If you look a few posts back, you will see Claire's beautiful maternity photos. Claire had her baby early and was totally distraught over what to do! Should she get another photographer or wait for me to come back from my summer vacation! What to do when you have a newborn!!!! But... luckily, the stars aligned, we came home early, got the photos and WALA! Here we are! Sharing an amazing newborn session!!!
This was the kind of photo shoot where you feel like you are just hanging out with friends! I had such a great time! 
Here are some of my favorites... but once again, I totally over shot and now Claire is going to have a heck of a time choosing prints!

Sometimes, many times, when you do a newborn shoot, the baby is just not happy about all of the fuss. Fights sleep and then eventually these sweet babies will tire out and go to sleep. But this beautiful baby girl was so calm and so awake the whole photo shoot! It was amazing. She was just so happy to be awake. Didn't cry when I moved her and was happy to be changed and moved around all we needed. She was a dream!!!!
And her beautiful big sister!!! She was so cute and camera ready and LOVES her baby sister and her raisins! ;) 
And here are some of my favorite photos from the photo session!

Here is Tess!!! She is a sweet miracle. Her grandmother, mom and dad were so patient with me as we tried to wait out Tess' non sleeping this day! But in the end, we got beautiful images and a very tired little model!
Thanks so much for letting me into your home to capture these beautiful memories!
I hope you enjoy them!

Piu is the family's name... But I think it also means more in Italian! 
Well, this long awaited, much wanted, completely loved pair of twins came to me for a visit and a photo shoot. I was so happy to capture these for the parents. They really appreciate my art and they really love their baby girls. 
So, here they are!!!!

One of the greatest compliments for me is when a family keeps coming back. I have known Baby Sam's family for years now! I documented his mom's first pregnancy and newborn and now I got the honor of doing Sam's newborn session. 
It is so amazing to see 2 siblings and the differences in the two of them. It just goes to show you that no two people are the same!
Sam is really a beautiful baby! And it really was my honor to take these portraits for his family and my friends.

Not only does this baby have the best head of hair, but so does his mamma!!!! Seriously! And his name fits that head of hair perfectly! 
I really enjoyed shooting Dylan and getting to hang out with his family. The best part of my job is meeting amazing people and helping capture priceless moments in time for them. 
Here is your amazing baby Brittany! He is as beautiful as you are!
Congratulations!

I have never, ever met a first time mother with the grace and calmness of this mamma. Seriously. She even calmed me, just being around her. Dad is the worrier in this family and the tie that bound us for this particular photo shoot. Mr. Phil, that is what we call him here, was my son's asst. teacher last year and a really important role model to him. So when he asked me to document this time for him and his family, I was honored. 
Here is your baby boy. I hope I did him justice!!!!!

I did these images when I was just starting out in my studio work. Hannah's Grandma asked me to repost these images for her... so I looked at my work from then and almost fell down! What was I thinking with my editing! OH MY!!!!
Anyways... so these are the new and improved Baby Hannah, for most of you, this will be the first time seeing these anyways!

One of my beautiful maternity clients/great friends, Cherie, had her baby this past week. I got a chance to visit her, her husband and baby Kian in the hospital with some friends, Juan and Anna Femath. Juan and Anna do videography and video production and they are truly amazing at what they do. You can find their work by visiting http://www.femath.com/ .
I worked with Juan while I was at Combat Camera, during my time in the Air Force. Juan helped me to put together a few family videos and I have always been in awe of his editing abilities. It is always an honor when I see my work in his videos. I have to say, Juan has found his match in Anna! She is the Ying to his Yang and she really is a talented and amazing person!
The video you are about to watch is shot and edited by Juan. The photography featured in it is my work. It is really moving. What a great memory for our friends.
And, most importantly, we would like to welcome Baby Kian to the ever growing Combat Camera family!!!!

Kian Myles, born 12 May 2009, at Holy Cross Hospital, Silver Springs MD, at 8 lbs. from parents Myles and Cherie Cullen. Photography by Beth Caporaletti. Video shot on DVCPRO HD with the Panasonic AGHVX200. Congrats to the Cullen family!
