What a difference an ounce makes!

Jamie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:02:47 +0000

I love what I do. I get to spend time with growing families, capturing their irreplaceable moments, getting to know them and oftentimes making new friends. What a gift these last few years has been to me. In addition to all the other bounties that comes with my career, I also get my much needed baby cuddling time in, as with this little one.

Meet baby Sofia, on her 21st day of life. She began our session a little restless (as expected with her being an ‘older’ newborn) but quickly calmed down after mom topped her off with that last ounce of milk. She slept for the remainder of the session, and was still crashed when I left. What an amazingly beautiful baby girl she is! I love her sweet grin, beautifully shaped eyes, and full head of hair. And take a look at that little whispy curl on top of her head, it makes me smile every time I see it.

She truly made my day in a big way. After we finished photographing, her Mom let me sit and cuddle with Sofia while we talked for awhile. It is moments like that, sitting peacefully on the couch while enjoying a sleeping cuddly baby in my arms, that satisfy my longing to have one of my own. Thank you little Sofia, you are a special little girl that I feel honored to have met!

Roman Cousins

Meet 13 month old Scarlett, cousin to Luca, whom I had the joy of photographing earlier this year. Scarlett and her family are visiting California from Rome, Italy. When they saw Luca’s first photographs Mom knew she wanted me to photograph her beautiful girl too. For being such an active toddler, Scarlett was quite easy to photograph, look at all the amazing images we were able to capture. Who can resist those wonderful curly locks of hair, amazing eyelashes, and charming smile?

Mom and Dad invited me to come visit Rome to in the future, and I will certainly take them up on their offer! I have been to Italy in the past, and would love to visit again. Perhaps next year? And maybe I can photograph some more amazing Roman children while there!

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

Jamie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:20:29 +0000

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!

Little Avery

It is always such a joy for me to be invited back into the homes of families as new members are welcomed into their lives. Meet 9 week old Avery, an incredibly beautiful baby girl. She is the second baby I have photographed for this couple. Her big brother Carson is the one that has graced the front of my business card for over three years. What a delight it was to see them all again! Congratulations Mom and Dad.

Elliott’s Big Arrival

Jamie — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:03:03 +0000

Introducing 5 day old Elliott, a perfectly healthy 11 pound 13 ounce baby boy. He is nearly double the size of my typical newborn, yet as his proud grandma pointed out, perfectly per portioned at 22 1/2 inches long. He is so much fun to hold and just melted right into my arms. I am thrilled about all the fantastic images we were able to capture due to the fact that he would have rather been laying on mom eating. Daddy appropriately referred to him as a baby kangaroo not wanting to leave his mommy’s pouch. I wish I could have taken him home.

Ethan has grown

Jamie — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:47:49 +0000

Meet Ethan, a repeat performer in-front of my camera. I first photographed him as a newborn last September and was delighted to come back and see how big he has grown. Next to newborns, newly sitting babies are my favorite to photograph, they show off their personality and are a blast to be around. Ethan did not disappoint, I fell in love with his amazing baby blues, his smile with those two lower teeth showing through, and his sweet demeanor. It was a pleasure as usual mom and dad, Ethan is so fortunate to have you both.

Introducing Ella

Jamie — Sat, 15 May 2010 02:20:19 +0000

Have I mentioned lately how fortunate I am to have my career? I have the bounty of meeting new families during a very special time in their lives. Capturing these new babies brings me so much delight and happiness I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Beautiful Ella and her mommy came to me by word of mouth from a past client I treasure so much (thank you Jennifer). I was able to photograph Ella on her 14th day of life. She of course was an angel. Peaceful and radiant, just like her mommy. Although our session started off perfectly, Ella quickly decided she wanted to take a break, pausing the session for an hour or two. We waited her out, and when she was finally in the mood to continue, we captured the most precious images of her and mommy together. It was worth every minute!

Brady, sweet perfection.

Jamie — Sat, 08 May 2010 17:35:07 +0000

I truly look forward to newborn sessions with such anticipation. New possibilities await me with every young life I meet, each with their own story and personality that I always hope to capture. Meet handsome little Brady on his 7th day of life. He was a real charm to photograph. He was so easy going, calm, and let me move him every which way without a single complaint. I wish every newborn was like him! His proud mommy had dreamed of the day, long before Brady was conceived, to have her baby captured like this. I can only hope I met her expectations. What do you think Mom? :)

Meet Micah

Jamie — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 16:05:27 +0000

Meet much anticipated baby boy Micah on his 9th day of life. Ever since I met his mommy I was looking forward to meeting this little guy, and he did not disappoint. He gave me the whole range of photos I love to capture, from connecting with the camera with his wide open eyes, to smiles, to sweet mommy baby pictures, and he gladly hung out in the classic carriage too, just to name a few. Welcome Micah, you are simply a pleasure.
