Bobby, 6 weeks

I had a fantastic shoot with baby Bobby yesterday--he is just perfect at 6-weeks-old! I love those big eyes, and he had such a cute, "new" smile...

Jennifer & Thomas

If you've been following our blog, you may have noticed we haven't posted any weddings recently. After our daughter Annie arrived in the thick of wedding season last year, we decided to take a little break and lighten our load for 2011 by cutting back on weddings a bit. Annie recently turned one (pics coming soon!) and our son Joseph is now 2.5, so we're finally figuring out how to juggle the madness of two toddlers and a full-time demanding photography business!

This weekend we traveled up to the Cleveland area for Jennifer and Thomas' wedding! We were greeted by heavy rain and thunderstorms before and after the wedding, but thankfully everything held off when it mattered! We couldn't have asked for a better couple to work with as we get back to business and we are so excited to share some of our favorite images...

Baby Julia, 10-days-old

I never know what to expect for newborn sessions...so, I expect nothing. Sometimes they sleep the whole time, sometimes they mostly cry, and sometimes their diapers need to be changed over and over again. And that's fine by me.

But little Julia was in the best of moods today. I can honestly say Julia was pure perfection, eyes wide open for 30 minutes straight (except for the occasional slow blink!), often lifting her head to look straight into her mom or dad's eyes. Now if I could just find out what mommy Jane's secret is.... :)

Syrus, 5-years-old

I had the pleasure of photographing Syrus last year around his fourth birthday and I couldn't believe how much he'd grown in a year! Of course I got smaller (was very pregnant last year) so maybe it was an optical illusion. ;)

I met up with Syrus & Family at the Emerald Fields playground in Dublin last weekend. Good thing we met up early, because we were roasting in the sun by the end of the session! Syrus was a good sport, though, and we got some great posed and candid images!
