A day in the park with Reese...

Reese is one of the most adorable little girls I've ever photographed. She reminds me of Michelle Tanner (the Olsen twins) from Full House. We went to the park and I basically chased her around wherever she went. Her favorite thing to say was "UP!" I could photograph her allll day long. I did need a nap afterward...

Here's a few of my favorites:

Evan's First Photoshoot

I've been on a newborn photo kick lately and I LOVE it!!! It's great to see first-time parents and their new addition. There's always sooo much love in the room. It also fulfills my urge to have another baby...at least for a little while. ;) Evan was an absolute angel. He didn't cry once! It was unbelievable!

Here's a slideshow of all the photos:

Giuseppe's first photoshoot!

Here are some photos from Giuseppe's first photoshoot! He is absolutely adorable! He looked like a little Christmas elf! The photoshoot was a little crazy because although Giuseppe looks tiny...he eats like a horse!!! I was supposed to fly up to Connecticut this day but while I was at the shoot I found out my flight had been canceled because of a huge snowstorm. Everything worked out perfectly and I'm excited to photograph this little peanut as he grows more and more handsome!

Taiesha & T'nayah's Fall Portraits

While I was in Connecticut I photographed Taiesha & T'nayah. Taiesha wanted some fall portraits of the two of them. When you're a mom it's easy to have 1,000s of images of your kids and only a handful of you in them! I couldn't have asked for better lighting and fall colors. T'nayah was so good too, posing for the camera and hugging her mommy on cue. As she got a little restless Taiesha bribed her with chocolate...it works every time! Hey, I can be bribed with chocolate too you know! :D Here's some of my favorites. I absolutely LOVE the photo of T'nayah hugging her mom...she's squeezing her with such love...
