I received a text message from Brandi this morning informing me that she had given birth to Lilly and that it was time for a photo session!  Brandi and Toby were really wanting to have some photos done while the family was at the hospital.  So I gathered up my gear and headed over to the Adventis Medical Center

The great thing about being a wedding photographer is that no two days are the same and that many of our clients consider us their photographer for a lifetime.  We have the opportunity to document the most incredible moments in peoples' lives and have the opportunity to develop relationships with couples that last for years and years.

Congratulations Brandi and Toby and thank you so much for the chance to hold your beautiful little girl!  You make my heart melt.

Baby Hunter was born on February 3, 2010 and entered the world at 21 inches long and weighing 9 lbs 9 oz.  He is such a darling and he really likes hearing the sound of the camera shutter.  He kept looking around trying to figure out the camera noises and especially liked seeing the flashes go off from time to time.  We got some smiles, some nap time, some awake time, some more nap time, and even more awake time -- the life of a little one!

Congratulations to Monica and Danny on their beautiful baby boy.

Our most recent family portrait session brought us out to the Pearl District for some urban style portraits.  I really love this part of the city and it is such a treat to use as a backdrop.  Bring the family into town and explore what this amazing city has to offer.  Here are some of our favorites from our session with The Seibel Family:

We headed to Cathedral Park for the Johnson family's portrait session.  Given the weather forecast, we wanted to find a location that would work whether there was rain or sunshine.  Here are a few favorites from the session:

Jennifer and I recently met up with Hailey for her 18 month photo session in the park.  She is quite the big girl these days being able to carry mom's purse all over the place.  She was so excited to explore and even managed to find some rain puddles!  The session was so much fun and we wanted to share a few of our favorites:

There are so many precious moments in life worth celebrating and documenting for years to come.  Most of the relationships we establish with our clients begin with the wedding day and extend well beyond -- from maternity sessions to family reunions, holiday portraits to birthday parties, and everything in between.  Come celebrate with us by having your biggest moments captured forever.

Brandi & Toby recently hired us to document their maternity session.  They are absolutely beside themselves with excitement for the arrival of their little girl Lilly.  And quite frankly, we can't wait either!!  Once Lilly arrives, we will update the blog with Lilly's first ever photo session.

Brandi:

Oh my goodness Paul! We absolutely love the photos. This session turned out to be just as amazing and incredible and emotional as our engagement session. This is something we have waited for for a long time, and to be able to capture the happiness and joy that Toby and I are experiencing right now is so special to us! Thank you for everything, your professionalism, your eye for the right poses, your semetry :) and your understanding for how very special these photos will be to us for the rest of our lives! We can't thank you enough!

For those of you who have been following our blog for some time, Janice and Tom may look familiar.  We photographed their wedding in September of 2006 and we most recently had the opportunity to meet up with them again for another significant event in their life.  Welcome baby Peter!  He was born on November 23, 2009.  Janice, Tom, Peter, and I met up just a few days ago for a 6 week session.  It is such a pleasure to document such special moments in peoples' lives.  Thanks to Janice and Tom for such a wonderful photo session -- and thanks to Peter for being such a champ.  Stay tuned for Peter's 6 month session in May 2010.

This time of year is perfect for outdoor portraits.  The leaves are turning color and the backdrop could not be any more ideal.  Give us a call to schedule your fall portrait session.

Last week we had the opportunity to visit with Vivienne Rose -- this time for her 6 month portrait session.  She is growing up so quickly and is quite the little cutie.  Here are a few of our favorites from the session:
