Such a precious baby!

After much scheduling and rescheduling, I finally met up with Jamie and her beautiful family!

And what a treat is was for me!

I especially loved big brother. HE was so awesome and look how loving he is!

I love this last image. As some of you may know B&W film is my first love and this iamge captures the feeling of B&W film and why I love it so much.

Because sometimes a picture is a moment captured, and in B&W it’s always more dreamy and nostaligic.

What do you think?

I’ve been so busy shooting holiday portraits and I’m super behind in blogging!

Here’s a little cutie I photographed a bit ago.

 

His parents were so adorable with him.

They were also adorable in the cute glances they gave each other.
