Happy Birthday, Baby J!!!!

I think the images speak for themselves. What a day! To the proud parents: you were a beautiful team and thank you so much for letting me be part of this miracle today. My heart swells to think how of healthy and happy your precious baby is and of all the joys you have yet to experience as you watch him grow. Sleep well tonight (ha!). Beautiful, beautiful baby!!!

And guess what I happened to see on the way home from the hospital? I kid you not:

Love,

Michele

Baby Blues

A few quick pics from today's session. My, those peepers!!!!

Soooo cute, but unfortunately, this picture

was about all she'd let us have in her cute suit.

Loved this...like she's floating down from heaven.

She had the cutest Pinkle Toes!

And this would be one of my favs from today!

Time to start thinking holidays!

Crazy, huh? Well, I have some good news and bad news regarding this holiday season. The good news is that my baby sister is getting married in November (yay!). The bad news is that the event is seriously going to limit the amount of time I can dedicate to holiday portraits, gifts, and cards this year. So, if you have your heart set on a holiday session this year, please, please, please be sure to visit the pricing section of http://www.pinkletoes.com/ for important information regarding holiday bookings and card designs. (How do you like the holiday card collection preview? More to come...)

Another incredibly fun image!

incredible.

That's the only way to describe tonight's session. Incredible couple, incredible locations, incredible lighting, incredible everything. Thank you so much (you know who you are) for letting me do this. What an amazing evening and I hope this will give you something to treasure. I still cannot believe how lucky I was to have this opportunity. It was an artist's dream. And would you even believe these are just the tip of the iceberg? Truly, there isn't a bad image in the bunch. My word.

DINO-mite!!!

I had a prehistoric adventure today with this dino expert, complete with high humidity, unusually large and hungry bugs, and a pesky T-Rex that chased us all over the place! Doesn't he have the most amazing eyes?

I've been dying to do a shot in front of this landmark:

And this one above in the "jungle" is my personal fav from today.

In spite of the mosquitos and looming clouds, we managed to pull off a session today. Little man was quite the trooper. Who'd have thought tangerines would prove to be so fascinating? Who'd have thought we would end up doing most of the session holed up under a freeway?

My little Sparkler

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe 4th!
