I was so thrilled when I heard the news that my childhood friend was expecting and even more excited when she contacted me for photos of her sweet baby.  And what an absolutely beautiful boy he is!  Arriving a bit behind schedule and well worth the wait, sweet Preston was almost 10 pounds.  There is something about big babies that melts me… maybe it’s because my own were big themselves.  Those chubby arms, the elbow dimples and those big, kissable cheeks.   I couldn’t help but admire his perfection as I waited for him to fall into a deep sleep… such a perfect little man…

Capturing simple images of parents and their newborns is a favorite of mine.   There is nothing like holding your baby close to you, feeling his warmth, his newness, that sweet baby smell.  I always hope my simple images can someday take parents back to those earliest of days when their baby fit into the palm of their hand…

Thank you so much, Kim and Erik for bringing baby Preston to me and for being so wonderful during our session.  He is simply perfect.
