Baby Owen!

A few years ago we photographed the amazing wedding of Erin & Pete out in the Hamptons!  It was a freezing day and still they braved a portrait session out on the dunes.  The result was one of my favorite bride and groom images, so I was thrilled at the opportunity to see what I could do with their new addition! Meet Owen!!

I loved that Erin asked me to arrive while Owen was still sleeping so I could capture how angelic he looks. I was so pleased that she was interested in this type of imagery, for this is what I really love to do. Honestly, I think it is images like this that Moms really love. They are real moments that you want to remember forever.

When Owen woke up he loving touched his Mom’s face…such a tender moment that was amazing for me to witness.

This sweet boy and his HUGE eyes will get him into and out of a lot of trouble!

Little baby feet!

If you follow my work you know I love to get everyone to jump into bed and cozy up!  I just love the casualness of it all.

I asked Erin if there were any moments she hoped to be captured before we started shooting.  She told me about how Owen likes to grab his Dad’s face- thanks Owen, you made it happen!

Owen was so amazing to photograph, from his sweet face, big eyes, little toes and hands and of course those chubby thighs!

This pictures really makes me feel all emotional inside!  I think its the hand on his Mom’s shoulder, gently holding on while looking out the window.  Its such a quiet moment between him and his Mom.  So much trust and tenderness.

This was Owen’s first time having his toes in the sand!

There’s that trust again.

The look back!  Pete swept Owen away to prepare him for going home as Erin and I swapped Mom stories. Honestly, Owen is so cute- like the kind of cute that you just want to squeeze him really hard!

Erin, Pete and Owen- you three make quite a team!  It was great to be able to document this incredible time in your lives! Thank you!
