the session: mommy-to-be Melissa & the girls

I had the distinct pleasure of starting a Babies First Year project with Melissa and her beautiful family. This is the first installment of the session: the maternity session. Since Melissa has two daughters, we decided to include them in the session as well.

I’m sure I don’t need to state the obvious, but Melissa’s little girls are absolutely ravishing! Just look at those eyes….they surely have their mom’s eyes and beauty! And Melissa had great energy and looked as fresh as a daisy at 8 months pregnant!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with our Babies First Year package, we offer a year long session, which is broken down into smaller sessions: maternity, newborn, 4 months, 8 months and 12 months. All of these magical moments are captured photographically and then custom designed into an heirloom album!

Look for our new portrait website launching soon! It will include our new galleries and plenty of information on our fantabulous Naples Babies First Year session!

Special thanks go out to Melissa, Emily, Kate and soon-to-arrive baby for letting me capture a bit of your family’s most perfect day!

session: welcome to the world baby Hayden!

I had the honor of photographing three-day old baby Hayden’s first set of portraits. What a little trooper! After a bottle and a diaper change, he was rip-roaring ready to go. Not one peep out of this little guy the entire shoot, too. Now, if only all my portraits were this easy. :) Check out his mom’s maternity session directly beneath his portraits.

Thanks Hayden and mom and dad! Welcome to this big beautiful world! What a perfect day…
