Welcome, Gavin and Giana!

I was so excited when Michelle contacted me and asked if I would be interested in photographing her newborn TWINS, Gavin and Giana. Much like Penelope, these guys were anxious to be a real part of the holidays, not just passengers in momma’s belly. Both are doing well, and everyone was thrilled that they would both be home for Christmas. Mom Michelle and Dad John, along with siblings Alexis and Johnny (and four-legged boston terrier Beamer!) put up with me for a couple of hours on Sunday while I captured their newly-expanded family!

Four-legged sister Beamer has been used to being the “baby” for some time now, so she’s still adjusting to all of this infant business. That said, she’s clearly accepted the twins as part of her “pack,” and she stayed near the action, making sure I didn’t overstep my bounds. She’s so stinkin sweet that I contemplated smuggling her out the door and home with me!

Merry Christmas to this beautiful family, and Happy Holidays to all of you reading this!

Penelope has arrived!

Sweet little Penelope wasn’t expected until close to Christmas, but I guess all of the Thanksgiving excitement got to her, and she couldn’t wait any longer! She was an absolute joy to photograph, and the best sleeper I’ve had yet!

The next one features another hat hand-crafted by yours truly… but it’s kind of hard to even notice the hat with ALL THAT SWEETNESS!

The idea for the next one, to have her in a wok, was completely mom & dad’s. It just followed naturally that we’d have her on the stove — and the little wooden plaque sitting on top of the stove just completed the whole thing. Defnitely unconventional, but definitely fun!
