You may recall the session I had with Stacey and Branden back in June as well as the maternity session I had with Stacey. Their beautiful babies (yes that's right - babies!) arrived on July 14th. The babies are just dreamy **swoon** and at twelve days old, already such rock stars! I absolutely fell in love with their tiny little features and their sweetness!! So without further ado, introducing..... Baby D and Baby V! Check out the b&w images from their very first photo session below. There are some fierce color images which I will post later.

Baby V working it for the camera - go girl! Daddy with his little girl.

Here's the handsome Baby D -- look at his cute little feet.

WARNING: Be prepared for tons of newborn sweetness ahead! In order to prevent an overload of the senses, I had to force myself to stop posting after the eighth image. I'll be saving the rest for this beautiful family to savor. Thank you "M" Family for allowing me to spend the day with you... your baby is absolutely gorgeous and oh so precious. What a gift!

A beautiful baby boy arrived on Monday, July 13th and I had the privilege of photographing him when he was not even a week old yet! Baby 'A' was so sweet and precious and quite alert for such a little guy! I don't think he wanted to miss out on the action ;-) There are tons of yummy images of this precious baby boy but I'm only posting one for now. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer!
