…is here!! The stars aligned and I got to go out and take some pictures of the little man. A few minutes into the shoot he found a rollie pollie which pretty much defined the vision of our shoot.
Here I am popping out of my hibernation to share some newborn photos of this special little guy. Baby number five to an amazing mommy and the sixth child in their lovely family. I have photographed his siblings at one point or another over the years. It was such a joy to welcome baby S and document his beginning. Our shoot day turned out to be dark and rainy but little S brightened it up with his cheery disposition.
hot off the press…the B family album.
I realized that I didn’t announce the results from out blog contest here but did on our Facebook page. You can “like” our page to keep up with the news + tidbits that often don’t get posted on the blog. The cute little guy you see above on canvas won a 16 x 20 canvas + $300 gift certificate for his parents. The 2nd place went to no. 8 and third to no. 10. Thanks to all those that voted for their favorite image and commented on the blog/facebook. Also, the Target gift card was won by Lindsay Vandemotter for commenting on our Facebook page!

Thought I would share a few more snaps from our India trip that I had a chance to play with. A glimpse of the quieter, scenic side of India and away from the concrete jungle of Mumbai. We visited a vacation spot close to Mumbai called Mahabaleshwar. I have memories of visiting out there as a kid with my family and was happy to make that trip with my little guy!
making new friends…
We stopped by this teeny beautiful church. It was closed but the groundskeeper was nice enough to open it for us.

While in India, I had an opportunity to catch up with my friend Aparna and her gorgeous daughter. Remember her? Aparna and I met in kindergarten and along with a group of friends have stayed in touch over the years. Although we go back every two years and meet for a short time; it feels like we can pick up where we left off. I hope our kids grow up and become friends as well. Here are some pictures that I took while the kids played together.
Beautiful! Love that you have been friends for so long – very cool!
Thanks Corey. I feel fortunate to have my friends in my life.
