Vasili and I had a newborn shoot yesterday, it was a usual day of work…  We worked with baby Lydia in an 88 degree room for 2.5 hours (add a couple of poops and pees in the mix and these are our usual working conditions ha!), and then munched on some of the most amazing chocolate croissants while everyone freshened up for family photos.  We took a couple of pictures of sweet Lydia with her older brother Jonathan and then the family as a whole, and then I finished up with pictures of just mom and dad with their new love.  As I clicked away, my ADD started to pull my mind away into the other room where slowly a roar of laughter became louder and louder in my ears.  I walked out of the room and slowly peeked around the corner, where I found Vasili juggling Doggy, Baby Monkey, and Big Monkey as Jonathan danced around him laughing hysterically.  While I love the photos that I take for clients to help them preserve their memories, these are the memories that I cherish the most and want to remember long after they’re over.  So thank you to my clients for not only inviting us to build their albums and memory books but also to them for helping us build ours 🙂

    I had no idea you took pics of them playing….how great!!! Jonathan couldn’t stop talking about you guys after you left and had a hard time going down for his nap after all the excitement. He really had a great time! Thanks so much for a wonderful morning, all the beautiful pictures, and playing with my silly monkey, Jonathan!

  4. […] got the sweetest addition – baby Lydia!  I think the day’s highlight for me (besides catching Vasili in the act of playing entertainer to her big brother) was when I heard Lydia’s big brother, Jonathan outside the door […]
