Sweet little Ameya was absolutely perfect when she came to studio at 7 days old!

Aanchal had a clear vision of what she wanted for Ameya’s newborn shoot: lots of pink for her little girl and

family images that depicted all the happiness and emotion she and Alok have as first time parents.

We created a vision in pink – a perfect fit for this little princess!  I just about died over all the headbands and tutus!

And the love and joy that Aanchal and Alok have over their sweet girl is clearly overflowing.

Congratulations again, A&A!   Ameya is so beautiful and blessed!

I shot Ingrity’s sister’s wedding last year (which was featured on Wedding Chicks last week!).

It was such a special time for the family since Ingrity got married a month before her sister!

I got to meet this lovely girl when both Gabi and Ingrity wanted to do a joint sister/sister bridal portrait session!

It’s still one of my favorite sessions to date!

—————

I was thrilled when Ingrity wanted to me to shoot a First Anniversary Love Shoot for her and her husband.

We met on the most beautiful spring day in one of my favorite locations in Highland Park!

(Check out that amazing purple blossoming tree below!)

It was obvious that Ingrity and Michael only had eyes for each other and still very much in love!

Ingrity even brought her amazing romantic wedding dress for a little bride+groom action.

I loved every image from this session and hope you do too!

Anita and Pasha brought their precious little girl to the studio and Rhea could not get enough of our big green field!

She ran, twirled, picked flowers and had a grand old time while we chased after her!

Meanwhile, I couldn’t get enough her bouncy curls and big eyes!  Such a little beauty!

I also had some time to get some lovely couple shots for her gorgeous parents.

I love the bright and colorful clothes Anita chose for the session, all the colors POPPED against the lush green scenery!

Thanks for coming to the studio, you are such a beautiful family!

I’ve known Patty for many years now!  She taught at my high school, she moved down the street from my family, and her son Jefferson is one of my brother’s best friends.

She and Cary have been married for over 12 years and they have never had a large family session before.

The entire family was traveling from all over to visit for Easter weekend and Patty knew it was the perfect time to schedule a session!

It was such a joy to photograph their beautiful growing family!

I mean, what a good looking family, yes?

Enjoy their session!

at their maternity session at White Rock Lake (one of my favorite maternity session!)

Varun came to the studio with his parents and didn’t disappoint!  He was the cutest little boy with big eyes and the most gorgeous head of dark curls!

Rukmini and Praveen, I loved spending time with you and Varun on that (muddy) Saturday morning!

Enjoy your images!

This gorgeous mama to be and her sweet husband Brandon came to the studio on such a beautiful day for their maternity session.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, maternity sessions are my favorite to photograph!

There is just something so joyful about two people awaiting to meet their little one!

Plus, isn’t Natalie just the prettiest pregnant lady ever?

I loved the bright yellow and corals that she chose for her session against the rustic backdrop of the studio.

I adore every image from their session!  I hope you do too!

This little miracle baby came to the studio at 2 weeks old and was as sweet as can be!

Once we got him sleepy enough, he rocked his first photo-session!

He came with his lovely parents, Lucy and Alberto, and well as his auntie and grandmother who were such a big help for the shoot.

The weather was just nice enough to pull him out for a few outdoor shots at the studio, which I love!

Baby Henry, you are loved!!

Oh my goodness, little Alex is THE CUTEST!  I’ve been photographing her ever since she was in her mama’s belly!

She was the sweetest newborn and now at 1 year old, she is now the prettiest little girl and ALL personality!

Her parents, Lan and Herman, are good friends of mine and I just loved how Lan styled the session with these lovely pinks and corals and accents in blue.

I loved having this beautiful little family at the studio where Alexandra got to run around to her heart’s delight and I got to capture her adorable smile!

Brigitte is an amazing hematology-oncology nurse who is about to have her second daughter, Harper.

She came with her sweet husband Brian and pretty daughter Peyton to my studio in Arlington for her maternity session

This family is so funny and laid-back together, we had such a great time!

Their bright purple and pink outfits were adorable together and then they changed into some Valentine themed outfits for some V-day fun!

An interesting fact:  Brigitte and Peyton are both the animal snake in the Chinese Zodiac.

These year is the year of the Snake so baby girl is going to be a Snake too!

We joked that Brian was going to do be dealing with a handful of ladies this year!

I just love how all of these images turned out and how you can see how truly excited everyone is for the arrival of Harper!

Brigitte is just a glowing, beautiful mama!!

Thanks for coming to the studio, Brigitte, I can’t wait to meet baby H!

Anna and Orkun came to the studio on an early February morning to shoot their family portraits.

When Kaya bounced out of the car door, ran into my arms, and proudly showed me his new white shoes, I knew it was going to be a great portrait session!

He showed his beautiful little sister how to ham it for the camera with a big sweet smile and the greatest little laugh.

Alara enchanted me with her gorgeous curly blond hair and amazing blue eyes.

Of course these kiddos got their good looks and loving personalities from their parents!

I got to take a few portraits of mama Anna who is simply gorgeous!

We had a great morning shooting this sweet family and I love how each image reflects the love this family has for each other!
