It's a Girl! Baby Avery

I love newborn sessions, not just for the beautiful squeezable, perfect little babe who has entered our world, but for the whole family who has just transitioned to add a family member who was so loved before anyone even laid eyes on them. For the anticipation pre-birth, the intense experience of birth, the relief of the arrival, and the welcoming and introductions to all the family of their new sibling, neice/nephew, grandchild, and so on. Then the first week - caring for babe and mom, being sensitive to new brothers and sisters, and so much more. All of this is going on, and still these families call me. For Photos. I am just so blessed to be a part of this, and to offer a snapshot in time of littleness, perfectness, and love.




I had the opportunity to join the Turner family to celebrate the arrival of Avery at their home. I enjoy meeting families in their home at this time - it's easier for them, and offers me the opportunity and challenges me to capture some unique images using parts of their home as a backdrop. I always use natural window light, otherwise called 'ambient light'.


This is always one of my favorite images from a newborn session, where I 'wrap' mom and dad around baby. Through this pose, I try to show the love that surrounds their child. I simply love this one - what do you think?

Thank you for sharing your precious little one with me. She is perfectly gorgeous, and as she grows in to a little girl, school-aged, teen, etc., I'm thrilled that you will have these photos to look back and remember how little she was. So precious!

A-Hunting we will go! Easter 2012

We had a good time hunting this year - chocolate treats in every room! Adam took the cake for me - while he is normally a quieter boy, he was all about the 'posing' with his finds! Makes me laugh!

Another pose :)

Hey look! This one matches my shirt!

Brotherly Giggles. Love it.

Now can someone save me from eating it all?? I am weak!

Easter Mini-Sessions

Happy Easter everyone! I was blessed to have some lil' bunnies visit me in the photo studio this week for their Easter Mini-Sessions. Knowing that many families get together to celebrate Easter -  I just can't think of anything sweeter for grandmas, grandpas, aunties etc. to receive than a beautiful photo such as these! So utterly sweet, and their beautiful colors gives us hope of spring. I hope everyone has a very fun egg hunt this morning, and special moments to share all day long!


  









Stay tuned for next month's 'Mommy and Me' Mini's Week.  I can't wait to capture that special bond between moms and their babies (even if they are grown babies, my oldest baby is 8!). It's  a great gift for Mother's day - for yourself or a special mom in your life!
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Easter...
Love C

We sing, we dance, we play the Kazoo

Children's  photo sessions are so much fun, and I love it when moms and dads are ready to 'work it' with me! This amazing couple brought their precious Milo in for his 6 month half-session, and sing and dance we did! In harmony yet! I imagine there is a lot of singing in their house, and how beautiful is that? I felt so blessed to be sharing in a celebration of Milo, in my studio. The love was just swirling around this perfect little babe. Oh, I love what I do!!






So sweet of Mom to send this email after receiving her CD! thank you!

Hi Chantel,

I have been meaning to let you know that we love the photos. There are so many beautiful shots - it makes it hard to choose which ones to print! We will look forward to getting more done in the fall.

Thanks so much!
Patty

Milo's Session was a Half-Session. We spent 45 minutes in studio, and mom and dad received a CD of their photos (30 of which are edited) 10 days after our appointment. Cost: $90

Mini-Sessions make a great Gift!

The mother of one of these beautiful girls had the great idea of sneaking her niece out of childcare for a bit today, to come to a mini-session ~~a secret gift for her sister! And how especially sweet to purchase matching outfits for the girls? They look adorable!
Consider purchasing a gift certificate, or arranging for your own sneak-session for a special Mom for Mother's day, or as a baby gift next time you are headed to a baby shower. Melts Mom's heart every time!
