Baby delicious! There is nothing in the world like a brand new baby. This is adorable baby Ari whom I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon photographing. Despite challenging his mama during labor, he is a seriously mellow little dude. Thanks for letting me hang with you guys yesterday afternoon! And thanks for the rockin’ cupcake! We are ordering that recipe book today. Not so sure those cupcakes are on the Barry’s Bootcamp Diet, though…..shhhhh…… With grandma In the “wrap” …..so glad his mama didn’t mind that I put him in pink….I think he looks delicious!

Well, this morning I am feeling very un-creative verbally. I think it is due to the lack of caffeine and perhaps I should go brew myself up another cappuccino from our most awesome (and not very expensive) cappuccino maker I scored at Starbucks a year ago. Although I am not Starbucks hugest fan and we have tons of local coffee houses near to us, I couldn’t pass up a 50% off deal on a cappuccino machine! I probably have saved enough money at this point to feed a small nation….that is how much I need my cappuccino 🙂 Anyhow, back to my regularly scheduled program of sneak peeks. Be prepared for another one later on today! There may even be a cute baby involved… Isn’t this mama’s belly super cute?! These twin girls are so ready to have a sibling to cuddle up with. And they were so thrilled to be photographed. They were my dream girls as far as models go! I cannot wait to do their newborn shoot. Looking at how beautiful these girls are, I know for sure that baby is going to be a cutie!

Some photos of Rowan. These don’t show the full magnitude of his curls, but you get the idea. We are definitely not ready to cut his hair. Ok, *I* am definitely not ready to cut his hair 🙂 Rowan in pajamas and his sister’s boots. He is more interested in playing outside than actually getting dressed. Rowan at the local coffee shop, Ancora. Fortunately we are within walking distance! And if the weather would cooperate, we might actually WALK sometimes…

Melanie, here are a few more for ya! I didn’t even know which ones to show because there are so many fun photos. So I thought I would just choose a couple that screamed fun to me for different reasons. You look absolutely radiant! 🙂

I think it is safe to say that I love animals. I was so worried that I wasn’t able to capture this sweet dog as he transitions from being the baby of the house. I was so happy to get home and find this lovely image in my files… More from this maternity shoot to come. The Daily Show is on. I am virtually unable to stand up Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert!

This little snuggly man makes me say awwwwww… At first I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to get him to sleep. Thank goodness for mommy milk! And lots of time and patience. Which is really what it’s all about for newborn sessions. I have to admit, they are my fave! I have so many more where these came from it isn’t even funny…..even a few that include big brother. Who I hope isn’t totally hyped up on sugar tonight due to all the bribing. I hope he got his chocolate donut.

Baby Stella is a beautiful model, for sure! And despite the fact that our light was hampered by rain storms, I think we were able to to capture some beautiful images of this beautiful babe. Everyone who is waiting for a gallery of images from me….I am on it (and please send Coke Zero to my house asap!). I have a backlog of photo galleries awaiting completion and I apologize. We went through what I hope is the last bout of winter illness at my house and that got me quite a bit behind in editing. So just know that I am working diligently to get them complete. 🙂 There are plenty more where these came from:

So sorry I did not get this sneak peek up earlier. This little baby girl was such an angel. I could not resist getting a photo of her gorgeous hair and lashes. And that purple dress! I wish H and M made that in my size. Don’t worry, grandma, I do have some in her red party dress too 🙂 Enjoy! I swear she could be a baby model…

Is this little man! I have a lot more where this came from…..just wanted to give you a little peek at what is to come 🙂

That is all this little sweetie said when asked if she wants a brother or a sister. I couldn’t help but post this one too as I edit through all these amazing photos from the last week of shooting. Her sweet little loving eyes just call to me 🙂 This little baby is already so lucky to have such a lovingly sweet sister!
