Summer 2011…Hume Lake. It doesn’t get any better than this!
It’s difficult to photograph babies that aren’t sitting up yet. Especially with their older siblings. In this case, I had a super sweet big sister that was able to hold him, but sometimes a big sister’s arms can get tired or sometimes you’re not so lucky to have a big sister. So, I rely on baskets. It’s the perfect way to prop up a baby. Siblings can get close and interact without having the pressure of NOT BREAKING THE BABY. 🙂
If a basket isn’t available, I’ll have everyone lie down. OR…if the baby falls asleep and is not longer able to sit up on their own.
Here’s what I’ve been up to lately! Oh yeah and when’s it gonna get warmer? Isn’t winter over yet??
Love this guys swoopy hair and extra long eyelashes!!

Almost a year ago, I photographed Colin with his big sister Zoe. I love when toddler siblings give me such honest expressions…the new baby is greeted with great curiosity!
Colin was so agreeable…hello baby number 3! This shot of him on the vintage suitcase is one of my favorites. Not all newborns will fall asleep on a hard surface like this…only the deep sleepers. 🙂
Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to lately…
I’ve shared from time to time on the blog about opportunities that come my way. Sometimes they come into fruition and sometimes they don’t…and sometimes they take FOREVER! I’ve been working with Shutterfly for months on a few projects and was so excited to see my photos all over their baby announcement page on the website…yeah!
Here’s the splash page: (my photo is the baby girl in the middle)
Here are a few of the individual card designs.

About 6 months ago, I photographed my good friend Laura’s baby Lincoln. I love working with her because she pushes me out of my comfort zone. And this time it would be getting a newborn to balance on a not-so-cuddly ottoman from West Elm. Oh yeah, and add in a toddler. We rocked it out and it was worth all the blood, sweat and tears!
Now that Lincoln is coming up on 6 months, it’s fun to see how he and Hudson interact together. Even from the start, Hudson was super into his little bro.
