When a friend has a baby, it makes a newborn session all the more special for me. I am so happy for my dear friend Mollie, who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. We go way back, from when I worked as the Activity Director at a nursing home. Mollie, who was one of my assistants, was someone that I could always count on, rain or shine; words can not describe how grateful I am for all the times that Mollie pulled through for me when I needed her, always going the extra mile, always someone I could place my complete trust in. A friend like that is truly priceless.
I love this first image, and I have my Dad to thank for the awesome tree stump prop. He actually hollowed out the inside with a chainsaw to make it easier to move around, plus he made another one for me that has bark. Thanks, Dad!!
Look how precious, smiling in his sleep. I wonder what he’s dreaming about.
My photog friend Aaron Varga was there to help out, and I must say, I was impressed with his ability to jump right in and learn how to calm the baby. Thanks, Aaron!
Mollie, congratulations on your little one. I am so happy for you – he is going to be the joy of your life! XOXO Sandy
Aaron - Woah, who is that helpful and incredibly talented assistant you have there!? :)
These photos are just beautiful. I love that you captured the split second where Declan smiled, and I really like the two of mom & baby; such great emotion.
Sandy - Lol, he’s awesome, isn’t he? And he really IS helpful and incredibly talented! :)
Amanda - Ooo tree stump ! I can just picture you and Eric rolling those into the car and strong-arming them back to the studio ! Made of a great photo – Props to Aaron for being the baby whisperer!
Jenny - Sandy, these photos are so beautiful. Love the first one.
