Happy Mother’s Day to Lisa!  What a trooper bringing her 5 children out to their home on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland for portraits of her one-week-old son.

It’s only been 3 months since my son was that size but I already forgot how tiny they are.  He was so cute but didn’t want to sleep — I guess all the cameras and lights were way too interesting!  I’m sure he conked out the minute I left.

One of my favorite photographs is where he is in the bowl and flashes the peace sign.  :-)

Jack was born not too long ago long and skinny.  The skinny is no more!  He has chunked out like a little man.

Jack just turned 3 weeks (that flew by).  He is doing really well — a really chill little boy.  Thought I would post his first portrait shoot.  He did really well for it.  Having a space heater blasting on high didn’t hurt to keep things comfy!

We were happy to meet so many fun brides on Sunday at the Bethesda Bridal Show.  The next day our newest “hire” Jack came into our family.

Connor Studios will be working out of our hospital office until Thursday morning when we all get to go back home.  Jack was 7lbs. 8oz. and just shy of 21 inches long. Grace has been so cute with him but I still think that she doesn’t have a clue that he is coming home!

We couldn’t be happier.  Nicole and Jack are very happy and healthy.

So, now you know Jack.

Just over 20 months ago, our “family” was changed and made better by the presence of our daughter Grace.  On Monday, our family is going to be made whole by the birth of our son (in heated negotiations and a mean game of rock/paper/scissors – best 200 out of 300 at this point – about name!!!).

This was a photograph of Grace on the first day she came into our lives.  (no, that’s not a wig!)  I remember that day and I have to say that I can’t wait to see how beautiful our son will be.

Stay tuned…

Audrey was just short of 2 weeks old when I got the chance to photograph her at her home. Two weeks before, Audrey’s parents were supposed to come over for brunch. We got a call from Jeremy and Keri two hours before brunch that they were heading to the hospital.

Of course, I thought they just didn’t want to eat my pancakes (which were GREAT by the way!!!) but along came Audrey.  Actually Audrey came 30 minutes before blueberry pancake time so we definitely could have made more.  :-)  

I love this first shot of her with her tongue out.  It reminds me of a photograph of my daughter at that age.  Plus, look at those guns!

Being a HUGE fan of The Big Lebowski, I had to photograph Audrey with Jeremy’s shirt.  Now I just need to find one of those shirts for myself!
