the Iligans are cool, they are a very smart couple (both are scientists) and very, very humble and laidback.

baby martin just joined them, he is a baby who has tons of character, he lets mom and dad knows what he wants, for sure.

he looks into your eyes with interest, i think he is REALLY into faces, especially the eyes, it amazed me, just because he was so new to the world

what a blessing it is working with people like Melanie, Roger and little Martin.

i enjoyed every bit of it. hope your little man is sleeping through the night by now.

… isn’t this a melting heart picture?

my new little friend

he is so CUTE and so alert of his surroundings

i have this thing i love to do with my kids, i record mini-interviews with them, i ask random questions that they, with their little, fascinating minds respond to in such cute ways, every time .

their answers fill my heart with joy.

so i thought it’d be a great thing to do with my clients and post it on my blog

The Barwick’s are one of the sweetest families i have ever met and one of the most popular on this blog (you can see them here, here, here & here).

Here’s the mini interview with Devin, their handsome boy. enjoy

Hanna is happy, she is happy ALL the time, she is comfortable in any situation and with everyone , she looks right into your eyes and smiles. during our session she was just learning how to walk and fell, hurt herself and cried, but just for a moment because she had to get back to her “happy mode”.

there is no interview with hanna, yet, so i’ll tell you few random things about her:

she is 1

has a brother that loves her and shows it.

she can stand on her big toe better than any professional ballerina.

her grace has made the Barwick home a perfect place.

she can be bribed with little fruit puffs.

she is absolutely adorable

Shay and Josh, meeting you and working with you throughout these years has been a GREAT pleasure, you better keep having babies, so i keep capturing these beautiful memories for you.

love

this sweet family is the gerhkens, i had the absolute pleasure to work with them and loved it, chelsea is a doula here in greensboro, she mentioned that over the phone and when i met her in person i was quite impressed, excuse my ignorance in the field, but i always thought doulas were ladies with white, long hair that help deliver your baby at home, but i was obviously wrong, you’ll see when you see chelsea in the images below.

these are few of my favorites from our photo-session, they truly are a reflection of their laid-back, loving spirit.  thank you chelsea and emmett for all of your kindness.

hope you enjoy them!

dharma was great with both, her baby brother cohen and with my camera

hands full anyone?

lovely….

gorgeous details of the baby boy

she is so adorable

and very playful

love this one

beautiful family… what a pleasure to work with you 4.

see you guys soon.

for those who visit my blog often, you know that these little faces (well, 2 are not so little anymore) are regulars around here, and around our house too … this time we introduce a new little one, who came unexpectedly and has delighted us all, his name is alex, he is 5-months old and like his big brother, he hit the lottery with those fantastic blue eyes…

rachel and jose and their party of 5 joined us for the StudioMini sessions event we threw 2 weeks ago as part of our new “Studio-PhotoShoot” offering, these sessions take place at this AMAZING photo studio near downtown greensboro, and the kids seem to love it as much as the adults! you’ll see why.

dear villalbas thank you all for making it so easy and so fun for me. working with you is ALWAYS a pleasure.

princess celia. the one on the right is SO her.

… those eyes! (sigh) those eyes…

here he is, mr. alex . welcome to my blog baby boy.

jacob and celia are so full of energy. jacob might have the most contagious laugh i’ve heard.

p.r.e.t.t.y.

this candid laughs are coming to you thanks to the help of my dear friend martin, i can’t imagine what was he doing behind my back, i don’t want to know it, but it worked

thanks once again guys, you make such beautiful and happy kids.

love

hanna is the gorgeous new baby girl at the barwick’s house, they are regulars already on my blog, i love when i post their pictures because ALL of their family comes to visit my blog and leaves sweet messages,  that totally makes my day, i’m sure you remember them form here and here…
well, here is hanna, she  is SO So cute, preciously teeny tiny little creature, everything on her is perfect and tiny, her nose, her toes, her ears, her hands, awww,  when i held her, for few seconds i wanted to keep her, then i remembered that she’s still waking up several times in the middle of the night, so i changed my mind but i will come back in 6 months… she is just adorable, so is my big boy devin, last time i saw him he was just starting to walk, now he loves soccer and is a total champion golfer, i’m not exaggerating that, you would be totally amazed at how this kid golfs (good for you josh, next time i see you, you’ll have nail polish on your fingernails)…

here you are my sweetheart, you are just perfect!…

precious…

counting kisses… 10 little kisses for 10 teeny tiny toes (love that book)

this is a lucky girl…

when devin is winning the Masters and he is rich and famous, i’ll be selling these e-bay to make my millions too

handsome. handsome. handsome.

i think devin is doing very good with his new sister, but he hasn’t quite figured out what is really going on.

one of my fav families…

nice to meet you precous girl…

dear, shay and josh, you are both pure awsomeness, i love working with you and i feel so blessed to have met you and to be able to capture all these images of your gourgeous family.

thanks again for a wonderful session.

love

Carter is an ADORABLE baby, honestly he is one of those babies you would love to take home with you after the photo-session is finished, ashley, his mother, was worried that he wouldn’t be in his best mood since we scheduled the session during his cranky time of the day…well, here is how he welcomed me (a total stranger with a big black thing in her hands pointing it right in his face)…

really, could he be any cuter?

these are a few of his favorite things (so far)…

“books”, not only does he enjoy books, but he already has his favorites and when he’s being read to, he pays absolute attention and flips the pages himself when he is ready for the next one, like a little man.

“twinkle twinkle little star”, good that i had mastered this song with my children, because it was a hit and made carter smile like this…

“snack time”, of course, who doesn’t right?

and last but not least, “mommy and daddy”…

bye bye my sweet boy, it was such a pleasure working with you …

ashley and scott, you have such a sweet and beautiful baby boy. thanks very much for all your kindness, it was great meeting you all.

ok, i want to start by saying that i can’t write too much because this family has been waiting for this post FOREVER, all they want now is seeing their images. but honesty i do not need to say much, all you have to do is to look at the pictures to realize what a great family they are. the “villalbas” are our good friends and incredible neighbors, remember them here?…

now i just want to tell you rachel and jose that i love you, i love your family and i love living right next to you. enjoy your pictures

jacob is SO SO SO much fun to work with, i’d photograph him everyday.

and celia is the sweetest little princess…

pretty, pretty girl…

one of my favorites!

so cute, isn’t it… these two are so good together.

i want a picture like this of me and mickesito.

A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.

thanks vecinos, for waiting so long and being so nice about it.

besitos to all.

love

i think there isn’t anything cuter than the little parts of a baby’s body…

these are all so genuine, makes me want a third child ….

oh!!! i love this one so much…..
