I don’t think there is anything more complimentary than being given as a gift.
You should remember the super adorable D family from just a few months back. Well Amy had a good friend about to have her own little one and thought a emily g gift certificate was in order. I was so excited to hear the news that my littlest client was born, and tried to wait patiently for the call. Really I tried! When I finally heard from Erica I was over joyed to meet the little guy! By this time he was 5 weeks old and a little more alert than your typical newborn, but really he was a great little model for me.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
just look at those tiny toes and sparkly eyes. Just adorable!
and even a smile, I am pretty sure this one was for daddy. Or it could have been he was about to pee on me, who knows!
one thing Erica and I had in common is the love for the bare baby booty! Banks you may hate me when you are 16, but really I just had to.
after a little while the little dude tuckered out.
I just loved his perfect little mouth and button nose. 🙂
check him out all kicked back and relaxing. Such an angel boy.
he loves his hands by his face this one. Such a perfect little poser this one!
and of course I just had to wrangle mom & dad into the session as well! Check out how cute the entire family is.
and one last image from our session. Possibly my favorite. I love that little dude is the center of their universe, as it should be right now! This child is clearly loved.
Erica thanks again for having me out to your lovely home to meet your little dude. He is seriously adorable! I so enjoyed meeting all of you, and thanks again HUGE for including me in the Starbucks run. Dad you are a life saver!!! I will have much more for you to see very soon. I hope you enjoyed the little peek. And of course for all my new clients I would love to offer you a comment challenge. If you can get 30 people to comment on this little blog post I will hook you two up with 2 mini wallet brag books. Perfect for showing off a certain angel boy! So leave some love people. 🙂

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them all! So happy that I was able to give the GIFT of Emily G (Emily you really are a gift ) to a such a fantastic and warm family and a great friend that I am SO glad to have back in Portland (I didn’t laugh nearly as much when you were in NY)
Emily the pics are amazing!!! I’m so glad they turned out so well and i can’t wait to see more. Toes, and smiles, and bums, and lips, and even Mike and I look halfway decent, you’re a miracle worker! Thanks again Amy for the greatest gift and thank you Emily for doing what you do and doing it the best! Love it!
Oh my gosh – they are PHENOMENAL! Banks really is one of the most mature and wise looking infants I have ever seen (pictures of; still haven’t met him!) in my life. And I am so excited to see the strength and love and HUMOR and incredibly nurturing spirit of this family in these photos. What an amazing family!
Erica, he is precious! Such beautiful and charismatic features! Congrats!
