… to look THAT gorgeous after 3 kids (mind you 3 BOYS under 7), at the end of the day and NO make-up on. It’s just not fair. 
Meet my sweet friend Mandy, the *beautiful* face and tremendous talent behind Leap Photographic. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to document your special day, look no further!
Have I mentioned how beautiful and sweet she is? And so are her adorable children.
I come from a large family (OK, it’s only me and my sister) but I must have at least 100 cousins… and I’ve been known as the most energetic kid among them all. I mean… I was by far the busiest kid on the block. And I think I’ve met a “mini-me”. This little lady is 150% busy, she would not stay in one place more than a few seconds and she definitely kept me (and mom and dad and grandparents) on our toes.
I have been photographing her ever since she was born documenting her milestones, and her mom is awesome at decorating their beautiful home with portraits from our sessions. I told mom this session would take on a more journalist look since little miss would be more active… little did I know she would be that active! This toddler is just full of energy! She is such an energetic busy kid, she rarely stops moving when she is awake. I wish I had even an ounce of her energy!! If that is not a burst of energy, I don’t know what is!
She is growing up so fast…. so fun and full of spunk — there is not one bit of shyness here! This kid exudes energy (and beauty). She sure gets cuter by the day. She is a perfect mix of mom and dad. It’s just not fair to have that much beauty in one family.
this may be one of my personal favorites, I just *love* her expression and those stunning eyes…
You can’t tell from the photos how fast this young lady was, but let me tell you we even tried (everyone in the) bath tub, we actually chased her around the entire house, indoors, outside…
Definitely my type of kid. I had an amazing time with you guys. It sure was fun!

Here I am neglecting my poor blog again… I’ve been so busy working away and editing a number of sessions, and have a busy weekend/week ahead. Lots of sneak peeks coming up!
I thought I’d stop by and just post a few of this little peanut. He was a dream to work with and the parents were so fabulous. Mom is such a strong woman, she is a true survivor with an inspiring story. She has the sweetest voice and baby would calm down just hearing her talk… so sweet! He loves her so much, I feel so blessed to be able to document it. He also adores his dad and loooves being lifted up in the air like in the photo below… sooo cool! Dad would carry him around like that for baby’s delight! Neat! I also love his sweater, knitted with love by grandma… beautiful! Such a great session with a fantastic, gorgeous family.
I had a wonderful morning with you guys, thanks for having me!

Hope you all beautiful mommas out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I love it that I got to do a maternity session on the weekend… ’twas a great way to start off mother’s day weekend!
I loved being pregnant and I remember how I felt beautiful and sexy, constantly in awe that two tiny babies were growing inside of me. It was all so amazing, such a miraculous experience. This is why I am so grateful to be chosen to document such a fleeting time in a new parent’s life. Being able to capture, through my lens and heart, the joy (and beauty and power) of carrying a child, of becoming a parent. This aura of serenity and this glow that only pregnant women possess. I love the inherent intimacy, beauty and significance of maternity photography. But I especially love to artistically capture the sexiness of pregnancy. Yes, motherliness and sensuality are connected. I love the lines and curves that are accentuated on prenatal portraits and I love it when my clients embrace the sensuality of their pregnant figures. Like this stunning mom-to-be.
This beautiful expectant parents were a pleasure to photograph, she was open to try new things and he was… well… in love with his girls. *They* are very very much in love. They are a very romantic couple, so I also wanted to give a touch of romance to this session… hope you love the images as much as I do!
There are so many fantastic images from this session, I will definitely be back with more. So stay tuned for “part II”!
Thank you H’s parents (!) for the fun afternoon! I cannot wait to meet your baby girl in a couple of weeks!
