Max is the most adorable baby boy ever!

I visited new parents Esther, Micah, and Max back in January for a mini two-month baby shoot with little Max. Let me tell you, this little bugger LOVED the camera. He smiled, drooled, and cooed his way into my heart. I can’t wait to watch him grow up.

Here are some of my favs from Max’s session.

Max could not stop smiling for the camera. What a cute little ham! I love this kiddo.

Esther looked FANTASTIC for just having given birth to Max! If I look as good as her after kids, I’ll be a happy camper.

There’s something so attractive about daddies with their babies. I love how tenderly Micah is holding onto little Max.

I’ve been surrounded by babies lately! Coincidence? Or is someone trying to tell me something?

Here’s a teaser from Sunday’s mini-session that involved five-month old baby Ronin, a cutie-patootie who was an angel for the camera. Funny moment of the day: Ronin got hungry midway through his shoot, and as I was holding him, he turned toward me and made a beeline towards my chest. I believe he was looking for his dinner. Hehe.

More to come soon!

On Saturday, I had the honor of attending cute pie Kaelyn’s baby party. Kaelyn is incredibly lucky to have such loving and talented parents. Vir did such an amazing job with the candy buffet/dessert spread! I wish I had seen this inspiration while planning my own wedding. Amy Atlas would be so proud.

I LOVE the pennant banner that Vir made for Kaelyn’s name.

Check out the cute little bees buzzing around a gorgeous flower-topped cake! The details truly make this spread.

Yellow whirly pops. Even the name is adorable.

And the best part? Vir secretly told me all of the goods were store bought and many of the platters were borrowed. Wow! Presentation really makes a HUGE impact.

Below are a few more pictures from the party… I wish I took more photos but I was having so much fun talking to all the guests. I came by myself, a little self-conscious about not knowing anyone, but Jess & Vir’s family and friends were so sweet, I had nothing to worry about.

Vir and Jess displayed some of the photos from Kaelyn’s baby session. I especially love how the gatorfoam print turned out.  These are a great, inexpensive alternative to canvas wraps. I really like the clean black border around the foam core.

Last but not least, the sunny party invitation designed by Vir. I’m not exaggerating when I say that she is the best graphic designer that I know. I wish she would start a stationery line because I’d be her best customer.

If I ever host a party and I coincidentally happen to do the EXACT SAME dessert buffet spread, you can just pretend you never saw it on my blog.

Darling baby Kaelyn was born two months ago into the loving home of Virginia and Jess. They are two of the most genuinely sweet people I’ve had the pleasure to know. It’s no surprise baby Kaelyn has an equally sweet temperment.

Kaelyn has the cutest baby nursery ever, and you’d never guess it was decorated on a budget. Vir and Jess painted it the color of warm sunshine, accented with touches of fresh sea spray.

Vir ordered a precious tutu from Etsy especially for the photo session. How unbearably cute does Kaelyn look wearing it? Be still, my aching ovaries.

I loved watching Vir’s gentle nature with Kaelyn. She changed her several times throughout the session, each time comforting baby Kaelyn with her sweet voice.

Kaelyn is going to be the best dressed baby in history. I especially loved her yellow and white polka-dotted swimsuit. Why are baby clothes so much cuter than adult clothes?

Darling little Kaelyn isn’t much bigger than her beloved plushy Bear-Bear.

Jess and Vir obviously love baby Kaelyn with everything they have. It was such a privilege to document their family for an afternoon. And if I didn’t tell you that they made me want a baby of my own, I’d be lying.

Curled little baby fists: quite possibly the cutest things on the planet.

Last but not least, one picture of Jess & Vir’s firstborn: Wicket the Ewok Maltese-Yorkie.

To Vir & Jess: Thanks for letting us be a part of your family for an afternoon! We love baby Kaelyn and we can’t wait to watch her grow up.
