I had an absolutely wonderful time exploring and sharing in Vivian’s and Oliver’s world last week! Their willingness to share with me their daily lives was amazing. Almost instantly Vivian began showing me her garden and listing off all the plants she was trying to grow. I was extremely impressed by her little green thumb. From there on in it was a whirlwind experience from Vivian sharing her favorite sports, like swimming, to showing off her artistic skills on her etch-a-sketch. We also headed out to the swing set and backyard club house.

Little 6-month-old Oliver wowed me with his ease and comfort in front of the camera. Not once did he fuss, and instead he attempted to show off his newly learned ability to push himself up off the floor. I was so excited to be able to document his gummy grin!

Both Oliver and Vivian were enchanting to interact with and I highly appreciated the chance to experience and document their world with them. Thanks to Paige and her husband for having me over!

I was really excited to document these sisters interacting with one another. It was so interesting to document how each girl expressed her own distinct personality while also sharing in a larger family dynamic. We met up at the park and spent time following each sister individually and photographing her adventures on the playground. We also took some time to have fun taking big group shots of the whole gang. The most touching aspect of the experience was seeing how the older sisters watched after their younger siblings with such sweetness and love. Beautiful family!

Less than 2 days after the incredible experience of documenting Caroline Kelly Cooper’s birth, I returned to the hospital where proud and happy mom and dad, Matt & Mary, and the rest of the family were all spending time enjoying the newest (and the tiniest) member of their family! Thank you to Matt & Mary for having me there at such a fleeting and special time.

Every once in a while, I am offered the absolute privilege of photographing a birth. This morning, at 3:39am, I was with Matt & Mary Cooper as they welcomed their newest little one into the world, Caroline. She is so gorgeous!

This was the second time that I photographed Mary giving birth and again, I was blown away by her strength & grace, and deeply touched by Matt’s support of her throughout the entire process. I mean, Wow!

Mary is the president and chief founding mama of an great service company that brings together moms and baby sitters, called mommymixer.com I know she will have some amazing sitters to help in the days to come. :

I can’t wait to photograph little Caroline with her big brother, Mattie, and big sister, Ellie. More to come!
