Baby One More Time...

We spent an afternoon with Aggie, Tony and Lucas while we were in California. I photographed Aggie during her first pregnancy with Lucas, and was so excited to do it again with baby Thomas! Last time, we did a beachy, soft, dreamy shoot, which I will share sometime soon! This time, Aggie wanted to add a little more edge, so we opted for a cool location and a more styled look. She is such a babe, and so full of fire, it gives me hope that I could be foxy if I were to have another baby! Obviously, Aggie is the satr of this show, but Lucas gave a great (hilarious) performance and even Tony softened up and gave us some real smiles!




















Congrats to them on a healthy, happy little boy!  Thomas, I can't wait to meet you!!!

Oh Baby, Baby...

I photographed the über adorable Smith family on our last trip to California. Jason and Kim were having their first baby together, and couldn't be more excited.  They decided not to find out if it was a boy or a girl, so it felt even more exciting - was it going to be Reina or Colton that they would meet in a short time and change their lives forever?  Make sure you look at the whole post to find out!!














               
And the winner is......





 
Congratulations guys!!! He is gorgeous! And if anyone is in love with that custom-made metal hanger, let me know! Kim made it! What an adorable keepsake, right?!

Featured...

Woo hoo!
We wanted to share another feature we just had. This time, it is not wedding related, it is baby related! Remember Robyn + Joe? Well, they were featured on On To Baby twice for their maternity shoot

and also for their beautiful nursery that we shot back in February in New York.

Well, they have been featured again, but this time on Lil Sugar! You can check out the short, but sweet post by clicking here!

And, for the record, the room is Robyn and Joe's nursery and a guest room - this post mentions that it is their bedroom, but they are some of the lucky ones who don't have to live in a NYC shoebox.

Happy Mother's Day, UK...

in honor of mother's day here in the uk, i thought i would do a post related to being / becoming a mom! i remember my first mother's day, and it was very special to me - and i think they will keep getting better, especially once jax can make me breakfast in bed! so, on to our mommy to be!

on my trip to new york, i made a pit stop to shoot a maternity session with robyn + joe. they are expecting a little one soon - hunter, if he is a boy; or scarlett is she is a girl (how cute are those names?!) robyn and joe went to rival universities, so we had to throw in the villanova / rutgers swag...it was so them! i think joe is hoping for a son to take to some rutgers games - but you never know, his daughter might want to go too! we had a great time together - laughed a lot, and made some great images that they can treasure forever.

now, you are all going to swoon over the beautiful nursery and beautiful details that robyn put together for the shoot (including her shoes!). she is so stylish and probably one of the hottest pregnant women ever!

































we are so excited for robyn + joe! thank you for letting me be a part of such a special time in your lives, and i can't wait to meet little scarlett or hunter one day.
