The newest love of my life | Allentown newborn photographer

My nephew Alex is now a big brother, and little Wes is just as amazingly adorable. I was pretty sure my camera was going to be melted by their cuteness when they were both in the frame. I am so excited that I will be able to see them more when I move back to the Lehigh Valley in a couple weeks.

Wes has the same intense eyes that Alex does.

Don't be fooled by Wes's closed eyes, these two are definitely already plotting trouble.

What better way to enjoy this must-appreciated taste of spring weather than to head outside with my favorite one-year-old? I can't believe how quickly a year went by, but yes, my littlest nephew is one! As usual I couldn't choose a favorite, so enjoy the long post. :)

I know this isn't the greatest photo, but I just love it. I don't know if it's the hat, the green monkey shirt or the way Alex was carrying that stick around and checking everything it out, but to me it just sums up "little boy."

This one is for Uncle Vince...

I have no self control...

Saturday we took Alex out to Cedar Beach in Allentown for his six month photos. We got the perfect glowy light, and even though it was pretty toasty outside, Alex stayed in good spirits for most of the shoot. Just when we thought he was about done, his daddy showed up and he just couldn't stop smiling and jabbering away. He's just so freaking adorable that even at the risk of boring you I just couldn't narrow down these photos any more.

What's better than a bucket hat on a baby?

Ok, a monkey might be cuter.

These next few are special requests from Alex's dad...

His beautiful mom...I guess it's easy to see why he's so good looking.

Beautiful glowy light...it was so worth chancing the cranky baby.

This is when Daddy arrived at the shoot...notice the huge smile.

We decided to end the shoot by popping him in the water. We weren't sure how he'd react, but I'm so glad we went for it because these are my favorite shots. He looks like a little Buddha...

The blue, the green, the adorable kid, I just couldn't resist. I told you, no self control.

And of course, there are the obligatory Alex photos. He was not so happy about sharing the spotlight in this shoot, so I have a lot of shots like this:

But I was able to get at least one where the boys were looking in the same direction.


I couldn't pass up this awesome sunset. Luckily Alex's mother was happy to oblige :)

Here's some fun shots from last weekend's family camping trip. It was my first time actually camping. It's a little different from my father's definition of camping when we were little. He used to let us set up sleeping bags in his home office and we each got to pick out a candy and movie and stay up really late, like 11 p.m. This time there was actually a tent and some trees. It was pretty fun. Ben and I were only there for one full day, but we packed a lot into it. My youngest brother and I took a nice long hike in the morning, later in the afternoon we went kayaking and of course there were plenty of campfire meals.

Here's Vince all ready to head our on our hike. After experiencing Bonnaroo last month, he's a camping pro.

Here's a few pretty shots from our hike.

And of course the requisite Alex photos... ( I am powerless against his cuteness)
