this too cute matching shirt for daddy & baby happens to be on sale at a pea in the pod! i love sales as much as taking daddy baby photos!  This is another great item from Diaper Dude – If your new daddy or daddy-to-be cringes at  flowery diaper bags, you should check out the manly Diaper Dude bags.  Nothing completes the picture of a combat-ready father like a camo diaper bag!

I enjoy the whole baby and daddy interchange when working with newborns.  In my family newborn portrait sessions, I find the most playful newborn photos come when the dad’s in the picture.  Dads also seem to be the ones who end up buying the matching clothes!  In a recent session, dad made sure baby started out supporting the right team – both came out in Red Sox garb.

Moments

by Sandy

This is one of those moments that may never happen again, these two brothers will forever hold a special place in my heart in large part because of this photo. Not only is it precious, but a “moment” later Baby G decided it was time to eat. Needless to say, Mom & I laughed so hard, and big brother thought it was funny that Baby G was on his “chi-chi”. Moments, that is what life is made of ~

Thought it was worth sharing…

A couple of pencil-outlined birds escape from a little girl´s drawing, leading us through the life she dreams of.  You can find more about the making of at this link: http://www.carloslascano.com/carloslascano/vid_ashortlovestory.html

Bodyscapes

This has to be one of my favorite images of this session; and, it was for Mrs C as well — it is a large 16×24 matted print proudly displayed in her home.  A work of art and no one even has to know it is her.   I knew it was going to be incredible as soon as I took it; showing the incredible curves and beauty that all women have.

Can you believe that this stomach belongs to that of a women who is almost 50??

beautiful sexy cowgirl

I don’t think I even looked like that in high school, much less in 10+ years and expect to look this good (sorry hubby).  This cowgirl wanted to give a special gift to herself and her husband before she reached her 50th birthday.  Needless to say, all of the hard work she does at home and on the ranch shows!  Mrs C, you are quite the beauty.  Thanks for trusting me with these incredible images.
