My dear friend Jamie and her husband Steve just had a baby! This is little Dylan Jacob at about two months, with his doggie brother Charlie at home in San Diego. Dylan is pretty stinking cute, especially when his mama dresses him like a snuggle bear.
Remember April and Arthur and April's big tummy? Well, here's their new little girl, Chloe. I had the opportunity to meet and photograph her yesterday, and she is super adorable. I have not been around many newborns, and so I'm always amazed by how tiny these little babies are. She is actually smaller than most as her newborn clothes are even too big for her. Chloe was such a good baby throughout her first official photo shoot, and April and Arthur couldn't stop smiling throughout as their gazed at their baby. Congratulations to this sweet family!
I'm an only child, and for my whole life, I've been the youngest one on my mom's side of the family. That is, until a few weeks ago when my cousin Stephanie gave birth to baby Marcella June. She is such a cutie, and I got to meet her about a week after she was born. I don't really have much experience photographing newborns, but Steph and I had a great time trying to stylize little Marcella and figuring out ways to prop her up. I'm sure this is just the first of many photo sessions to come!
So, here's to a new generation of little girls in our family! I found this old picture of me as a baby with my cousins Tammany (holding me) and Stephanie:
P.S. Don't forget that we're donating 50% of our family portrait sessions booked now through the end of April to the Japan disaster relief fund.
I'm happy to introduce May Lu, or rather "Little Lu" to everyone. Momo gave birth in May, and I met up with her, Thay Thay, and the rest of their family for pictures of May Lu when she was one month old! Of course, Thay Thay hammed it up and was the life of the party, but he's just getting geared up to be the best big brother ever!
