Today was the PERFECT day for puddle jumping! Rain off and on, clear semi blue skies, lots of puddles and kids that want to have fun! These shoots are a blast because we let the kids run the show. Yep, you heard right! They run, have fun, and create the moments for us. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Dear rain, now that we have had the perfect day for puddle jumping can you please go away. We will start our search for a new rain outfit for next year soon. Thank you for watering my plants so I don’t have to but I think I can take over now. With love, Jessica.

Carlos contacted me about maternity portraits and let me tell you, when a husband contacts you about portraits you know it’s going to be awesome!!! Normally the wife calls and drags the husband along. I knew it was going to be a ton of fun and both of them were great. Look at how amazing she looks! Thank you both for a wonderful session and I can’t wait to meet baby Carson! Enjoy your sneak peek…

Oooooo I just want to eat them up! These two are definitely divas in training. Mom brought these adorable outfits and the set up went perfect! We even got Sasha to sit!!! Thank you guys for a wonderful session and as always is was great seeing you all and Grandma. Enjoy!

I even threw in an outtake for some smiles…this is my job and I LOVE IT! Being to close at 21 months and 6 months Mommy has her hands full but I bet they will be the best of sisters growing up!

I just can’t stop smiling when these kids don’t stop smiling. You know, the ones who smile non stop! It’s so contageous! Savannah is a “smiler”. She is so happy! This session was very special to me because she found me through a site on Etsy where I purchase Olivia’s clothes and from the moment she contacted me I was excited. You can see the site here called Sweet Plume. All of her outfits in this shoot were purchased there as well, even Mom’s shirt!

They live in San Diego and we’ve planned this session now for months. This session is very special because it is so close to her finalization date. Yes, this little girl is in the adoption process and they are nearing the end. They couldn’t be any happier! Her “Mom” is amazing and I feel as though I’ve known her forever. When the court date arrives we will all celebrate and I’ll send a million hugs your way Nikki! Enjoy your sneak peek…

Her finalization dress…

Baby Jessica has grown up so much! I just can’t believe it! When I first saw here she was sooo little, now she’s crawling all over the place and even trying to stand. Thank you guys for such a fun session, always a blast with you. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Janelle was a part of my belly and baby plan and you can see the maternity shoot HERE. For being 4 weeks old already she did amazing. And when I say amazing, I mean amazing! She was born early and spent a good bit in the hospital but none the less I am happy with our result. Not to go on and on but she did better than some newborns! Thank you for a great session and enjoy your sneak peek!

I am in love with Kasia’s eyes! It’s no wonder why this little girl wins so many pageants. This outfit was one of my favorites as well! Thank you for a fun session and as always it was wonderful to see you! Enjoy your sneak peek!

These three were so cute together yesterday. Ava did amazing holding her baby sister who is only 2 months old and Nick sat still the entire time. Imaging a 2 year old sitting still and listening the entire time! You both have awesome kids! Thank you both for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

I had to add an additional picture from Gianna’s session. It was too cute to pass up! Enjoy!!

Quinn’s mom set the whole color scheme up to fit his personality and boy did she hit the nail right on the head. I looooooove it! It’s totally rocked out and he looks adorable with it. Thank you for broadening my horizon with a new color scheme and for a wonderful session! Enjoy your sneak peek and Happy Birthday little man!!

Baby Naomi smiled! This little girl gave us the perfect grin at the perfect time! She has the most beautiful black hair and I could just eat her up! She did great and at just about 5 hours into the session we finished with some amazing shots and memories for a lifetime. Thank you both for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

Ahh, baby Zachery. Calm, collected, and cooool. This little man was an angel. Perfect. Need I say more? Here is a sneak peek from our wonderful session. And the kissing booth just in time for today, Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

You can see their materity session here.

Ok, don’t laugh at me. My vision for this shoot was with a garden backdrop but when I saw this amazing tree I fell in love. I mean isn’t a tree swing supposed to have a tree?!?! Well, I know “Enchanted Garden” sounds ridiculous now but that’s what it’s called!

Cutie Patooodie, right? This little cutie did not like her bow. But…what 1 year old does? I am in love with this picture and she even has her bow in! We had such a fun time and I’m sure you all would be rolling laughing if you saw what Mommy and I had to do to get this little girl smiling. Hilarious! Thank you for a fun session and enjoy your sneak peek!

Oh how Benjamin loved being at the studio! He loved it sooo much he wanted to stay all day!  He is such a cutie! I fell in love with his long toes and wrinkly skin! He is so long and all of his loose skin would bunch up into newborn goodness. Thank you for a wonderful session and here is a sneak peek!

The Easter duckling sessions are actually scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 19th and 20th.

Cash, isn’t that just the coolest name?? I love it! Mommy has an awesome name as well. And since we are on names, well…Daddy’s name is just Chris. Nothing too special but what a great family they are! You know, during newborn shoots (about 4 hours) we all get to know each other pretty well. They came from Saugus which is up north and not very close at all. Daddy had a special portrait that he wanted and I love the way it came out! The helmet pictured below with Cash traveled to Iraq with Daddy and is very special. Thank you both for a wonderful session, for coming so far to visit me and enjoy your sneak peek!

Sydney, oh how smart you are! This little girl blew me away! Maybe because I still think of her as a baby and she is growing up! She can recite “bah bah black sheep”, spell her name, and knows all of her ABC’s! I can’t remember when they are supposed to know that but she is so smart! Ok, back to the session. Well we went to the park for some tea party fun and balloons! I love the way these came out and am happy to know that Sydney enjoyed her afternoon with me. Mommy emailed me today and said that every morning she wakes up and one of the first things she says is “Tea party with Jessica?”. That’s my girl! Enjoy your sneak peek and as always, lovely seeing you two!
