Inspiration is Everywhere!

Styling my photo sessions is something I get so giddy about. I truly enjoy the process of incorporating props into a session and creating that perfect set up. I get my inspiration from everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Every time I see something I love I always try and think about how I can incorporate it into a session. I was flipping through a Macy’s catalog and saw this ad, it took my breath away and instantly visualized myself in it taking a nap with the air every so softly blowing through my hair and the curtains! HAHA! Then, my second thought was how cute it would be to create this for a newborn session. So with my $1 bamboo sticks, and an old sheer curtain I had, I put this little cute bed together. Now if only I can convince a mother to have her newborn session at the beach

Initially I was a little concerned with this session because Ivan was almost 4 weeks old. Rule of thumb for newborns is within 10 days of birth for the best results in posing creatively and keeping baby asleep… But Ivan did great, yay Ivan thank you little guy for cooperating with me

The gap between my daughter’s teeth makes me smile, I absolutely love it! I took these photos of her last year and I’m just now getting around to looking at them –made my day! Love the simplicity of these, just hanging out in her diaper on the kitchen floor, no hair bow, no make-up and still such a beauty My daughter’s eyes always sparkle this beautifully!

I love that my mother kept some of my clothes from when I was a kid. I dug up this one a few weeks ago and thought it would be fun to put my daughter in it. I wore this on my 3rd birthday and my daughter turned 3 in January. I think she looks so much like me, my cousin Patty says she looks just like me, but she’s a prettier version of me, I have to agree MOMS! keep those special outfits, it’s such a treasure! Talia loved this dress, she twirled around in it all day and she giggled so much looking at my photos wearing it.
