Last time we left off wondering what outfit would baby Piper make her big debut in…. :)

And the answer is….

…. the insanely adorable vintage yellow onesie!  Which, by the way, just so happened to go perfectly with a sweet little yellow flower headband I had made specially by my favorite headband designer, Amelia Hambrook.

When I met up with this sweet couple not long ago for a maternity session I had such a great time I couldn’t wait to come back and meet Piper once she was born.  And let me tell you, the little lady did not disappoint.  Seriously, hands down, one of my favorite newborn sessions and birth stories. ever.

So in rare form I think I’ll let the images speak for themselves this time, as I am beyond proud of how they turned out.  The light, the beauty, the love and emotion.. just simply enjoy it all XO (oh and of course a big thank you THANK YOU to Piper and her family for allowing me the privilege and joy of capturing her journey here. Looking forward to getting together again soon for a little double date with Vasili next time! ;) )

above: I just have to say though.. I think that these images of Piper breastfeeding are simply breath taking.  As I have often said, breastfeeding and skin-to-skin time between baby and parents are my favorite moments at newborn sessions.. and I’d like to believe they’ll prove to be among my clients’ favorite images years from now when their little ones aren’t so little anymore :)

chicago fine-art pregnancy photographers | enchiladas.

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012

The other weekend I spent with seriously some of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I originally met Kate through a mutual friend whose nursery she designed.  After capturing her work for On to Baby and also getting to know her occasionally over the last year, Kate is my hands-down favorite interior designer in Chicago and the owner of Noble Design Group.

Needless to say I was beyond excited when Kate told me she’d be expecting a little girl of her own and I couldn’t wait to capture her own growing family and nursery :)

So the other week we got together for an early morning session to capture their life right before baby Piper’s arrival, and to spend a few hours with these two was just cloud nine for me.  Their warmth was so infectious and they were even kind enough to invite me to stay for lunch afterwards.  We walked around a local park, saw the duck pond and a pack of crazy squirrels (long story), and then walked back home to hang out for a bit more.  Once we were finished shooting we enjoyed chips and salsa & enchiladas (which I must get the recipe for, they were so good!) and talked about technology overloading, helping the less fortunate, and their mission trips to China that they participate in often.  It was the perfect session and I hope that these images reflect exactly what I’m talking about.

Anyway, thank you so much again Kate & Brandon for having me over and letting me capture your love, I can’t wait until baby Piper arrives soon! (only 3 more weeks!!) XO
