Since we just can’t stop getting winter weather up here in the Lehigh Valley I’ve been doing everything I can to make the best of it. My kids are over going outside to model for me so I decided to use objects that wouldn’t give me as much back-talk as my darling children. After about 5mins of trying to get pictures of snowflakes I almost preferred the fighting 4yr old and 7yr old. Since I don’t own a proper macro lens (may consider it now though), I pulled out my macro tube extenders. These serve the purpose I have when it comes to macro photography (which is to say, not that much), but they are definitely not the correct medium to use for say, snowflakes. But I didn’t give up. I think my husband was thoroughly enjoying himself watching me mutter and keep trying all day.

Seriously.

All day.

But eventually I did get acceptable images. Not great, but acceptable. And still pretty cool when you think about how TINY these little guys are. 🙂

Two days later we had a nice ice storm which officially made roads an ice skating rink. I went out to take some cool macros of the ice.

Meet newborn Francesco!

I am always so grateful when families call me to do a newborn session.

This little guy was only 8 days old when I photographed him. What a little rock star! He slept through most of our session and posed perfectly for me. I even got him in the froggy pose! He made my job as a photographer easy for his session. At the end he even opened his big beautiful eyes and gave me some personality. Of course, that personality meant “I’m done” but that’s ok! After how wonderfully he slept for most of the session, no one was mad when he decided he was done.

I even convinced mom and dad to get in a couple pictures. I always find it very important to capture the new parents with their newborn at that moment in time. You’ll never get it back and they grow so quickly. And hey, I’m already there anyway right? 🙂

As a photographer, I think Valentine’s Day pictures are super fun to plan! However, my 7.5yr old son rarely wants to be involved because, although he likes the candy and treats part of Valentine’s Day, he tends to think it can be “girly” (ah, boys). So after pleading with him and a mini fit about not wanting a “pink” background {gasp!} I rethought my idea and convinced him to come outside with me for this…

I’m so glad I convinced him because that’s one of my favorite Valentine’s Day pictures I’ve taken! He thinks it’s pretty neat too, even though all I got from him was a unimpressed “cool” response.

Hey, I’ll take it. 🙂

My daughter was much easier to convince. In fact, she still asks me daily if we can go outside and do it again.

And since it’s Valentine’s day, I’ll share what my daughter wanted as her Valentines. She (along with most other little girls -and moms!) is completely obsessed with Frozen. I was not able to find Frozen Valentine’s in the store, so we made our own. She is SO HAPPY with how they turned out.

How lucky am I? Here’s another little lady I had the privilege of photographing as a newborn, and now we’re celebrating her one year birthday! I love when things come full circle. Karlie’s mom brought a sweet birthday dress and an adorable birthday hat that we incorporated in her session. We also got a super sweet image of mom and baby girl which I think it’s just gorgeous. By the time we got to the cake Karlie wasn’t sure what she thought of it. She was interested, and ate a little, but then she was over it! She may not have enjoyed eating the cake, but she sure enjoyed making a mess! 😉

We’ve been getting slammed in the North East this winter! Usually we get a couple snow storms and we’re done. This year it seems as soon as the snow melts we get more! I’m over winter.

But, following the adage of ‘when life hands you lemons’ I decided to go out and make some lemonade. Portraits in the snow are really, really beautiful so it IS good for something. I took some of my favorite pics of my kids so far. And then, just to change things up, I dragged out my neighbors kids for some pics as well (how beautiful are these girls? Aren’t I lucky to get to photograph them whenever I want?).

And, because these are kids after all, you can’t NOT have a snowball fight right?

I love cake smashes! It’s such a fun way to celebrate such a big milestone like turning one whole year old! Little Keira came to me ON her actual first birthday! Talk about an honor! I had the pleasure of photographing her as a newborn as well, and I love with things come full circle. Look how much she’s grown! She had a great time at her cake smash and we had a lot of fun watching her!
