Who: Eloise Orlee
What: Springtime baby portraiture of my 3-month old niece
I went to visit my brother, sister-in-law and baby niece in the spring just in time for Eloise to begin really smiling! We figured out that she loves getting her lips tickled as a sure fire way to get these adorable looks! What a cutie!
Who: Nova Joy
What: Baby portraiture
Where: Hong Kong
This is my adorable baby niece! Her family nickname is Peachy since she has a beautiful peach complexion and what is looking to be red peach fuzz hair. We couldn’t resist putting together this peach and flower basket photoshoot while I was visiting them in Hong Kong!
Who: Danielle, Rob and baby Nova Joy
What: In-home newborn session
Where: Repulse Bay, Hong Kong
Allow me to introduce you to my sister’s beautiful family! My niece Nova Joy was born in Hong Kong (where my sister has lived and worked for the last five years) and I got to visit them when Nova was a month old. I love her to pieces and am so proud of my sister and my brother-in-law for being amazing new parents!
What: Bookish in-home family and baby portrait session
Where: Seattle, WA
Lauren and I have been friends since 4th grade and I couldn’t be happier to photograph her family for her. She and her husband and baby live in beautiful Seattle and I was so excited to visit them and meet her baby when she was about three months old! Jo (short for Josephine) shares a name with one of our favorite literary heroines – Jo March from Little Women – so it was only fitting that we incorporated the book into their portrait session. Jo loves to listen to reading aloud, be it a picture book or book for grownups. What a little smartie!
Who: Vera
What: Baby portrait session featuring my college roommate’s beautiful one-month old baby daughter

Who: Kim, Nathan and baby Vera
What: In-home newborn family portrait session
Where: Chicago, IL
Kim and I were assigned to be roommates our first year at Oberlin College back in 2002. Little did I know we would still be friends 16 years later! Now she is a mama - I'm vkelmpt! I feel so lucky that we’ve got to share the big moments in life together. Here she is with her husband and the adorable Vera in their home in Chicago. Vera is such an even- tempered baby – I barely heard her cry at all during the four days I stayed at their house. I can’t wait to visit again soon!

Who: Jen, Lawrence and baby Ava
What: In-home baby and family portrait session
Where: Brooklyn, NY
Jen and I grew up in the same town and I was so happy to photograph her and Lawrence’s wedding. I was even happier when she asked me to photograph their new baby daughter at their apartment in Brooklyn! Baby Ava was a few month’s old when we did these portraits and just beginning to smile and react to the camera. What an adorable baby and family!

I photographed this couple’s wedding and was so happy they asked me to capture some portraits of their five month old baby daughter in their neighborhood in Brooklyn. What a cutie!
