Meet baby Cataline. She was 11 days old at the time of the session. She was my best model ever. She slept all session. Her sister Valentina (2 years old) helped me a lot too. Those two girls really had stolen my heart.
Elena expecting her baby girl Victoria. I met Elena few years ago. And I was so happy for her when I knew she expected her first baby. We planed to do few session during her pregnancy. But we had only one but the best one. She had her baby Victoria very earlier and she even missed her baby shower. But what a gorgeous mom-to-be she was!
I was born in Russia and I love all about my native country. So I decided to introduce traditional Russian Matreshka doll to my friends and clients. My son helped me as a model. He is 6 moths old on this pictures.
I am so lucky I had chance to photograph stunning Hona at the most beautiful period of the year - cherry blossoming. After a month I met her precious baby boy Eli and did newborn session for him.
Meet baby David. He was 14 days old at the time of the session. This is his second photo session. First time I met him when he was at mom's belly.
Baby Ariana was 8 days old at the time of the session and she was the best model for me. She slept perfectly all session. I did maternity session for her mom and we decided to use same color for her newborn session.
Look how much love in this photo! These two love each other so much. Baby Chandler was born earlier at 37 weeks. She was so tiny at the age of 8 days old when we had her session. But so smiley baby. She smiled all session long. And it is already obvious that she'll be as beautiful as her mom Alyssa.
This luxury flower stroller is on the way for a long future life. The baby is already dreaming about her future journey. We are sure this car will be converted in the future into electrical Tesla and she will be driving that car. The angels send the flowers to make the journey long and happy and the colors of the flowers will definitely represent the blue wide sky. Let's joint that baby to dream.
I did maternity session for baby's mom - Dana a month before her birth. Yellow is her favorite color. SO we use yellow colors as well for baby Jaya Lillian's session.

This is Lowie. two weeks old. he did it great!<br /> His mom and dad are very proud to win an award with there son.<br /> He is such a lovely little boy.<br />
Isn't he sweet? <br /> Babyboy Finn did it very well to in the studio.<br /> He was very sleepy and easy to make all the pictures.<br /> It's a lovely boy
Kleine Phill kon niet wachten tot hij echt de schoolbanken in zou gaan.<br /> Zalig om te zien hoe sommige kleintjes zich laten leggen voor de foto.<br /> Hij was werkelijk helemaal vertrokken, en sliep heerlijk door en trok zich nergens iets van aan.
Kleine Lia wordt op handjes gedragen door haar 2 grote zussen.<br /> Zalig om te zien hoe lief ze voor haar zijn.<br /> Tijdens de shoot ging het super en sliep zalig door.

Mom and dad requested a photo of baby and their precious first "baby" who is getting older. I love that the dog sat perfectly next to the carriage so I can capture this for the parents.
Daddy is a volunteer fireman and mom wanted this set up of baby to honor his daddy and what he does for the community. This is a great memory for years to come.
This photo was taken of my two boys one night and it goes perfect with what I tell them all the time "Dream BIG....the sky is the limit".
How perfect is this duo?! Big brother was very eager and excited to participate in taking photos with his baby brother <3 Having two boys myself I adore this picture and I hope one day so will these two.
This little guy's mom and dad were really into sports so it was only fitting we would use a sports backdrop for a few of the photos. Future slugger?

Cake smash session for baby Elina, 1-year-old. She was a bit scared and touch the cake but finally, she made it. That was her first bite! She learned to eat the cake!
Baby Kali came to her first cake smash session about a month ago. She loved all her session decorations and the cake! She also had a fun bubble bath right after the smash!
Baby William was 9 days old at his newborn session. He slept like a dream almost the whole time and didn't mind this cozy setup at all!
Baby Myra came to her newborn session with her mom and dad when she was only 5 days new. She didn't want to sleep in the beginning but this soft wrap helped a lot to settle her down and relax.
Baby Thea visits the studio every 3 months for her milestone session. It is amazing to watch her grow. She is so curious and adorable little girl!
Baby Ashlyn was 6 months old at her milestone session. She came to the studio with her mom and dad and was an absolute pleasure to work with!
So fun to watch Baby Thea grow! She is visiting my studio pretty often and that was her third session after I met her as a newborn baby! She is a pretty fast crawler, very curious and adorable little girl!

This little angel is truly a miracle. Josh was born premature and had to spend some time in the NICU. He is now perfect and healthy and wanted to smile for me.

And to think that i was considering whether i should take this photo session cause beautiful baby Lia was one month new :) I was a bit doubtful since it was the first time i photographed a baby at this age, but she was just amazing 3>
We really wanted to do something different for baby Or. His parents saw this vintage TV at the studio which i've never used before for a newborn session but they liked it so much & I thought it could be really cool & i like to improvise, so glad I did :)
Sweet Baby Jude was born around Christmas time so I picked some pine cones for the photoshoot :) <br /> His smile was a big bonus
This is one of my favorite maternaty photos , one of my first professional maternity photosessions actually.<br /> I loved the beautiful natural light at the forest, at sunset time...
Danel is the sweetest baby with the coolest parents :) He was just 6 days new on the day of the photo session, one of my faves this year :)
Sophie is just gorgeous and sweet, she is actually one of my girl's best friends :) i love photographing her! This pic started my christmas sessions :)
