Gainesville Florida Baby Photographer – Lucas at 9 months

Lucas is very special to me – as I was there from the very beginning of his life! I was honored to photograph his birth and now I get to see him every few months to capture his milestones. Here is one of my favorites from his recent 9 month session in the wildflower field!

I was so happy to see Elliott again for his 6 month baby session because I also photographed his newborn session! He has grown into such a beautiful little boy – I just love his smile and his ever so adorable outfit that mom put him in. Adorable with a capitol “A”.

These have got to be the most bluest eyes I’ve ever seen – I think even bluer than one of my favorite actors – Mr. Paul Newman! This adorable little guy is signed up for my First Year Baby Steps Plan and this is his 3 month session. I had bunches of fun hangin out with him and his beautiful Mama at my residential studio. You may remember this guys big brother from his family session here.

Full House Part 1: Caterina’s newborn session | gainesville fl newborn photographer

Laurel — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 03:15:57 +0000

The vast majority of the newborn sessions that I photograph are done at my residential studio in Haile Plantation but every so often I get asked to photograph a newborn session at the client’s home. Such is the case with the newborn session of this beautiful newborn baby girl. Caterina is the third baby for this lovely Italian family. She has two big sisters who have been waiting eagerly to meet her. You might remember them from the maternity session we did in April – you can check it out here. Having the newborn session at your home is perfect for when you want to capture more lifestyle portraits of the entire family interacting with the newest arrival. This session is the perfect example of the relaxed and natural poses captured at home. Because there are just so many beautiful images to share from this session, I am splitting this blog post into two parts. Enjoy!

A Complete Meltdown: Amadine, Jason, & Aidan’s Family Session | gainesville family photographer

Laurel — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 23:16:50 +0000

This morning I met with Amadine and Jason with their one year old little guy, Aidan at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens. We met up at 9 am thinking that it would not have gotten a chance to heat up. Boy were we wrong! By the time I got from my car to the entrance to the gardens I was soaked!! We all get a bit of a soaking but we had a great time. We ended up taking Aidan’s clothes off and sitting him in a fountain to cool off. That was a great idea..because those are some of the cutest pictures of the bunch. A special thank you to my assistant/daugher Rowan for always making those babies smile! She is some kind of wonderful. By the way if you are interested in a babysitter this summer, Rowan just received her Red Cross Babysitting Certification and Infant/Child CPR Certification. Give me a buzz or email if you are interested!

Here is one of the very first pictures from our family session.

…and here is the very last photo from the session!
