I’m always impressed when parents have the restraint to be surprised by the sex of their baby in the delivery room. But this family was really surprised, to even be there in the first place! This little girl decided to make her entrance three weeks early! She just couldn’t wait to meet them! And with good reason, quite honestly. They are awesome – such a great, supportive team for each other already. Mama has this mommy thing down, even her own mom was impressed. Daddy, too. And, he is just in love with his little girl, too, there was no hiding that. It was easy to see all of the love in this house!
Anyway, thanks, J and J, your baby is darling. I know you know that, I only told you ten million times. And, thank you, baby H, for waiting until I was done! Can’t wait to show you the rest of these. And there are a lot! :)

I was so happy to be going back to see this family on Saturday!  Mr. X and his parents are some of my most favorite clients ever!  I wind up chatting with both parents half of the time because they are so cool.  Mom and Dad have made all of these really cool things for Baby X, from drool bibs to shoes!  Meaning, they created their own patterns, sewed them (Dad is really the one who can take the credit for this part), everything.  They’re just cool, interesting and fun.  Not to mention, they impress neurotic little me with how laid back they are!   (They let me put temporary tattoos on their six month old baby.  Let me?  They were happy to, because they had their own!)  I was also happy once I got there, because this boy who I photographed as a newborn has become the sweetest, smiliest, most darling boy ever.  They say he was putting on a show for me, that he’s not always that sweet, but I don’t believe them.  Anyway, K family, it was so great to hang out with you and chat.  Hope you love these as much as I do!  Many more to come, but I was excited to get a few quick ones up to show you.

I’m biased, I admit it.  But I still think I was lucky to have an entire morning with this sweet, pretty girl, walking all over Philly, changing outfits, finding great little spots, laughing, and having a little snack on a gorgeous nearly summery morning.  I’m biased because I’ve been best friends with her mom since we were fourteen, and remember visiting miss O in the hospital when she was born.  But, I still know a pretty girl when I see one.  So, thanks, Miss O, for entertaining my son, for your trick where you got yourself to not smile so much (we should all have such problems!), for wearing those awesome boots even though it was swelteringly hot, and for freaking out the angry guy behind you and your mom on the steps with your silly discussion.  And thanks to you, Awesome Friend, for packing up good outfits and letting your kid stand in an alley behind a restaurant in her good clothes.  Love you both!

I spent Sunday morning with the sweetest and hungriest one month old cutie!  His mama and grandmom were on hand to feed this boy many bottles as we all marveled at his hungriness!  This boy is definitely growing; at this rate, he’ll be a basketball star in no time!  His mom was great at keeping up – she sure seemed more like an old pro than a first time mom.  Baby D is one loved and lucky boy.

Don’t miss the awesome mural in his nursery, done by his very talented aunt!  S, I hope you enjoy then sneak peek!

And, my favorite from the session.

This morning, I got to spend some time with baby J and his parents.  Finally!  Our original shoot date had to be switched after we got an additional oh, 20 inches or so of snow!  So, I was glad to finally get to meet this smiley man and his parents.  He was a delight!  What a darling little boy you have, R and J.  It was his parents quick thinking that got me there earlier than we had originally planned, but just in time to capture all of the happiness that this darling little guy was beaming out!  There was definitely a lot of love going on at this place!  R and J, it was great meeting you and talking mohels.  I hope you enjoy the sneak peek.

How could you not love this smile?  So cute!
