Lanie's Infant Session

Some of you may remember the very first baby portraits we ever did, for a sweet little girl named Alexis. Well, Alexis is now two years old, and big sister to 3 month old Lanie. Coming back to her home for a few portraits of little Lanie was a special treat for us--when we arrived, we were so excited and honored to see our photographs gracing her family's walls and coffee tables. It really made our day!

It's amazing how different two sisters can be--they looked so different at this age, and we could already see the differences in their personalities. Alexis still loves the camera as much as ever, while Lanie prefers more of a photojournalistic approach. :) We really had a great time with their beautiful family, and we can't wait to return in a few months for more!

Meet Elsa

Meet Elsa. She is the newest addition to Kelly & Pat's family, one of our 2008 wedding couples who are now dear friends. When Kelly & Pat told us that they were expecting, we were so excited for them! We knew that we just had to take her newborn photos--I mean how could we not? Look at their cute little girl!

We had a wonderful afternoon hanging out with little Elsa and photographing her in her new world. Kelly & Pat, it's been such a privilege for us to document the beginning of your journey into marriage, and now parenthood as well! Thank you for your friendship and for trusting us with your family's memories.

Madeline: a newborn session

Our friends Paige and Tim just welcomed a brand new baby girl into their home, and as soon as they saw their precious little daughter, they asked us if we would take some newborn photos. To say that we had a wonderful time would be an understatement. Sweet little Madeline slept for nearly four hours, and was very happy to settle into each new setting we placed her in. We couldn't have asked for a better model for our first newborn session! Paige & Tim, congratulations--she really is as beautiful as you think she is. :) We love you! ~Airika

We found this bowl in Paige & Tim's cupboard and the red wall was just begging to be our background.

Tim's mom knitted this beautiful little blanket for her granddaughter.

Paige had asked for a photo of Madeline in this basket, and since she had decorated the nursery with orange fabric, we thought it would be fun to wrap her up in it like a present.

Madeline had her first home bath right at the beginning of her photo session. I love her expression--I'm sure you would feel the same way! :)

This photo of their new family is one of my favorites from the session.

Perfection.

Welcome to the world Madeline!
