Hello Aubrey….

Posted on February 24, 2009

Seriously? I mean seriously? How is it possible for a less than 6 week old baby to look THIS jaw-dropping gorgeous. I can’t get enough of these pictures. I mean it. Aubrey was a complete joy to work with (as if she had a choice in the matter, though). I have seen in two successive newborn sessions that the sound of my camera shutter is extremely fascinating to these little ones. I was nearly propositioned by one set of parents to come and “shoot” again, say at around 3am?? Julie and Eric, you guys have a heart breaker on your hands… I wish you blessings and the best for the years to come with this little princess.

Clients or Friends?

Posted on February 9, 2009

Or client-friends?

Susan is definitely just that…. a client-turned-friend. I shot hers and Greg’s wedding in November of 2007 in Baltimore, MD. (If you just can’t resist…. click on the november 2007 archives on the right side of this blog for another look at their fabulous wedding)

Susan and I have kept in contact here and there over the last year or so and I feel so blessed to actually be able to call her friend now, and not just “oh she was my client back in 2007.”

Today, I got the most amazing gift in the mail. Susan and Greg just spent a couple of weeks in India visiting her family there. She remembered how special India was/is to John and I and she picked us up “just a little something.” This gift is totally off the “thoughtfulness” scale to be sure. I was blown away. The card nearly brought me to tears. What a blessing to have client-friends in this business! Susan, thank you AGAIN for your kind thoughts and encouragement across the miles!

The outfits are for the girls and I and the colors are just perfect. We love ethnic clothes, food, accessories, jewelry… ok, just about anything ethnic. Especially Asian and Indian.

Speaking of business, check out Susan’s photography business HERE. She has such an amazing artistic and creative gift, which is seen so clearly through her photography. If you are ever in the Chicago area and are looking for a photographer, call this girl up!!!

Go say hey to her and enjoy some beautiful photography:

GOOD ELEPHANT PHOTOGRAPHY

Meet Camden…

Posted on February 9, 2009

Matt and Christi are dear friends from church… You may remember Christi’s ridiculously hot preggo pics several weeks back (yup, she’s the one in the header on this blog). Well, their little bundle of joy has arrived and here he is! Also, I just had to include some details shots of his nursery… Christi really outdid herself here. Holy cow! As for Camden…. the kiddo has a thing for cameras. Whenever I would start shooting continuously, he would immediately stop crying and follow the sound of my camera clicking. It was so cute. I think Matt and Christi were seriously considering dropping some serious $$ and hiring me and my camera for night duty.
