Ian

Meet little Ian. Almost two weeks old and oh so perfect!

I drove down to Tucson for this session and it was so great to spend the afternoon with this family.

Ian's mom, Viviane, is also from Brazil and prepared the most delicious brazilian meal for us. Thank you so much, Vivi! The left over pao-de-queijo didn't even make it to the end of your street :)

Sorry, food always distracts me. Back to the pictures. A close-up of his perfectness. If that's not a real word, it should be, because that's the only way to describe this:
and this would be perfection:

I'm running out of words... How about... perfectly gorgeous family:

This melts my heart:
Is that a smile?
Seriously! How cute can one be!?!!
I had to post this next picture for three reasons:

1. These are Ian's dad's, David, old shoes (which makes it really really special and therefore blog-worthy)

2. They say RUFF STUFF in the back (which made me smile and I hope it makes you smile)

3. My husband couldn't stop laughing as he pointed out to me that even during a newborn session I find a way to photograph shoes (and I thought that might make you laugh too).

Vivi and David, thanks again so so much! You guys are so great! I wish we lived closer as I have a feeling we would be BFFs :) I hope I get to see you all again really soon.

Russo Family

How cute are they? I had so much fun with the Russo Family this last Saturday. It was pouring rain when I first got there, but the rain slowed down for a while and we got some great images. A huge thanks to the Russo Family for being so easy going, getting wet and enduring the cold in their cute spring clothes :)

Here's Jennifer and her cute family:

This is David and his cute girls (Lindsay and baby girl Gabriella):

I LOVE this image!

Although I know this one might not make an 11x14 frame at their house I absolutely love how much Jennifer and Cooper look alike on this one:


Happy Grandparents :)

Opie and Cleo

Oh yeah, and Gary and Amy too...








This photoshoot was all about Cleo. She's getting older and Amy and Gary wanted to make sure they had some portraits of her. Isn't she the cutest?
I do have to say that even though Cleo was the main reason for the shoot, Opie was definitely the rockstar of the day. Such a poser:



Amy and Gary, it was sooo nice to meet you. You guys are so fun! I hope you love these and let me know what Opie and Cleo think of them :)

Xander

When I got back from Mexico last Sunday, I had lots and lots of text messages waiting for me. I had to keep deleting so I could receive the next batch. Lots of them were for Christmas and Holiday wishes. Thank you so much everyone. I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you, I promise I will. Soon! And one of the texts was from Kat wanting to do a photoshoot with her son and her parents. I called her back and thankfully her parents were still in town! I am so glad we did this. I had a really great time and capture some awesome moments of this family together.

You might recognize Xander, as we did a shoot earlier in the year. Just him and Kat. It's amazing how much he has grown in such a short period of time.

Kat's parents were here all the way from Canada:

Xander is so much fun!

I think they have the same smile:

Kat is expecting again. Not really looking very pregnant yet, but we did a "belly shot" anyways:

Such a beautiful family:

Thanks, Kat. It's always a pleasure spending time with you and Xander and I absolutely adored your parents. I hope you enjoy these! Happy New Year :)
