This particular session called for lot’s of black & white, it’s just one of those things that when you’re editing comes to you. Joshua like many newborns did really well, we just tired him out. We had gorgeous light from their bedroom window. Once again I enjoyed watching an amazing family “just be” and their love and connection with each other makes me get all weepy and want to take Joshua and put him in my pocket.

Joshua is so inquisitive and very observant. In just these few weeks of life he is expressing madly and deep affection towards his parents, he stares at them like they are the only people in the room, laughs, reacts and smiles at them. What a sweet little boy he is already! This first one is one of my favorites.

Vero and Hugo, I wish you nothing but the best to you and your little family. Thank you for allowing me into your home and investing in me, I am deeply proud to have you in my portfolio. I hope Joshua one day forgives me for posting photos of his bottom, but really, just tell him they are a work of art!

What I enjoyed most of this session besides the immediate chemistry amongst us (you photogs out there know about this, it’s either there or not and it makes the job a lot easier when it’s there) is the loyalty, dedication and love that Hugo has for his wife, Veronica. Yes, she reciprocates the love and devotion as well, but it is so rare to see this level of commitment and devotion in any marriage nowadays that I was taken back. He was so into the photo shoot and even recommended a pose or two that he wanted me to shoot. It made my job so easy, not a lot of guys like to have their photo taken, none the less be this into it – big props to Hugo!

The best compliment Veronica gave me is when we were laughing at the beginning of the session and she said “you laugh exactly like Socorro” and of course caused more laughter! I’ve never been told that before, but either way I love it.

She just sparkles!

Love his expression and imitation of a preggo belly.

Veronica, you’re just gorgeous.

Thank you Socorro for the referral, I think your whole family will keep me employed for a long time to come.

Working on some business planning for the year, I’m really excited for upcoming projects, the newborn sessions and a possible wedding shoot. Not to mention a fun packed weekend, will be back soon with some recipes, more lovely photos and all that jazz!
