i am continuously humbled by the wonderful families i meet through the pictures of hope foundation.  the robertson family was no exception…so gracious, sweet and loving.  at 22 weeks of pregnancy, melia’s mommy found out that her membranes had ruptured and she had placental abruption. after a month of bed rest, Melia Joy was born at 26 and a half weeks gestation, weighing in at exactly 2 pounds. the timing of her entry into the world was perfect-the doctors told her family that she would not have survived more than one hour longer inside of her mom. sweet baby melia truly is a miracle…she is perfect in every way and will be blessed forever by all of the people who love her.  god bless you sweet baby girl…you keep growing bigger and stronger so you can go home to your adorable brother and sister.:)  thank you amanda and eric for allowing me to photograph your family.

hugs and kisses to your whole family, ben…you are precious, precious, precious.  i could eat you up morning, noon and night.:)  thank you for coming to visit me…i loved seeing you all.

oh my….you will see, beautiful, beautiful sweet ones.  i attended the Baby As Art newborn workshop this past week-end in san diego. it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g.  if you have not heard of baby as art, you must take a moment to go peek at their stunning baby photography.  http://babyasart.com/ carrie and brittany were such wonderful mentors…so sweet, and approachable.  and, so humble with their talent.  i am in constant awe of what they do…God given talent.  they recently photographed PINK and her new baby girl…awesome.  we played and practiced and learned SO much and i met a great group of photographers from around the world that i know i will remain in contact with for years to come.  below are a few of my favorites…

i am so so very excited to show you my new natural light studio…i have searched and searched for the perfect little spot…i am in love with it!   it is a wonderful little space with the most beautiful natural light.  and, it is convenient and safe for my clients.  i will still be photographing mainly on-location, but i have been searching for the perfect space to photograph newborns and babies…it will also be perfect in the winter months when we cannot be outside. i am sharing the studio with one other photographer and will be in the studio a few days a week.

i hope to have many more fun events in the future…concept shoots which will be mini sessions.  for example, a valentine’s day session or Christmas themed session.  these sessions will be shorter in length, but provide my clients with a fun experience that is different than a normal photography session.  watch my facebook page and this blog for details!

i hope to see you there soon!  xoxo eydie
