Brand-new: Baby Riley

I am very honored to present to you for the first time, Baby Riley. He is welcomed by two very loving parents, Jeff & Claudia, who you may remember from a recent belly shoot. 

We met at their home and spent some time just adoring their new little boy. Here are a few of my faves from the session. 

Meet Riley.

He was so content in his daddy’s arms, it was adorable.

new love: sleeping babies…what could be more precious?

Claudia was still just glowing.

Jeff & Claudia- Thanks again for inviting me to capture these beautiful moments for your family!

Little Emily

Sorry it has been a bit since my last post. We moved and life got a little crazy but we are all settled in now and loving it. AND I am thrilled to be bringing you this post from my brand-spankin-new iMAC. It is going to make my life so much easier so just buckle up. 

Anyway, I can’t wait to share this adorable little girl with you. Emily just turned one last weekend so we thought it would be fun to do a little photo shoot. She is darling, so open wide for a huge dose of cute…

I love when kids study my camera and try to figure it all out, so precious…

clearly daddy’s little girl…

what a DOLL!

my fave for last…

happy birthday emily!

Mona & Co.

Mona and I have worked together for almost two years now and on Monday I had the opportunity to spend some time with her and her darling family for a shoot in Palm Beach.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.

Mona & Jorge are just totally smitten with each other, it’s very cute.

Sophie is totally adorable!

So is her lil bro Joseph!

Fave shot of the day below, Joseph taking some of his first solo steps. Look how proud he is!

Thanks Mona for letting me in on such a beautiful time in your life.

Cheryl & Co.

This was the last shoot of my busiest week yet! I really do just love being outside with my camera so I had a lot of fun doing each of them.  This coming week I have three more shoots and two weddings so stay tuned. This blog’s gonna be hoppin!

Anyway, Cheryl was the first-ever recipient of a Jessica Lorren gift certificate and she and her family met me in Jupiter for a session on Thursday. They were all fantastic models and we had a wonderful time!

Here are a few from our shoot- hope you enjoy!

Jim, Austin, Chantal & Cheryl-lookin good guys!

I love her look!

Mamma Hood

On Wednesday, I had the honor of doing a special shoot for my friend Rebekah Hood. She and her hubby Ben are getting ready to welcome little Josiah this summer so we decided it was time for a belly shoot. We had an awesome time shooting at some new locations I have been dying to use and she totally worked them! Let me tell you, this chick is just as fab in front of the camera as she is behind it.

Here are just a few since I said my posts this week would be brief.

Bekah dear- I just love you and I can’t wait to meet your little dude!

The Mackey Boys

This week is going to be full of new shoots to post! I am so excited about each and every one but I am going to try to make the next few posts a little abbreviated so you can see all of them without taking too much of your time. 

Yesterday I had the joy of being invited to photograph four very handsome little boys that I first met last year for their family shoot.  Caleb, Josiah, Levi & Silas met my friend Kelley and I at a little creek behind our church to do a fun shoot to celebrate Levi’s second birthday. The boys had fun catching minnows and climbing trees and Kelley and I had fun photographing them!

It was hard to decide which shots to post but this will hopefully give you a snapshot of their charm. Enjoy!

The Brunk Family

Dave and I are blessed to have so many great friends. Jared and Andrea Brunk are two of them. They are super down to earth and a lot of fun to hang with. I was really excited about this shoot because their son Noah is just adorable and has these gorgeous blue eyes that just make you melt.

We had a great time together at the beach and here are some peeks from our session:

Totally sweet! Thanks Jared and Andrea- we love you guys!

The Megathlins

This shoot was a long time comin’ but it was totally worth the wait.

Shelly and I have been friends since college and we’ve been talking about doing a session for a while, well today was finally the day. She and her hubby Dave have two adorable kiddos, Emma & Jacob, that I have been excited to photograph for what feels like ever!

We were a little nervous about where we would shoot considering the 85% chance of rain- so we decided on a place that held some nostalgic value for Dave (and also a bridge to shoot under if the rain came down).

I love finding new backdrops and this place was full of them. I had such a great time just romping around and I even managed to snap a few fun shots…

So meet the Megathlins.

You can see why their children are so beautiful…

Jacob is pure gorgeous.

And Emma, at a whole 4 years old, has got some serious style!

She totally worked the old blanket I pulled out of my closet for this shoot!

Oh and these kids are melt-your-heart sweet too!

and because sandy hands and feet get me every time…

kids. beach. love.

Thanks Shell for makin it happen. Love you guys!

Belly: Jeff & Claudia

Don’t you just love it when things turn out just the way you want them to! I do.

Today was one of those occasions.  I woke up not feeling my best and slightly concerned about how windy it was for my morning belly shoot at the beach. So I said a little prayer that things would go well and headed down to meet Jeff & Claudia.

This is where it gets good…they arrived right on time and were totally flexible about relocating the shoot to Bethesda by the Sea. So we headed over there  and the next thing I knew we’d spent two hours together and I had over 600 shots logged on my camera!

This couple seriously blew me away with their incredibly laidback personalities and willingness to try anything! On top of that, Claudia has this captivating kind of beauty that makes it impossible to stop snapping. SO yeah, I got a little carried away.

All that to say that this post is a little longer than usual but hope you enjoy.

They were so sweet together…

gorgeous…

Can’t you just see the joy beaming from her?!

I just love her look!

This was the last shot of the morning and definitely my favorite!

Jeff. Claudia. You guys made my day,  I cannot wait to meet your new little arrival in a few weeks!
