More from Noland’s birth [Delaware Birth Photographer]

March 25, 2010

One of the reasons I was so happy to be able to be there for the birth of this beautiful little baby boy was because his Daddy is deployed and was unable to come home for the birth.  So I am excited to get these images processed so that Mom can share them with Daddy. :)

Be forewarned — there is a lot of images in this post.  And if you want to continue to [wrongly] believe that babies are born all clean and shiny, then don’t go any further. ;)

I love this last one.  The whole family was there and while it had been a whirlwind of activity, it suddenly died down for a moment and everyone got very quiet.  It was so peaceful and I don’t know quite how to explain it, but to me, this is the exact moment Noland truly became a part of their family.

Freshly Born Baby [Delaware Birth Photographer]

March 24, 2010

There’s nothing better in the world a brand new baby and I had the incredible opportunity to document that today.   Just barely though — Mom progressed super quickly and by the time I got the call that she was close, I sprinted to the hospital just in time.  I literally walked in the door, started shooting and within probably 40 SECONDS, baby Noland was born.  Simply amazing.

Just one image to share for now.  This was the first shot I fired off.  Take a good look at the clock in the background.  Noland was born at 1:41 pm.  :)


More images coming soon . . .

My Molly

March 22, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about my big girl, Molly.  Biggest news is that she’s potty trained – yippee!  Been going strong (with only a few set backs) for over two months now.   And she is such a good big sister – loves making CJ laugh and smile and has a weird obsession with wanting to see his poopy diapers.  I know – I have strange kids.  :)

On St. Patty’s Day with her two little pitiful pony tails.

We’ve been thoroughly enjoying these spring evenings outside.  I love her how her bottom lip is sticking out as she concentrates on drawing rabbits.

and her chubby little fingers holding the chalk.

She has the same super fine whispy, slow-growing straight hair I had as a child.  I trimmed it ever so slightly a few months ago in an attempt to make it look thicker.  The rain made it curl under just a little today and it looked so cute, we ventured out into the sprinkles to get a few shots.

Her ‘cheese’ face.  Notice the purple bruise on her left cheek?  Yeah, she fell out of her bed this morning and hit her face on the step stool.  :(

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! [Delaware Baby Photographer]

March 16, 2010

Just one quick shot from this weekend’s session with an adorable 7 month old.  He thought the hat was hysterical.  As soon as I put it on him, he started laughing.  More to come soon . . .

It’s been so much fun watching this little darling grow over the last two years.  And soon she’ll be a big sister!  I’m sure she’s going to do awesome and I can’t wait to meet the newest addition.

In Love

March 11, 2010

I am in love with my new sample canvas.  It was waiting on my doorstep when we arrived home from running around all morning (storytime @ the library, Staples run, picked up a birthday present at Toys R Us, pizza for lunch) and was RUSHING to get the kids down for a nap so I could open it without interruptions.  It’s GORGEOUS.  Absolutely GORGEOUS.  I wish I had a picture like this of me and my baby to hang up.  And, of course, that I looked that good in jeans, as well. :)

I also wanted to show what a 16 x 20 canvas looks like next to a standard door.  A lot of my clients stick with 8 x 10s and smaller because they’re afraid to go big.  Well, this just shows that what seems big when you order it, really doesn’t seem that big at all once it’s up on a wall.

My Little Dude [Delaware Baby Photographer]

March 7, 2010

So hard to believe that CJ is six months already!  The time has just flown by.  And even though he still insists on getting up every two hours at night, he is just the happiest thing ever.  I am so thankful both of my kids seem to enjoy getting their picture taken.
