Introducing Sasha

Jamie — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:03:54 +0000

I have been a bit behind on all my computer work due to the fact that I have had two very special guests at my house for the last week. My two nieces from Washington DC have blessed me by spending the remainder of their summer with me. The girls are 5 and 12 years old, and bring with them lots of activity and a demand for my attention. How do you mom’s juggle everything? Whew! I had hopeful thoughts that I would be able to work on the computer while they are here, but I have hardly found time to do so… I have two more photo sessions after this one to post later on this week along with pictures of the girls. For now, we are packing to leave to the coast for a few days.

Thank you mom and dad for your generous patience. I know we took these images almost two weeks ago. So without further delay, please meet 5 day old Sasha and her two year old sister Samantha. What truly special moments we were able to capture together. Sasha was so cooperative, and even gave us few smiles. And we were even fortunate enough to get some great moments with her toddler sister. I hope you are thrilled so far! Enjoy.

A Summer Baby

Some images are just magical. Sometimes it is hard to put your finger on why, they just are, and I know it the moment I capture it. These moments will always be etched in my memory, not only as an image, but as a feeling. Such was the case with this close up of baby Natalie and her mommy’s hands. What a perfectly sweet image, capturing their relationship, Natalie’s dependence on mom, and how very small and precious she is. She was so alert and calm during our session, a perfect summer baby.

Six day old Natalie is number three in this amazing family. I had the privilege to photograph 2 year old Christopher as a newborn, and 6 year old Alex when mommy was expecting his little brother. How much fun it is to see them now, all grown up as active children. Congratulations Alex and Christopher on the birth of your baby sister!

Tyler and Addison

Meet baby Tyler at 20 days old, along with his big sister Addison. With a spectacular morning drive up into the foothills and and a fun filled afternoon playing and being creative, I could not have asked for a better day! It was perfect weather in the mountains and we could not pass up going outdoors to get some images of the children in their natural environment. Welcome to the world Tyler, your a lucky little guy!

Naturally Wonderful

I’ve had fun this past month with photographing 6 maternity sessions in a row. This final belly session was with an incredible family. Big sister was so well behaved and darling, she even kept herself busy drawing while I photographed mom and dad! In the end she gifted me with one of her colorful creations, which I am now proudly displaying on my refrigerator. :) This delightful family was so natural in front of the camera, it was a breeze to get fabulous images of them! I am sure baby sister will be just as photogenic.

One with Purpose

Although I have not had the bounty of motherhood myself, I still cannot help but wonder what path these fresh lives I photograph will take. My mother could have never imagined that I would become a photographer when I first arrived into this world. Although she was remarkable at recognizing my early interest in the arts, and continued to foster my passions as I grew. I continue to thank her for the unconditional support she has showed me to this very day. With such bounties, I find myself wanting to pay it forward. I have recently been encouraging several special people in my life to find what their passion and purpose is. For I want to share the secret that, when we find our gifts and follow our passion we will be rewarded in life.

It was so timely for me to meet this very special family I had the honor to photograph yesterday. This five day old baby girl melted my heart from the moment I met her. Her name is Nyah, which has African roots and means “one with purpose” or “a life of purpose” in Swahili. Nyah’s purpose has already had an impact on me, and the time I was able to connect with her helped heal my heart of recent hardship in my life. Thank you Nyah and family for a memorable session. It was an honor to meet you and I look forward to watching the girls grow and prosper.

Exploring the Ranch

Meet sweetie girl Tatum. She is yet another toddler I photographed late last year at only a few days old. We used the backdrop of my friends old red barn for these images. I love the textures of weathered wood and character this working ranch offered us. I look forward to taking more clients out to the Clovis property in the future. Thank you Mrs. C for letting us explore the ranch, we had so much fun.

One of my personal favorites from Tatum’s newborn session last year.

All you need is Love

I first had the privilege to photograph these three siblings when baby Avery was only a few days old. Fast forward one year and she is now an active toddler, running around with the other two. I am sure when Avery grows up and looks back on these early memories of her life, she will not be able to deny the love her big Brother and Sister had for her from the very beginning!

Here is one of the favorites from Avery’s newborn session last year. Mom and Dad had this image printed large and framed beautifully as you walk into their house. I am sure these new images will fit in wonderfully with their collection of family memories.

Baby Blues

Jamie — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 03:13:18 +0000

Meet 5 day old baby Kyle and his big brother and sister. Kyle is a wonderful addition to this beautiful family, and was such an easy baby to work with. If they all were only as sweet and dreamy as him, my job would be a breeze. Isn’t it amazing how the children’s blue eyes match perfectly with mom and dad’s bedding!

Brotherhood

Jamie — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 20:52:36 +0000

I have the privilege to be invited into the homes of some wonderful families, and these brother’s and their parents were no exception. Baby Daniel was so enthusiastic to see me, even some of his “getting ready” pictures are keepers. His big brother Thomas was so quick to warm up to me he showered me with compliments throughout the session, and could not understand why I had to leave in the end. I loved being around them and hope to get another opportunity in the future to photograph this amazing family.

Cool Cat Westin

Jamie — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:28:00 +0000

I met one year old Westin and his big brother Jonah last year when he was just a few days old. Like always, I am amazed by how much children grow and change in such a small amount of time. Mom described her youngest as having a “cool cat” attitude, and she was not kidding. He was easy going and inquisitive, not making a fuss about anything, just how I like them. These two brothers have the most amazing bright blue eyes, I am sure they get the attention of ladies everywhere they go!
