Chloe & Isaak remind me my brother & I, and my cousin Ashley & Nicole. Ashley is Chloe and Isaak's dad. They remind me of us not just because of age similarities but because you can see that Chloe loves her baby brother. During this shoot she tried to entertain him, tickle him, make him smile, help him sit up, dress him & definitely snuggle him. I am sure both Nicole & I did the same with our brothers. Isaak & Chloe are the miniature images of their parents, so adorable!

Chloe is now into ballet, but don't let that fool you. That is not her only interest. Chloe is fascinated with dinky cars. Chloe lined up all of her cars to show me, and their is 103 dinky cars in the line up!! My niece Sparky Ming Ming also has a little obsession with cars too! They both can likely teach me about cars at this stage! I love that she has so many of them and loves to play with them. Isaak will definitely appreciate this soon!

Isaak is a mini Ashley. I have never see such a resemblance! Isaak is so sweet and snuggley, and this will be his first Christmas. I had the chance to photograph Krista & Ashley in the hospital when they were waiting for Isaak to arrive!

I hope my family in "Sizzerside" enjoy the holidays in their new home!

Well as I am going through my piles and piles of disc to get to people with the Disc Sell Off, I am finding some from years ago that are pretty adorable. Last Day to take advantage of this sell off is Friday! Don't let your amazing captured memories get away!

This was summer of 2008 and it was Willow's first day at the beach. It was the first time she touched sand, or put her little feet in the ocean. Can you imagine? I am pretty sure she loved it. Look at that smile and LOOK at those feet!!!

Name: Mary "Clarie" Murphy
Born: August 21, 2009
Size at Birth: 7 pounds 14 ounces


Into this world, the most beautiful sweet little darling that any mother and father could ask for. This little darling stole their hearts and mine as well. Those beautiful blue eyes were peering into this world, hoping for all the best for her and everyone around her.

Ten fingers, Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.
Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.

Cooper MacNeill Bradley (His middle name is Dawn's Maiden Name)
Born on Oct 29, 2009 (A week before he was due - he couldn't wait to enter this world)
5lbs 9oz

"Little Cooper is our little miracle" Dawn had mentioned to me. I thought I would share this session with you to spread some joy for this holiday season. Miracles are all around us especially this time of year. They happen every day in peoples lives, it is up to us to acknowledge and accept them as miracles. Just looking at the smile on Dawn & Robbie's face's when they introduced me to their little miracle, it was sheer joy and pride!

"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle."

Dawn & Robbie were awesome to work with during their pregnancy and were up for anything. It was a beautiful summer night when I took these photos for them. I think after yesterday's snow, I started to think back of all the sessions I hadn't posted yet that were done during this past summer. You know summer - when it is sunny and warm. Not winter when it is cold and snowy.

I love doing maternity sessions outdoors because they can become much more exciting than in front of a cloth background. Of course having our beautiful island as a backdrop definitely helps! These were taken at Lakeside beach where a lot of my beach sessions are help. It was around 7 or 8 o'clock at night to capture that beautiful golden light.




Oh and if you seen the cute little baby that was on my Cans for Comments post, that is the new little son of Dawn & Robbie. Welcome to the world, Cooper MacNeill Bradley...born on October 29, 2009. I will be doing a bog post on little Cooper in the next few days as well.
