this session was very special to me because marissa and her family have been a special part of my life for a long time.  i remember way back in the fall; talking about her session when she was not even showing yet.  now the babies are here!  marissa and joel couldn’t have been more laid back for this session.  on little sleep and with two five day old babes, they were go very “go with the flow”.  baby spit up, clothes changes, a little “wee”…nothing could shake these new parents.  and not much except hunger could keep meyer and remy from stealing the spotlight!  they’re all so lucky to have each other.  i feel blessed that i was one of the first “outsiders” to meet the babies.  they didn’t disappoint!  they are so beautiful!  take a look for yourselves at some of my fav’s:

elliot decided he wanted to stay in his mommy’s belly a week longer than expected so we had to do a bit of rescheduling but we still got him in within his first week of life.  if he’s anything like his big brother, he will be full of personality.  it will definitely be fun to watch him grow up this coming year and beyond!  I went over to michelle and dave’s home for our session and it was lots of fun.  elliot is just adorable and such a good baby!  the space heater and the gorgeous weather outside helped lull him to sleep, letting us pose him lots of different ways.  here are just a few of my favorites.  you don’t know me yet elliot, but thanks for letting me capture who you are!

can’t resist a baby smile no matter what!

seriously. with parents who look like that, how can he be anything but gorgeous!  and they are seriously just as nice as they are good looking.
