You probably recognize this momma from some of her previous sessions with me. She originally booked a Baby's First Year plan with me but has since started pursuing a photography career of her own. Needless to say, her baby boy has become her little model and she no longer needs to pay someone else to take more photos of just him. However, she remained committed to the sessions she previously booked with me and we took this opportunity to approach this particular session as a family session instead so that I could get some great shots of the whole family together. As all photographers know, we are always the last to have our own family portraits taken. I was more than happy to adjust our original plan to what worked best for Samantha and her family. I love every time we get together. Being able to see Cohen grow has been such a joy. Not to mention, this family makes my job SO easy with their beauty - seriously! Here are some of my favorite images from their session.

I mean seriously, this little girl has already changed so much since just last Tuesday! Emma is hands down, the smiliest baby I've ever photographed. She even smiles on command! Coolest ever! Her mama just whispered sweet nothings in her ear, "smile babyyyy," and viola! What a precious little model they have. I am especially excited about the fact that she lives just down the road so I can visit her many times this year!

I love the way her newborn photos turned out. I am particularly happy about the mix of portraiture style and photojournalism style during this session. Both are image styles I truly enjoy taking. I love it when I have the opportunity to shoot both in one session. :)

Without further ado...
