7 days young....

Let's hear another awwwwwwwwww. Look at Miss. L. -- super cute, sleepy and she had the most adorable little cheeks. Love this age! (Have I mentioned how much I love my job?) We had fun posing her and just looking at her sweet face.







Thanks for letting me share! It was a lovely session.

And my big news.........................

My nephew has arrived! Jackson was born last night at 7:17pm -- 7lbs 7 ounces. He is perfect and healthy in every way. It was a long and exhausting labor for my sister. However she was awesome, I couldn't be more proud of her and filled with joy at her and my brother in law's happiness. I will be sharing some photos of Jackson in the next couple days. The labor and delivery photos not make an appearance on the blog. =) It was a wonderful experience to share the day and their special moments with them.

Little boys....

Little boys are so amazing, wondrous and inspiring. My three year old son has the most amazing imagination. He can play for hours, creating the most interesting stories inside his head with nothing but a blanket and a spoon for props. When I photograph him I want to capture this part of him but I don't think it can really come across from the camera. So instead I have to tuck those memories away in my head for a time when he doesn't remember this awesome imagination and have to be happy just following him around with my camera.

Today we took a stroll around the neighborhood, he was batman (because of his cool bat hat) and a fireman (of course a fireman since he had his red rubber boots on... duh Mommy.) He picked up a branch which was his "bat sword" and just went about regular bat business of catching the bad guys.

I love this age and could fill a book with all the wonderful tales he tells me everyday.








Thanks for letting me Mommy-gush today.

Newborn love.

I hear a collective AWWWWWWWWWWWWW (at least in my head) over this sweet baby girl. Seriously could she be any cuter? She has a lovely personality and is so strong for being just 7 weeks old.







Thanks for letting me share my newest little client and her beautiful parents.

Coming in a few weeks...

My nephew!

I'm a teeny weeny bit excited for the arrival of my nephew in March. We had her shower last weekend and of course gushed over all those baby goodies. My boys ask daily about how their cousin is growing and want to google photos of the baby's development. Then this past weekend I took these photos of my sister. Seriously I know I'm biased but isn't she GORGEOUS?

You know I can't wait to get my hand on my nephew (I say hand because the other will be holding a Nikon. ;)





Maternity photo sessions are such a blast! Doesn't Mom deserve to get glammed up and have fun in front of the camera? Sure does!

Thanks for looking. (comment love is always appreciated.)

Mr. GQ

I'm welcoming a new handsome face to my blog, Mr. A. He was a delight to photograph. Very interested in Spiderman, eating snow and trying to get his Mom to let him play at the playground. Between talking about Spiderman and snow eating he did ham it up for the camera. He's a natural for sure and would pose himself for me. Hahaha! Most three year old boys don't love the photographer too much (and I would know as a Mom of a three year old boy) but this guy surprised me.







Thanks for looking!

6 going on 16.

I know I should not have favorites. I can't help myself. I do! Miss J. just turned 6. She frequents my blog and website. She is one of my favorites. I love seeing the children I photograph grow (Miss J. last birthday.) I love seeing their personalities develop. Miss J. loves to be in front of the camera.
We were in Wilmington, Delaware and the weather was on our side this weekend so we got some lovely outdoor photos. I'll try to just share a few but I have so many favorites.




Isn't this sweater dress and tights from Hanna Andersson just adorable?







Thanks for letting me share! =)

It's Newborn Season..

It's possibly my favorite time of year despite chilly temps and slushy roads. It's newborn season. I'm not sure why I get many newborn clients this time of year but I love it. They are probably my favorite little ones to photograph and I enjoy meeting these new Mommies and Daddies.

This little gal did not disappoint. Just about a week old, very lovely and eventually sleepy, just the way I like them.

Let me share a few of my favorites:









Thanks for letting me share! Enjoy. =)

So if you are in the Philadelphia area, Center City, Mainline, Delaware County, Chester County, Montgomery county and Bucks County and are expecting or if baby has arrived please call or email to get more information about newborn photography and what I can do for you.

Smiles.

Yes, I love smiles. Who doesn't? Yes, smiles aren't mandatory in a photo session with me but when we are having fun together smiles just make it all the more fun. This weekend I photographed a beautiful sister age 5 and a little brother just turned one. Adorable!







Thanks for letting me share!

New.

Just wanted to share a few from an adorable little newborn from yesterday. Miss M. slept the entire session and looked beautiful while doing it. I wish all newborns were as lovely sleepers as this one. What a beauty!






It's amazing to me how many newborns I photograph this time of year. If you are expecting and want a spot please call me prior to the birth of your baby if possible. =) To get these beautiful sleeping babe photos the younger the better. I believe this little one was about 8 days old.

Thanks for letting me share and enjoy your sneak peek!

Away.

Up.. Up.. and Away!!! I'll be out of the office and on vacation Wednesday, January 21st-29th. A much needed vacation with the family, we will be enjoying warmer weather and of course a little mouse named Mickey. I'll return emails and voice mails when I return.

Just wanted to share a few from a super Mr. Cutie this weekend. He loved to give us drooled on smiles and silly faces.

History.

The "Inauguration Express" making it's way through Delaware County.



Can you see the soon-to-be First Family?



My littlest one bundled up and so excited to wave at the train! Hoping to catch a glimpse of Barack Obama.



My photo was picked up by an online news site.

New Year.

I hope all my clients, friends and family had a wonderful holiday. My kids are back to school today and I'm sure some of yours are as well. I love the holidays with kids, it makes it so much more special and exciting. However back to school day is nice too. =)

For the New Year, Beautiful Babies and More will be announcing some new items. We are getting a blog makeover soon, watch out for the new link. There will be some new products and offerings in 2009.

Sharing a few from a session done right before the holidays.





Scheduling is now open for the Winter/Spring season. As in most years past February-March seems to be Maternity and Newborn time for us. So give me a call to get your session scheduled soon (even if you are still expecting, I prefer to have you tentatively scheduled prior to the birth of your child.) Newborn photography is best done in those first few days. Please call or email to discuss more details.

Thanks,
- M

Rock Stars.

Miss J. is one of my rock stars. She loves getting photographed. I love photographing her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes and bouncy blond curls. She will do anything I ask with a huge smile on her face. I'm sure you've seen her before on my blog and website. I got a treat the other day and was able to photograph her and her family. They picked an awesome location. The skate park in FDR park and the surrounding grounds. A lot of graffiti and skater boys. What a perfect background for this rocking family, of course it was about 30 degrees not making for the best weather for outdoor photos. They were troopers though and we eventually got some giggles out of Miss J.'s little sister too.








Thanks for stopping by. Drop me a line! =)
