Is solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms of a sister. ~Alice Walker
This session held a special place in my heart because when my second baby was born, I wish I took time to photograph my son and daughter together during those first few precious days/weeks. I missed the opportunity and all that mommy guilt! So when I received a booking request for a newborn + sibling session, I got super giddy and happy. Big sister in this session was so sweet, patient and loving towards her baby sister. I can’t even put into words how much I wanted to help this family capture those first sweet, sibling moments! The images came out beautiful and I’m over the moon happy for this family who graciously shared their story of learning to be patient for Lady A’s long awaited arrival.
I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle. ~Vincent Van Gogh
Sir R’s session was an interesting session because this sweetheart was the first boy who broke my all-newborn-baby-girl shooting streak last year! Sir R made us work quite hard for his images because older newborns tend to sleep less and start hitting growth spurts at around three weeks of age where babies cluster feed. I was fortunate in being able to photograph quickly during those few minutes when Sir R would doze off and am so happy with how his gallery turned out. Another reason why this session was interesting was because I was challenged as a digital artist in finding the boundary between what I considered art and what my client considered a record of her sweet baby’s life in a particular moment of time. We came to a good solution in the end and we are so happy with how the images turned out! Welcome to the world Sir R!

Lady M was super hungry at the beginning of her session. But once she fell asleep, Lady M became the sweetest angel. Momma had a special request for a specific shade of purple and that is exactly what she got! From royal purple lace crowns, elegant lilac flowing wraps to dainty lavender and lace headbands. The images turned out to be phenomenal and it was so awesome learning that Momma and I grew up in neighboring school districts. Welcome to the world, Lady M!

It’s true when they say that a photographer’s favorite photo is always the next photo they take. Lady N’s images and shoot is my favorite one to date because I couldn’t have been blessed with a sweeter, happier, sleepier and cuter baby! Lady N was my dream baby. We started the session easing into some comfy loosely swaddled shots on a dreamy soft blanket. Fast asleep, Lady N literally melted in my arms and in some images she even posed herself. I’d say we have a natural model here! The session flowed smoothly, Lady N was super relaxed, we had soothing white noise in the background – mommy and daddy described the experience as going to a baby spa. When my parents and baby are happy, that is a successful session! I’m always so humbled when parents trust me to photograph their newborn at just a few days old. Welcome to our little world Lady N!
To celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Sheep, a new character debuts! The inspiration for Rolly Bubble Sheep came one day as my son insisted that I blow bubbles for him to pop. I was taking a break from photographing babies but itching to create something. Lunar New Year of the Sheep was coming up and suddenly an image of a sheep shaped like a bubble floated into my head. The idea solidified that same evening while I watched my son play with a gigantic stuffed sheep doll. And Rolly Bubble Sheep was born 🙂
Rolly Bubble Sheep has super fluffy wool that can be blown into bubbles around his body. He loves to roll around with the help of his bubble wool but often gets stuck in crevices. When that happens, Rolly Bubble Sheep will pop some of his wool bubbles to get out and then blow some more to cover the missing bubbles. He’s super active but quiet. If you are not paying close attention, Rolly Bubble Sheep might roll past you without you even knowing!
