It was a HOT ONE last night when we trekked all the way out to Smithfield to try out a new location! We originally had talked about this session on the beach, but I usually dissuade those with babies under 2 from the beach unless they are very comfortable little beach babes! The humid air made me a sweaty mess, but they held it together wonderfully! I am so excited to share these few with you all! Enjoy!

Ask any photographer and they will tell you that the more challenging ages to photograph children are about 3-4 months old and then about two years old.  This family session was double the challenge with BOTH those ages!   Now, I have a two year old who lives in my house, so I know exactly how to work with that age and pulled out all my usual tricks.  I first photographed him about a year ago and then his baby sister right after she was born – and we put up with all the pouts in order to get some really sweet family beach photos.  Enjoy your sneak peek!!

Although I have decided not to schedule family sessions in the future, (as my focus has turned to maternity, birth, newborns and babies) I am always available for “my” families – those for whom I’ve photographed in the past.  Especially since, in many cases, I’ve photographed these babies from when they were in their mommies bellies, (sometimes their birth!), their precious first days, and many times captured them as they’ve grown throughout their first year!

Here are two of my recent family captures:

It has been a VERY busy weekend, but I wanted to give a peek into the Mommy & Me Mini-Sessions from Saturday.  The weather was perfect and I think the most beautiful mothers in the area came out to meet me!  Here is just one from each:

You may have noticed a bit of change going on around the blog and Facebook page….my new logo design is nearly finished and I am SO excited to be re-branding with a focus on maternity, birth, and newborn photography!!  With this branding change, I am also changing a bit of my offerings and you’ll slowly start to see those changes reflected in my galleries, pricing, and packages over the next few months.  The biggest change is that I will no longer be offering family sessions in my regular calendar.   I know that may surprise some of you – but those who know me know that my heart really is called to capture the precious time surrounding a baby’s birth.  Therefore, I want to be able to open my calendar to maternity, birth, newborn, and baby’s first year sessions.  I will still offer family mini-sessions once or twice a year (always in the fall for holiday cards and probably in the spring as I did this year) but I will only be booking a select few families each month and will try to reserve those sessions for current or former clients (you know I love you all!).  All new family inquiries will be referred to other wonderful photographers in the area.

So, without further ado, here are a few snaps of each of the Spring Family Mini-Sessions held this past weekend!  The day was GORGEOUS and the warm, glowing sunlight made the perfect backdrop for our mini-sessions!
