Just a quick post today, I can’t resist sharing just a few from my session with the twins, Dalton & Daniel. Only 8 days old and just as sweet as can be!

One of my favorite things about being an on location photographer is the challenge that comes from walking into a new home for the first time, assessing the lighting, the decor and of course the parents and being able to incorporate who they are into the session itself. Mom and Dad have such a playful fun relationship I truly enjoyed getting to know them a bit and watching them together. I’d like to introduce to you their new bundle of sweetness, Alexia. 10 days old and lifeXpressions first 2009 newborn! Isn’t she just perfect?!
Shortly after I arrived at their Naples home for their maternity session I learned that Dad is a doctor and a musician and that music is a pretty big part of their lives. I think the stream of guitars and the music room upstairs was my first clue, some days I can be very perceptive. *giggle* Seeing all of the instruments immediately set my brain in motion wondering how I could incorporate their love of music into their portraits. At times it was a bit of a challenge but we did manage to capture it in both sessions, hopefully Mom and Dad will agree with me that it was worth the effort!

Greetings all! I promised this Mom to be a sneak peek before the arrival of her baby and considering the fact that she was 38 (yes, T-H-I-R-T-Y-E-I-G-H-T!! ) weeks pregnant during our session I knew that would be a tough promise to keep but one that she would surely treasure as she made her way to labor and delivery.
Allow me to introduce to you Tonya, 38 weeks pregnant with her little bundle of love and scheduled to deliver this coming Monday. Woohoo!! How exciting! Tonya, you are one truly beautiful lady, inside and out, in short – you ROCK Momma!! 
I can’t wait to meet the new arrival!
I’m going to sneak this peek bright and early because I happen to know there is a certain Aunt on her way to Florida today who has been stalking the blog waiting for these. I just couldn’t let her come to Florida without giving her a little time to prepare herself for the incredible cuteness she’s about to see face to face. I mean little Marlee is like pure sugar, so sweet she makes your teeth ache but whatever you do you just can’t get enough of her.

Kisses for Marlee from her big brother Maddox. {awww} Maddox is two and man is he quick, thank goodness my trigger finger was pretty quick too!
Peek-a-boo I See You!
It really shouldn’t surprise me that Marlee is as amazing as she is. I mean I’ve been photographing this family for more than two years now and it’s easy to see beauty and sweetness are in their genes. Go ahead, see for yourself: September ’06 {Maternity Session}, November ’07 {Maddox turns ONE}, August ’08 {Waiting for Marlee}
I just have to pop in quickly to give a little sneak peek to a very special Mommy who has been waiting patiently to see her proofs. Casey is completely adorable (obviously!) and she is just so in love with her new baby brother, Brady. She was so eager to hold Brady for a few photos and well gosh, I just really adore cooperative two year olds so I was more than happy to oblige. *giggle* I’m going to save some of the sweetest shots as a treat for Mom and Dad when I publish their proofs but I had to show you this face – Oh.My.Gosh – priceless! ha ha ha
All I can say is if Brady has this much personality at 5 days old…well…I’m going to guess there will never be a dull moment in their house! Don’t ya just love him? *melt*

Ok last one then I really have to run. Look at that sweet little squishy newborn face. {{{sigh}}} He’s just perfect!
Let’s examine that word a bit more, shall we?
chem·is·try: n. 1. The elements of a complex entity and their dynamic interrelation. 2. Mutual attraction or sympathy; rapport.
Yep, that pretty much sums up my session with Ben & Jennifer…so much chemistry and affection for each other…this little one is already blessed to be coming home to such loving parents. I am on pins and needles waiting for their newborn session!
I’ve got just one more comment before I call it a night…
Jennifer my dear, you’re lucky I don’t share my client’s email addresses on the blog. I’m willing to bet your email would soon be flooded with messages from women who are very jealous of how amazing you look in your little white bikini. Dang, most of us can’t pull off that look when we’re not pregnant! You are just stunning girl! My hats off to you for staying in such amazing shape through your pregnancy!
I’ve just got to share one from today’s maternity session in Naples…I’ve had the honor of photographing this family not once, or twice, but three times now and each time they are more adorable than the last. Typically toddlers are on the move, little Maddox is no different. He had his own idea of ‘fun’ and you can bet it didn’t involve standing still. Fortunately a little bribery goes a long way eh? We worked hard for this one today…Dad booting his little linebacker into play, Mom waiting so very patiently, and yours truly trying to catch his attention just long enough to focus a shot. When I got back to the office today and saw this shot I couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear…I have to say, I think it was worth the effort guys!
Just one for today…
