Once upon a time there were three little boys who played together a lot. They were neighbors and their Moms were friends. One of the Moms had dreams of becoming a photographer and she took photos of all the children in the neighborhood. This day happened to be a warm rainy day, and the boys all ran home to put on their firefighter rain-gear so they can keep having fun splashing in the puddles.

They all looked so cute that the Mom photographer asked them to play in from of the red fence. Many years later these boys are now teens and they no longer fit in their little firemen outfits, but the Mom photographer made her dream into reality and not gets to play with Brides on rainy days

P. S. Please excuse the quality, these were scanned from old 4×6′s.

I love the Flanagans  They are good friends of mine, it’s always great to see them.

I got to meet the newest member of their family Pepper. Isn’t she the most beautiful dog?

Casual yet formal family photos are a great way to document how your family changes from year to year…

…however, for me the real photos happen after the posing is done. I mean how often do you see Darth Vader playing the piano?

These kids are hysterical!

I love this one.

So cute!!!

The next two are my favorites.

Sweet Owen, you’re adorable.

Meet Max, he’s almost two and completely adorable! Even though I came over to photograph all 3 boys together I couldn’t help myself…I mean look at those curls, those eyes!!

Dylan is the older brother, holding baby Colin who’s just a week old.

This is the reaction you get when the baby fills his diaper quite loudly, it was sooo funny!!!

More cuteness.

Sweet baby Colin.

He’s very cute for a newborn

Comments appreciated!

Miss Dancer’s Mom hired me to take photos of her dancer daughter. She’s a student at the Joffrey Academy of Dance, and obviously the girl has talent and beauty

I love this first photo, just a quick snap of the shoes being put on, it’s so timeless. Favorite 1!

Love the graceful feel of this one…

Favorite 2!

Favorite 3!!

Meet the newest addition to this beautiful family, at one month old she is already perfect from head to toe.

Beautiful big sister

Is there anything better than baby folds? Nope!

This is CJ he’s 7 months old and adorable.

He’s such a happy baby

Piper the cutie pie.

Caleigh, the oldest…I’ve been photographing her since she was CJ’s age.

Getting 3 kids this young all looking at the camera with their eyes open can only be done by talented professionals, parents don’t try this at home

And now the truth behind those adorable photos I love these outtakes

What a personality this little boy has!

I’ve been photographing Kishen since he was a newborn. Now he’s 2 and not only is he completely adorable, but he’s so smart! He knows his address and has the vocabulary of a 3 year old.

I love his eyes and those lashes!!

I shot Karen and Dennis’ wedding a few years ago, and now it’s baby time

Love this one!

Proud daddy-to-be.

So cute!

I think 8 moths is the ideal time for pregnancy portraits, Karen looked radiant.

Looking forward to meeting your little peanut :)

I had the pleasure of photographing Sandra & Leszek’s wedding a couple of years ago, [click here to see their awesome wedding photos] and now they had a couple of new reasons to call me.  It’s so great to keep in touch with my couples and see their families grow

I love photographing babies with nothing on, really why cover up that perfection with clothes?

Ahh…sleeping babies, is there anything more precious? Nope.
