I love working with family’s, especially when they are adorable and up for anything. It is also especially fun when I get to shoot around my own home town. The G family contacted me a few months back. Karen had seen my work up in a local coffee shop and wanted to schedule a session to celebrate her daughter’s first birthday. We lucked into a break in the rainy weather last weekend and had a great time shooting around town and their neighborhood. The whole family was lovely, but little Serena stole the show with her super sparkly eyes and delicious smile.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
See I told you they are adorable.
Miss Serena was so good for me, just look at those baby blues!
I always love a beautiful mama & baby shot.
They were champs for me sitting in a slightly soggy field.
After shooting around their neighborhood we ran down to the local University. Karen spent her undergrad years here so it was nice to visit the place and use some of the lovely spots as a back drop.
Serena is clearly excited about fall too!
She is pure adorableness!
Cheese ball of cuteness!
Little miss is such a character! And one last shot of the whole family. Karen thanks for braving the weather and coming out to meet me. I had a great time with your whole family! I hope you all had a lovely birthday weekend, and Serena got some more cake! I will have the whole set for you very soon! For now lets get going on a blog challenge shall we? If you can get 25 people to comment on this post there is a free mini wallet brag book in it for you on the house. So leave some love people.

You guys look fabulous – what great work! Wonderful way to celebrate her birthday. 🙂 The last one of all three of you is my FAVORITE (yes that is a hint – I will gladly accept it as a Christmas Gift 4×6 is fine – I have just the frame). 🙂 tee hee
The black and white of Karen and Serena is incredible. I’ll take the one of the three of you in the field sitting down as well- like the background and the angle. Now everyone is going to be asking for pictures! Enjoy Vermont!

Those are some of the cutest pictures I have ever seen. You’ll have to come out to Vermont to take pictures of Serena’s cousin Calle.

Fabulous photos, Emiiy. You captured the essence of Serena to a “T”, but then she’s one smiley baby! Grandma G
Beautiful photos, Emily. I love the way you captured the sparkle in Serena’s eyes.
[…] ago I met with an adorable Newberg family to celebrate their baby turning one year old. We had a great session, so I was super excited when they called again this year wanting to capture the baby girl all grown […]
