I am happy to share a little bit of my own family… My precious treasure and the reason for my existence – my Oksana. These are my memories… This is who she is now, at this time in our lives!
Words cannot describe just how much she means to me! She provokes multitude of emotions that I am happy to feel whenever I am close to her or far away from her… I always feel blessed.
Brittany turned 1! And graduated from babies to toddlers 🙂 It was so great to photograph this new stage in Brittany’s life and catch up with the family…
I got to find out that Britt is an extremely active and curious toddler! Her favorite foods are cheese and berries. Her favorite book is “Peek-A-Who”! (She loves to look at herself in the mirror at the end.) She loves it when Mommy and Daddy sing the ABC’s to her. She loves watching her favorite show “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” Her favorite person is Mommy, but Daddy is right up there too! Britt LOVES animals in general, but is particularly fond of dogs and even knows how to say “woof, woof”! She also loves to play outside.
Britt was not quite walking at the time of the shoot, but is now full steam ahead! She is also learning to say a few words and signs.
At this age, her parents are the most proud of “her active and curious spirit! She is such a smart girl and is becoming very aware of the amazing world around her.
We LOVE to spend time together as a family! Our favorite activities include taking walks together, going to the park, going to the zoo, sharing meals together, and ‘play’ wrestling on the floor!”
Mommy told me: “This session reflects on the beautiful and smart little girl that Britt is growing up to be. It also showcases the joy that we have found together as a family of three.”
Brittany’s mom shared: “I remember how my Mom saw your work at her doctor’s office and was very impressed!” …That is how our friendship started 🙂
“We decided to do the first year package to capture Britt’s first year on camera! Babies grow fast and we wanted to create a keepsake that would help us to remember the various stages and ‘looks’ Britt went through in her first year.
You helped us create beautiful portraits that are creative, cute and will stand the test of time!
We were thrilled to be able to use my husband’s police gear for one of the portraits. It’s a great way to honor the work that he does and made for really cute photos of Britt in the BIG shoes and hat that her father wears!
We also did a set with hearts to commemorate February, the month Brittany was born.
We were thrilled at Marina’s suggestion to use the same tree branch and beads from her newborn and 6-month photos to show how much she’s grown and have a common theme across all 3 sessions.
And finally, the smash cake photo was quite a treat for everyone! It was so fun to watch Britt try cake for the first time and we are so glad to have had the chance to capture professionally memories of this special moment.
We also appreciate how you were so patient with Britt and knew tricks to make her comfortable and happy during the sessions.
We LOVE the results! There are a lot of baby photographers out there, but you bring a unique creativity to the photos that makes them stand out.”
It was such a pleasure to meet and get to know this family! I am looking forward to watch Brittany grow up and this family to grow 🙂
This was a wonderful photo session! Warm autumn day, beautiful light, and pretty little girl with gorgeous blue eyes. Brittany is growing up… It was so nice to see this family again and enjoy one of the last warm autumn days. Enjoy!
Alexis is an inquisitive baby and is always happy! She is so beautiful and the outfits only add to the beauty. I had a great time working with Alexis and chatting with her parents. 🙂
P.S. I am being late sharing this post, but still trying to catch up…
Anna is all grown up! This was the last session in the collection of Anna’s portraits from “Baby’s 1st Year”. It has been a while since I should have shared this, but as you all know – summer and fall is the busiest time for us, photographers. Trying to catch up now…
This session was a bit different… Just as got my very first shot of a family portrait, I noticed the face of the big brother started to change…slowly he started to lift up his head and his chin started to drop, eyebrows lifted. He started crying, pointing to the sky…
Guess what? We lost the balloons he was promised, right at the very beginning of the session… He did not smile entire session… He was heartbroken. Such a sad face. Not until the mom pulled out the cake. That made everything much better 🙂
Anna is a very happy baby, as always! I had fun and she did too! 🙂
