Hannah...all Grown Up

Hannah will be celebrating her Bat Mitzvah in May. I photographed her sister's Bat Mitzvah a few years ago, and I cannot believe how much she has grown. She is a beautiful young lady now. It gets me all teary-eyed to think about it, because I am trying to savor every moment with my own daughter, and I see how quickly time flashes by. It's definitely an eye-opener.

Looking forward to the BIG DAY!

Welcome to the World, Phoenix!

Heidi and Derek welcomed their beautiful baby boy, Phoenix into this world in October. What a precious little joy he is. Seeing the sparkle in his parents eyes was wonderful to witness. These are just some of my favorites from our photo session.

Lola, Part II

These images are from our second portrait session of this little cutie. I can't get enough of her. What a beautiful combination of her gorgeous Mommy and Daddy!

Swartzon Family

Kristie Swartzon recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Sasha. Kristie and Saar also have an adorable 3 year-old (soon-to-be 4) daughter, Teah. This little cutie pie was dressed like a princess when I arrived and she was more than ready to have her picture taken. I was very impressed with her immediatley. She was so smart and focused. She listened to everything I said and took my direction better than most adults do. WOW! I was even lucky enough to capture Sasha's spontaneous smile while she looked directly into my lense. Saar's Mother and Father joined us on a quick outting to their neighborhood lake and country club for some family portraits. The grandparents emphasized to me how important it was for them to have their picture taken with their grandaughter's (these are their first). Needless to say, I had a wonderful time photographing this lovely family.
