Erik Jerome

He's HERE!  Erik Jerome arrived ON his due date at 4:13 pm - 7 pounds, 13 ounces, 21 inches.
I met him for the first time on December 9th when he turned one month old.  He endured many costume and background changes and only shed a few tears (which is still pretty cute!).  He apparently did not find me super amusing because he remained very serious for most of our time together!  Luckily he loves his mama and gave her a few adorable looks along the way.
Here are my favorite pictures from my morning with baby Erik and mama Joan!


   

Sarah and Greg's Wedding

Sarah and Greg thought they were going to have a winter-themed, fall wedding.  They had the winter theme: ice-blue dresses and snowflake table decorations.  They had the wonderful fall backdrop: red, yellow, and green trees.  But instead of a fall day, they had a day more like mid-summer!  Bugs, sun, sweat, and all.

No matter the weather, the colors and the smiles were just perfect!  I could not get enough of the brilliant red tree behind the minister....

Joan, Shawn, and Baby Boy O

Joan is my AM counterpart at LearningRx.  She and her husband, Shawn, are expecting a sweet baby boy on November 9th.  For her baby shower, I gave her two free sessions: one pre-baby and one post-baby (actually, probably a lot post-baby!).  So I spent a Sunday afternoon at their townhouse: outside on a beautiful fall day, in their living room with some clever background finagling, and in their newly painted nursery.

Photographer's Note:  Working with a puppy is equally as difficult as working with a one-year old!  Sammy was very excited to have a new person in the house, so was equally as stubborn when it came to posing for pictures.  Photographer's gold = patience. :)

One thing that I can't wait for?  To meet Baby Boy O next month!
