I think we were all due for some cute newborn photos right? I mean it’s been a while since I’ve blogged any. Last Friday fresh off a Vegas trip I drove through one hell of a snow storm to get Christina and Josh’s home where 14 day old Jake awaited his photo session. New parents are fun to be around. There is always so much excitement and pride at these sessions. Did I mention Jake was one cute little baby too? Congrats to Christina and Josh!

Peace,
JP

All calm and sleeping when I arrived..

What a cute little room my man Jake had..

I love this image. It’s my #1 from the whole session.

another easy favorite.

When I shot this image Christina’s mother and sister were in the room and all I heard was “aawww!”

Too cute!

My facebook teaser image.

He was getting tired so we’ll end with this one. Congrats to you both!

As we all know, when I blog I tend to blog a lot of images. Sometimes I want to blog more or there are images that I missed. You know, images that should have made the blog but didn’t at the time for whatever reason. I did this last year and it was a fun blog post. Since we had a lot of awesome images happening in 2010 I knew this would be a long post! So sit back and relax.

Peace,

Ok I know all you faithful and long time blog stalkers must be wondering what our famous blog all star Meara is up 2 right? To catch you all up with Meara you should check this post out and this one as well. I’ll wait… Wow back so soon? Anyway it was time to document Meara at the age of 2 back in September of 2010. With the fall rush going on when I shot these images getting around to blogging this just got by me and I must say I regret it. I was actually working on my “how’d I miss that?” blog post for this past year. (here’s last years from 2009 stuff) So when I work on that post I basically look back at everything I shot and see what I shots from all the weddings, engagement, sessions etc I missed when I originally blogged it and create a blog post with the leftovers if you will. Anyway, I stumbled on these images and it sparked an impromptu blog post! I felt that they needed to be shared with you all and they needed to be shared now! So without anymore chatter here’s Meara at the age of 2!

Peace,
JP

One of the first shots I took.. she’s so Sweet ;)

We’re old pals by now.. she just laughs at me.

As always Meara did not disappoint with the funny faces..

this is one of her best silly faces.

Oh but when she’s serious and calm she just pulls you right in..

little feets

How can you not smile when looking at this kid?

pretty color..

I loved when Mom gave her the pop! The color and the pattern was great!

haha

This might be my fav from the whole session..

I’ll end with this.. hopefully we’ll see little Meara again!

I wanted to bring you all up to date with Lily. I’m sure you all remember her newborn shoot and her summer session when she was 3 months right? Well in these images she’s around 9 months. We got together here in our studio and although I normally do not blog studio stuff I thought since we’ve been watching her grow it was only right to share a few. I’ll be catching up with Lily sometime in the spring when she turns 1 to finish off her first year of life images. She just keeps getting cuter!

Peace,
JP

Lily’s mother is into the whole vintage thing so what better backdrop then “vintage” from drop it MODERN ?

Of course with some vintage processing too… I love this image. It’s my fav from the whole session.

She does look pretty darn cute in this one too.

Fact: Stephanie made all these balls… She’s always got great props and ideas for her sessions.

Lily was pretty much done with me here.

ha! see you soon Lily!
