I have been having the time of my life watching my friends turn into beautiful and amazing parents in the last several months! It has been an even more rewarding experience getting to photograph them together with their adorable babies. I know it’s a change for this site but photographing babies is not new to me. In fact, I used to photograph newborn babies at the Bryn Mawr Hospital, even prompted the company I worked for to stop taking those typical bassinet poses. Oh it sounds like I haven’t forgotten my sales pitch!

Anyway, I’d like to introduce the incredibly handsome, Jacob Elliot. I traveled down to their beach house and we had a great time exploring all the rooms and hanging out with the fam! Jacob was really engaging with the camera and sported the biggest, most playful smiles I’ve seen on a little guy! He shined whenever he cuddled with mom and dad. Oh and his first time on the beach…well you’ll have to check out the photos below to see how much he loved that shore breeze! Here are a few of my favorites from our session:

Here are a few gems from Jacob’s first time on the beach! He looks so relaxed and almost zen-like! It was so hot though so we weren’t out for very long…just got our feet wet!

I think this is just the beginning of Jacob’s trips to see the ocean. He seemed to fall in love right before our eyes!

Thanks for taking the time to look! If you have an extra minute I would love for your support in helping me become Philly’s BEST Pet Photographer for 2012!
