Jon and I obviously love taking photos of people. It's energizing, rewarding, a blast, stressful, crazy, it pushes you on every creative level in your brain, and it's beautiful. Especially when you get photos back to people and they see how beautiful they are. We. love. that.
As much as we love taking photos of other people, there's nothing that makes us more giddy than seeing good photos taken of our own family. And there's nothing more fun than being in the middle of it and seeing just how cute they really are. THIS is why we bought a good camera just less than 2 years ago. This is what motivated us to be better and still does. This is all we ever wanted in the first place. To document our family, and to love what was documented. We actually don't do newborn shoots for our business because it's a lot of work and somewhat contrary to the nature/style of our business with all the detail-oriented posing and studio-like atmosphere it entails, but with our own baby...this was so. much. fun. We couldn't stop telling each other how cute she was over and over. She was a saint for our little homestyle photo shoot, and we totally wanted to eat her up.
This is our baby girl.

She is so beautiful and I LOVE these pictures!! You guys did an amazing job. I love all the different angles & crops. And I am loving your new home! The blue walls, the orange chair....soooo perfect!!
Just precious! Especially that one of her smiling! Makes me want another tiny lil' one. You guys are so talented.
Those are exceptional shots. I love where she is smiling!
DARLING!
Those are adorable!
I think you repainted your house just so you could take those pictures. As always, your talents just shine and your family will forever be blessed by your pictures to record your life together. PS - I think you'd put Anne Geddes out of business if you published those.
This looks straight out of a magazine. A-maz-ing! I cannot get over how much of a cutie Lila is! :)
Melissa, she is DARLING! We did a photo shoot with our little one too (didn't turn out nearly this amazing, though - you guys are awesome!) and I have to agree - nothing beats taking pictures of your own kids.
Congratulations. She really is beautiful!
Wow. You have seriously, amazing skills. She is precious, and you captured such adorable expressions!
Oh Melissa - she's sooooo beautiful! And of course your pictures are stunning as always (the ones you took of Henry at that age are still some of my favorite - I even have some framed in his room!). BTW, it must be said, that orange chair is awesome!
You two are such a team. I love it! this "home style" session is worth big bucks in my eyes. She is precious!
Just beautiful! Your photos are fantastic and your model is cute as can be!
