Butterfly at Sunset

I haven't posted in forever. I'm literally waiting for the baby to come...any time now. Owen and I were playing outside the other night before bed and this butterfly landed on our fence. I like that the fence needs paint in this photo. I think it adds more texture. These butterflies don't normally make it up this far north, but due to the warm spring have found their way up here.

Mama ME-a

Me at 32 weeks! Baby is coming so soon. I tried for some dramatic lighting with a strobe flash. It didn't quite work out the way I wanted but I'm still happy with the photo.

Baby Paxton

Isn't this little guy just adorable? I went to Horseheads last weekend to do this photoshoot with friends Stacy and Ryan (and of course to visit the family!) He was an angel for us and slept through most of the crazy poses I was making him do. Mom made this adorable hat which came in handy too-thanks Mom!
Here's some more-

Ryan James

Remember these people? It was a good thing we got in that maternity session because this little guy was ready to join us shortly afterward. Meet Ryan James, the cutest little peanut ever. He wasn't even quite 6 lbs when we did this photoshoot last weekend, but he was a supermodel. Probably the easiest newborn I have shot so far. Here's some more of this cutie.

Great Expectations

I had the pleasure of doing a maternity shoot for my friend Becky and her husband Rob who are expecting their first baby (boy) on March 8th. I haven't had a shoot in many months and had a new camera, so I was feeling a little out of my element, plus I'm not used to shooting indoors. We got some nice shots of the happy couple and a very cute bump. Here's some others-

Awakening

Owen has very few days left in his little crib. His big boy bed is all ordered and ready to go by next week. I'm sad because he is ready too. He told me the other day- "Owen want big boy bed mommy, put crib away! All done crib!" I snuck up to his room to get him up from his nap the other day and took a few shots of him waking up.






Nothing too stunning photographically here, but need to catch these last moments of baby-hood.

Flaky

Finally got some snow here in Buffalo. Unfortunately while the flakes were pretty, they were coming so fast that I couldn't get a good isolated flake like I wanted. It quickly turned into pellets after 30 minutes. Here's another-
