Mr. baby I

You may remember two of the three of these boys from a few months back.  I did an impormptu mini-shoot for the boys back when their momma was pregnant with baby #3.  We soon found out that she would be blessed with another little boy and now here he is.  I have been looking forward to getting my lens at a newborn baby for quite some time.  I got to see him in the hospital and grab a few 1st day shots and then followed up with a full blown shoot today.  He is absolutely adorable, as are his brothers, and of course, his momma.  Dad had to head out but i think he will approve anyways. :)

this...now this is what i enjoy doing more than anything.  New babies as they enter into the world are the most exquisite little things.  Maternity and babies....i could do this every day! :)

Ok i've taunted you enough with the distance shots...let's get into some of those sweet baby boy portraits...

of all the little expressions i caught during the day this was the best...

...being a male model is rough...

 in need of a break!!

can i say how much i love this hat...

Welcome to the world baby I...may God bless you immeasurably...

Melissa & Andre Maternity

I had the great pleasure of photographing a wonderful time in the life of Melissa and Andre...they are awaiting their first baby and there could not be a more perfect couple.  I know these two can't wait to share their amazing love with another little soul.  Melissa, you are a beautiful pregnant woman and you just glow with joy.  You are going to be an amazing momma, and Andre...you are just going to love this baby more than you can even know, and be a wonderful daddy.  I wish you guys all the best!

one of my faves of the day...

Andre kept reading his book in a funny voice and cracking Melissa up.  She tried to fight the laughter but I just told her to let it out...

we were done shooting for the day but Melissa decided she needed some ice cream, and then we passed this perfect little pink house....sorry it's pink Andre.... :)



Andre was going for sweet here but i love Melissa's expression...

i have to say that this is my favorite shot of the day.  I just love how it symbolizes the two of them + their new addition so well.

thank you for letting me photograph you on the hottest day of the year!  :)
