A sneak peek for C. and D. -- it was lovely meeting you and I cannot wait to meet baby M. very soon! I can already tell that your child will be surrounded by love, laughter, and--of course--great design! Thank you for allowing me to capture this exciting time.

A housekeeping note: While I will continue shooting and working with clients on their orders through Tuesday, after Wednesday I will be incommunicado most of the time through Friday for the first (extra)ordinary workshop. I'm so excited to spend time with the photographers who have chosen to attend, but that means that some of the non-pressing e-mails that have been piling up in my in box may have to wait until after the workshop.  Thank you for understanding!

It was so lovely to see the K. family again!  Here they are from their session two years ago at their home (black & white) and recently at the studio with baby G. and now big brother L.!

Of course we had to include Miss Bailey.  Needless to say, G. has fabulously spiky hair, just like his brother did for his newborn images.  Thank you, K. family!

It was such a delight to photograph the wonderful H. family, who are soon to be three . . . or four if we count furbaby Max! I had a great time chatting with them about this exciting time and, of course, capturing some lovely images at the new studio.  I cannot wait to meet baby L. very soon.  Thank you for including me in this special time, C. & F. Here's a little sneak peek for you! 

Yes, the natural light studio in Wayne is open at last!  There are still many canvas and print samples on the way, a new rug on the way and other various objets d'art in transit, and some beautiful European toys still to be bought at Genes, but I've come to realize that the studio will always be a work in progress on some level--meaning I will get it "done" only to start restyling, right?  Or, as one of my best photographer friends recently said, I will attain the elusive "perfect" and then start looking for a new space to lease.  ha ha!

An official announcement and open house information will be going out to clients soon and a few of the already-scheduled sessions in the studio will appear on the blog this week and next.  For now, however, a quick peek inside. I will spare everyone the before images because, believe me, they would make you recoil in horror! ;)

What what what? Parking in Wayne? A dream come true! Yes, that is my car. :)

Adorable letterpress coasters from Two Paperdolls.

And of course I had to have a bed for my favorite baby-on-bed images!

This junior Panton chair is my favorite ever (well, until the Lou Lou ghost arrives next week).

Finally, my own little model had to get in on the action.  As I am sure is evident from this image, I take no credit for either the styling or the pose.  ha ha!

Thank you for indulging me! :)

What could be more fun than jumping on the bed?  Maybe bouncing up and down with your big brother or little sister--your pal for life.  I had such a lovely time photographing the R. family; here's their long-awaited sneak peek with many more to come soon in the gallery.

Bouncy fun . . . is it more fun to bounce or to collapse in a fit of giggles at the end?

Wait, don't answer that!  Clearly the best part is snuggling with the whole family at the end. :)

An adorable little girl and a most scholarly gentleman. :)  Thanks again, R. family!
