it’s a beautiful world! [durham baby portrait photographer]

October 26, 2009

Okay.  Is Camille a doll or what?  Such gorgeous eyes.  And so in love with mommy and daddy.  Camille was so patient with me as we trekked all over Duke Gardens.  As long as her dad was singing the 50’s style ditty she was beaming!   And then, Camille discovered the most amazing things . . . scroll down and you’ll see!

We had a wonderful session guys - many more images to come!

welcome! [chapel hill newborn lifestyle photographer]

I always love the opportunity to photograph families in their own home.   It’s intimate, real, and, of course, sweet.  This family was so awesome.   A beautiful home - and I loved the way mom had decorated each room.  Little Paddy, 14 days old in these, had a Cat in the Hat theme.  And what a sweet baby ~ beautiful, content, and SO alert.  Already starting to roll to his side for heaven’s sake.  And no, he didn’t sleep one wink while I was there!  His big sis and brother were so much fun - lots of laughs and so interested in their new little brother.  Here are just a few from our time together.  More to come soon guys!

Ray, their dog, was present for much of our session.  I like the way he’s so good-naturedly guarding mom and baby.  And the foot. . . I will admit I just love baby feet.  Here, Paddy was wrapped in a beautiful blanket knitted by his godmother.

Swaddled in a very special baptismal blanket. . .

and here are Sam and Abby.  LOVE this picture. .  .

this was on “dancing rock”. . . so named by their family because it’s so flat you can dance on it.  LOVED that.   Such an endearing family. . .
