This is Caitlin.  I saw her last in January just a few short days after she was born when she came to my studio for her newborn photography session.  I couldn’t believe how much she has changed in just 3 short months.  In case you have forgotten, here she is…

She still has those beautiful cheeks though doesn’t she?

It was such a beautiful morning on the day of Caitlin’s session.  I had been out watering my garden before taking my kids off to school, and the light was coming through the trees so beautifully.  I often see beautiful fine art portraits done by photographers that I admire where they have taken babies into the great outdoors.  It is a marriage between everything that is perfect in nature.  The beauty of the world, with it’s crowning creation – the human body.  Something about portraits done out in nature just really apeal to me.  I have often thought about how fun it would be to go with a client to a beautiful exotic location for a session.  But not really feesible…

Until that morning, looking at my yard, with beautiful light hitting the ferns.  My own yard looked pretty much like paradise.  It was only minutes later that I had my little pram out in the yard hunting for the perfect spot to take a beautiful portrait of little Caitlin.  I have done some maternity sessions in my yard.  But Caitlin you are my first little baby to come home with a piece of me.  My garden, like my business (and my kids) are my pride and joy;-)
