Those eyes.

I dare you to find prettier eyes than this little darling.

I think I have spent my entire life trying to make my eyelashes look half as great as these.

You should really see her whole series of little parts.  Just gorgeous in natural light.

shhhhh….

It is so amazing to see the miracle of a brand new baby.

It’s even more amazing to have the honor of photographing them.

This little guy is so peaceful, so photogenic, and absolutely so loved.

What a life….to enjoy moments like these.E_008295_130521 E_008383_130521real film. real fun. real art.

I am SO funny…

….apparently kids just DIE laughing.  Well, I certainly can’t take all of the credit.  I have a few amazing assistants that can act like a monkey at the drop of the hat!  See???

ROCK YOUR TUTU!

It’s a great cause, and a great way to get a reduced session fee.  Don’t all girls love wearing tutus???  I do, and I’m 33!  Helpusadopt.org is a great champion for couples and individuals who build their families through adoption.  For many, adoption is the ONLY way to become parents, and Becky Fawcett (go visit www.helpusadopt.org for the whole story) has found a way to help finance this very expensive solution for deserving families…………but she cannot do it alone.

Classic Kids is proud to support Helpusadopt.org, now let’s rock some tutus!

 Big City Moms and Kidville are showing their support, and YOU can help too!

What a Happy Day!!!!!

Had to share….  just two brothers, chilling out, relaxing, and BEING SILLY!  It’s really too bad I have absolutely no fun at my job!!!!!    Wait until the rest of the images are back!

E_002283_130424-2 E_002284_130424-2I cannot contain myself for how amazing this shoot was.  It was so hard to pick which ones to post!  The spoils of having cute subject material is such a hard way to live…. :)

It’s hard to not have favorites.

It’s really amazing when a moment clicks and I just KNOW I’m going to love a family forever.  I know, I know, it’s my shining magnetic personality…tee hee….but sometimes I just keep thinking of the photographs forever and ever.

This little one has the intelligence of a 15-year-old, the beauty of a movie star, and the humor of someone just her age. I could photograph her every day and not get bored.  Plus she thinks I’m funny, so (to quote Bill Murray in Caddy Shack) I got THAT going for me.

It takes so long to get to all the pictures that I love love love…but it’s always worth the wait. Being too busy is a good problem to have, right?!

So here is a three set of my muse.  Seriously.  My muse.  :) NY_11757_05Areal film. real fun. real art.

Joyful Photo

A happy baby will delight and awe and inspire.  When my amazing assistant Darya did this test photo session, we couldn’t have been more thrilled to experience utter joy. The grainy black and white studies are just to die for.  I cannot wait for Mom to see the rest! NYd_00048_130328wm
