Oh sweet baby Mani. Have I mentioned newborns?! And right now as my daughter is now 3 1/2 I really love them espeically when they are other peoples’ babies. Ha! I want another child but man those sleepless nights for months and years. Oh but wait. Isn’t he so so cute? And he smells so yummy, too. It’s like a magnet for me. I just want to hold and squeeze them all! Lucky for me I have two newborn shoots coming up in the next week and a half. Yeah! You can see Mani in his beautiful Momma’s belly here.

Such a proud Daddy.

Oh, that little smirk! I could eat him up.

Oh, please. No pictures now. Nice try cute little man.

 Love.

Kisses from your furry brother.

Hello, Mani.

Love this everyday moment.

And this everyday moment is so angelic.

I love the new parent smiles here.

Daddy has magical sleepy baby powers.

Love.

All those Moms out there. Remember the itty bitty stage where they just laid on your chest all day long and you never wanted to move?! yes, this is that moment forever captured. Love love love.

Much love,

Robin

Oh, sweet baby Gabriel. That newborn smell. That newborn sleepiness. The cuddles. Yes, I do love it all.

how funny is that expression?

Mother/baby bonding time. Something I know Monica will cherish forever.

I previewed this image on my Facebook page. It really encompasses the everyday happenings and to me is the most cherished memories. Sure, anyone can create an idealistic image of a baby sleeping. But this is real life.

Big brother Michael don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about you.

We didn’t forget about you either puppy.

Grandma snuggles.

Cross my heart

Meet Monica, Dean, Michael & Gabriel (in the belly). It’s been a while since I photographed this family. Michael was just a newborn. Now, he is a big 3 1/2 year old. We do see him regularly; typically at the grocery store on Sundays. lol  We both obviously live by ritual. I was ecstatic when I saw Monica at the grocery store with a baby belly! Here’s Gabriel still in the belly and stay tuned for his newborn pictures coming up in just a few days!

I love this photo…Monica is so happy and it’s everyday happenings. Sometimes the best picture is the completely unscripted, spontaneous photo. And that is what this is.

And this one is how you get Daddy’s who don’t like pictures to smile and have fun. Oh and that sunset was amazing.

Thank you for your friendship Monica. Mwah!

Much love,

Robin

It was FREEZING the day I met up with Valerie and Neil at Antietam but you cannot even tell. Congratulations on you two! I hope to meet the little one soon.

Oh this family! Where do I start?! I’ve been photographing you for 4 years?! Yes?! Wowzers. I am so lucky to call you a friend, Amy. One of the things I love the most about photographing people is making friends. The kind of friend that is for life. Love you sweet friend.

It’s been about a year and a half since I last photographed these beautiful families. We have so much fun every time and I love seeing the children grow.

These two…these two…so much fun!

Gah…Morgan…there are no words.
