Baby Jaakko | Newborn Photography

March 29, 2009

Today I got to meet baby Jaakko who is almost 2 weeks old and just beautiful! His mommy and daddy love him so much and it was really obvious how proud they are of him. He’s a curious little guy and didn’t sleep a wink for the three hours I spent with them…can’t say I blame him though, I’d probably be a bit freaked out if someone was taking my picture with a camera bigger than my head too ;)

It was great seeing you guys again, enjoy your sneak peek!

Candice & Doug | Maternity Session

March 24, 2009

On Saturday I had a maternity session with Candice and Doug (and their beagle, Hunter) in Bietigheim-Bissingen where Doug plays hockey for the Steelers…it was a long day for me but so worth it!  They were great to work with and did everything I asked..not to mention they are SO cute together and just gorgeous!  Candice has a great, contagious laugh which made for a really fun session which I think shows in the photos. I had a really hard time picking my favorite shots, so here are a bunch of them…

It was great meeting you guys! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Finn & Nuala

March 19, 2009

On Tuesday I had my first outdoor session of 2009 with Finn and his mom. They were such great sports and I had so much fun with them. I think Finn was a bit skeptical at first but then he realized I’m just a goofball with a camera and warmed up to me pretty quickly. He is so stinking cute and gave me some great expressions lol, not to mention his amazing blue eyes!

It was great meeting you guys…enjoy your sneak peek!
