closeShe is perfect. Perfect fingers. Perfect toes. Perfect nose. Perfect. It never ceases to amaze me to photograph babies. I love their teenyness and their beautiful perfectness. Caleigh was no exception. She is perfect.
When you sleep on a nursing home floor in the middle or New York City together, you grow tight bonds with people! Kirstjen, Josh, my husband Kevin and I all went to college together. We thought we knew each other well, but it wasn’t until we all flew out to NYC to Kirstjen’s sister Shannon’s wedding that we got to know each other even better!! While driving home from the wedding with her parents, a huge storm blew in causing a power line to go down at the home we were staying in. Police had deemed the road impassable and the home dangerous because of the live power lines. A relative of Keith’s worked at the nursing home, so she hooked us up with a place to wait out the storm and hopefully get into the home we were staying in within a few hours. A few hours turned into a very long, hilarious and memorable night. One that I will never forget and one that makes it so much fun to see the Peters family!
Here are just a few from the session that we laughed through; I can’t wait for our next one!!
Welcome back Monday! Some sneakys from the weekend!

He makes her laugh and he thinks she is the prettiest thing out there. And their girls adore both of them!
JP and Audra are kind, caring, generous and completely down to earth. I just love spending time with them and am thankful for clients like them turned friends. Our session was me against the light. We didn’t have much to work with, but we got in some great shots of this beautiful family!
If you have been following this blog for even a year, you have seen these beautiful kids on the blog. They are up on the header mainly because they are so stinkin cute, and are my best friends’ kids. (20 years of friendship, and she gets dibs on the headers!!) I just love having sessions with these guys, and this early morning session actually came off of a late night of dinner and chatting. We were all guzzling down the caffeine, but the kids did amazing, and look at Laura and her hubby Jonathan… aren’t they just as adorable as their kiddos!! It is an honor to photograph you all. Here’s to many more sessions, late nights and morning coffee! Love you all!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
