I consider myself so lucky with the newborn lifestyle sessions in all the most adorable nurseries I get to photograph.  But usually it’s just newborn and the occasional maternity session for in home sessions.  Most of my clients want their family sessions outdoors.  Stacia asked if we could start the session at their house and then possibly move to a nearby area that I often use as a location for my family sessions.  Sounded like a good plan.  I show up to their house and it is simply rad.  I love getting to photograph a family in their very own space, their home.  Oh and finishing up the session at the nearby location…so not needed when you have a row boat in your front yard.  What!?!  It was left over from little dude’s first birthday party and you sure believe I was going to utilize it!  And for the win, as I was leaving Stacia, who owns the crazy delicious Frosted Cupcakery in Belmont Shore, sent me off with some pumpkin bread as a thank you.   I believe I was on a gluten free kick at that moment and this pumpkin bread broke me.  It was totally worth it 😉
