ anya
mommy and me…
I had so much fun photographing this absolutely stunning mommy and her little girl Maggie! Maggie has such an awesomely expressive personality that I ended up burning a lot of calories attempting to document it. Which was a good thing. Because they fed me a Gigi’s cupcake. And ummmm, I don’t think those are low-cal, are they? My jeans the next day said nope! Apparently so did her mama’s 😉 Smooch! Peace, much love, and more cupcakes, please! ♥ anya
beautiful belly, beautiful family
I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful expecting family this past weekend. I knew someday my incredible knowledge of Sponge Bob Square Pants would come in handy! I happen to be one of the few adults who finds absolute poetry in Sponge Bob … I would probably marry him if he wasn’t a sponge. Of course, I say that about a lot of people. My list of potential future husbands is very very long 😉 I cannot wait to photograph what I am sure is an absolutely gorgeous little girl inside this mama’s beautiful belly. Peace, much love, and belly cuddles ♥ anya
ben at 3 1/2 months
I am without words this evening, as life has a way of sometimes leaving me speechless. I must say, however, that I am madly in love with little Ben’s mohawk. I really hope he still has it at his 6 month session 🙂 Peace, love, and baby cuddles ♥ anya
oscar
My weekend is always complete when I get to spend it with a fresh new baby and family! Oscar and I had a lovely time hanging out together… and this time I even managed to get a few images of big brother Henry as well 🙂 I will call this next collection “Anatomy of a newborn plus sibling session”. The first time I met Henry was during his mama’s maternity photo session. Henry wanted nothing to do with me. No amount of bribery would get him to befriend my lens. So when I showed up for baby brother Oscar’s newborn session I wasn’t expecting to get much out of Henry. Amazingly enough, with the help of the infamous “Green Monkey” 😉 , we managed a few shots…. First we had to photograph a wrapped “Green Monkey” plus Henry. Once Green Monkey was removed (as you can see below) Henry wasn’t so sure about adding Oscar to the picture. I think the last image is my favorite. It isn’t necessarily always about capturing what we may envision the perfect portrait to be … it is about capturing a moment in time. And sometimes those moments aren’t…
avi
Welcome to the world beautiful Avi. At three weeks old, Avi was an amazing sleeper! I was so sure this session was going to go on the long side, however much to my surprise we finished early 🙂 Loves me some baby toesies! Waiting on two more wee ones that will hopefully make their appearances soon 😉 Peace, much love, and baby cuddles ♥ anya
beautiful mama, beautiful belly …
I can’t think of anything better than spending a little time on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with a lovely family preparing to become parents once again. I can’t wait to meet to wee little active peep inside!
lily
Dear Lily, I have been waiting for you for some time now … I photographed you in your mama’s belly when you were still a small little peanut. When you arrived, your mama was so excited she emailed me that night with a photo and description of how absolutely beautiful you are! When I arrived at your home I immediately felt the love that surrounds you. My life is forever changed for having the opportunity to meet you, hold you, and capture your delicate beauty. On a lovely little side note, you share a birthday with sweet little Emme, who is also on this blog. Both of you were born fast, in the same hospital, and almost at the same time. 🙂
arthur and his peeps
I had the most FABULOUS time photographing 4 month old baby Arthur and his delightful family! It isn’t often that I get an outdoor evening session and I was reminded about how fabulous the light is, and also how much FUN it is! Arthur shows his brother and sister who is REALLY the boss in this family ….. 😉
xander at 6 months
I had the distinct honor of documenting baby Xander at 6 months. I met him initially as a newborn https://www.anyawait.com/2011/01/03/baby-xander/ … look at how much he has grown since that day!
