{Kara}

I'm using Miss Kara's Sneak Peek as my Photo of the Day seeing as how her mom and dad have been looking forward to these pictures, and I've been excited to share them! Kara was such a good baby the day of her shoot! She smiled, she posed, and she put up with me changing around the backgrounds, wraps, and props like a champ. You would think that after two hours of shooting she'd be completely done with all of us, yet she kept up her happy demeanor. The only time she got fussy was when her dad (or mom) kissed her on her cheek. For some reason that is just not cool, man! :o) I had a tough time narrowing down which ones to share as I have so many favorites from this session. Kara has some of the greatest expressions I've ever seen, plus she's absolutely beautiful (as are her parents)! I wish I lived closer so I could "visit" at least once a month and snap away.

I'm including a storyboard I quickly put together, although I plan to polish these up when I have more time. They're something you can actually purchase and can be customized in a ton of different ways. I love 'em!

Maybe it's because I'm a wee bit hormonal, but this picture literally choked me up when I came across it during my editing today. The love these two have for their little girl is so strong that they didn't need any direction when it came to letting me capture it. Although I still have a lot more to go through, and will do a larger "Sneak Peek" soon, I had to share this one today.

Today has been a long, but super wonderful day! I drove up to Maine to photograph this long-awaited, and most adorable, baby girl--and she was more than worth the drive! There will be more coming from this session for sure, however this one just had to be my photo of the day. She's rocking that cute featherband I got from Etsy that I posted about HERE, plus her eyes are to die for! Be sure to check back for the full Sneak Peek coming soon!

{Brian + Rebecca}

I traveled up to Maine to photograph this adorable couple who are expecting their first baby. Rebecca has one of those smiles that can light up an entire room and their love for one another is so endearing. Some of my favorite images from the sitting came from me just letting them be themselves. They also have two of the sweetest little beagles I've ever met. As I'm still heavily in editing mode--and fighting the flu--I will be posting a couple more from this session (including the puppies) later. Thank you Brian and Rebecca for inviting me to capture this highly anticipated moment in your lives! I can't wait to meet your new little one!
