The sisters made it into the studio this evening. Isabelle is a 'regular'...and Caitlin is her brand new baby sister! I could photograph Isabelle all day long. She's so photogenic! Here's a few from our session:
You might remember Baby Caitlin from her pictures HERE. Well, now she's in person! I got to sneak some quick pics of her today. Caitlin was born with HLHS or Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. The whole left side of the heart which pumps the blood to the body is underdeveloped and small and is unable to perform that function. Cailtin had open heart surgery at ONE day old! Luckily, she has a doctor for a dad and a nurse for a mom. She was home in just TWO weeks (versus 3-4 months)! She's just gorgeous too! You would have never known she had open heart surgery by looking at her. I'm going to bring her into the studio in a week or two for some fun stuff - but here's some from today:
Halle came over to play today. The girls got dressed in their best 'costumes' and we headed into the studio. I think they feel like supastars. Bea even asked if I would do a 'movie' for them. She loves to see the slideshows with music. Whenever she hears the music start she runs in to see who's 'wedding' I'm working on. Here's a few from their 'rock-star' session:
I found this artist/designer (Abraham Hernandez) while on my search for the coolest stuff in Atlanta. He owns Beauti-Faux Finishes. There is NO way you could call this guy just a 'painter'..his stuff is fabulous! Some of the houses he decorates are out of this world!
Here's a cute one that isn't your traditional Valentine Card... This is another photographer's design (with my little photo of Isabelle) she was so kind to share with me!
I just did a little Valentine card because I liked this shot of my brother and my son. Which, by the way, my brother IS single if anyone out there is looking for a Valentine! I couldn't do reds and pinks for the boys.
My niece turned one on January 1st. Yep, she's a New Year's Baby. She was a wild woman on her birthday! Of course, my brother couldn't get her cleaned-up fast enough after she went kung-fu on her birthday cake. (She's their first child - those of you who have kids..know what I mean)...anyway - She had a 'Pet Shop' Themed Birthday because she loves dogs. Here's a few pics:
My good friend had her baby today. This is her third. Two boys..and now a girl. She's a perfect little baby. I really enjoyed holding her. The best part, I got to be the FIRST to change her diaper! Me! That's right. The second best part..I got to photograph her just hours after she was born. When she gets a bit older we'll bring her into the studio. I'm so happy for Amy & Chris. Amy was just on Cloud Nine today (maybe it's the drugs)...but she was so excited to have this new person in her life. Her boys came by and they weren't sure at first but then warmed up and started asking lots of questions..like..'How did they get her out?' It was so much fun! They have such a great family and Amy is so blessed and I'm so blessed to call her my friend. Here's some of their pics:
I have no idea what you would wear these Christian LaCroix shoes but aren't they cute???? I would never PAY that much for these shoes...I could put 700 bucks toward the purchase of a pretty nice lens...cute..but maybe for $29.95...and do you think that is velcro where the 'buckle' should be? $700 bucks for velcro shoes???? Maybe they velcro on themselves.
Oh, so stinkin' cute! Here's a few from their session...the littlest one (with the snowflake) is the cousin of the older two. Her name is Polly Sunshine Gold. Really. Isn't that just the cutest name! Brody & Charlie (the older two) were just so sweet and just had the most beautiful eyes - what a joy to photograph.
