Just a a few quick faves from my first time through the images from this shoot. I know there are lots of people dying to see these…these little boys are pretty dang special and have quite the fan club! The opportunity to photograph these two was beyond exciting…goose-bump exciting. They did their best to continue my streak of shoots where sleeping newborns that can be posed any which way are a myth, but they were so dang cute I didn’t much care.


I am always excited for every photo shoot, but this one was extra special. I’ve known Christina and Rob more or less forever, and I like many people watched as they struggled to start their family. They don’t know this, but I thought of them incredibly often, especially during our own issues with trying to have a second baby. Their story gave me perspective, and their honesty and grace was inspiring. They are an adorable couple that sacrificed a lot and  in the end this sometimes unfair world managed to turn itself right.

Thank you so much for having me into your home, and for letting me photograph your beautiful boys! Many more photos coming soon.

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing a 6week old cutie named Paisley. Isn’t that just the cutest name? And speaking of cute…09-Jul-Harris14-bw-proof09-Jul-Harris19-proof09-Jul-Harris102-proof

Isn’t she something? She was of course, awake the whole time (because babies don’t sleep when I have my camera out) but she was such a happy girl and lots of fun to photograph.

Meet the adorable Mr. Mateo that I had the privilege of photographing recently. In keeping with my newborn record, he didn’t sleep much…I’m seriously starting to think that sleepy pliable newborns are a myth. No matter, because this boy was handsome and for the most part happy during our whole time together.

I was seriously giddy (once I got over my nerves) when mom told me that she had a guitar that was incredibly important to her Flamenco fanatic husband and a mantilla veil that had been her great grandmother’s in Cuba. “Something special to represent each of us” she told me. Like I said, nervous…but giddy.

We of course had to take some shots on the old scale. He was so mellow up there, I couldn’t believe it.

We did a great job planning for a very sleepy boy…but we got a pretty wakie boy. Darling, but awake! It started out pretty promising…
