Welcome, baby Aaron! Seriously one of the happiest babies I have met. Aaron is all smiles, almost all of the time. I just realized I picked some of his more quiet moments… but these are my favorites! He has those beautiful blue eyes, and rolls of baby fat. His parents are head over heels in […]

When I was editing these images yesterday, Dave looked over my shoulder and said, “Wow - cute kid!” And I laughed because he didn’t recognize baby Nico, whom I have photographed both at six months old and one year old!

Everyone left wet and sandy, […]

She was adorable in her baby jeans and festive red sweater. I’ve already got some ideas for her holiday cards… but for now, it’s all about her! Thanks to Rob and […]
