Meet Meredith….She is the most adorable, most LOVED, most WANTED baby I’ve met in quite awhile :)
We held this session at the beautiful W Hotel in Westwood. It was a gorgeous setting for an incredible new family. Christine and Marc travelled all the way from Germany to China to adopt their precious new baby girl, from China to Los Angeles to complete legal paperwork, then back to Germany the morning after our shoot. You would THINK that they would be exhausted, but the whole family just GLOWED with love. I confess I can be a little bit of a sap, but I got all teary when I first walked into the room. I’ve been excited about this session for awhile, you could just tell what a special bond these three have found. (Many thanks to my friend and fabulous photographer Angela Calderon for the referral!)
You know how some people are just *your people*??? That’s immediatly how I felt about Christine and Marc; if they lived just a teeny bit closer I’d want them to be my new best friends :) New mommy Christine is an incredible author, if you have little ones you should consider purchasing her book The Ultimate Volunteer Guidebook for Young People. Not to be outdone, new daddy Marc is an accomplished author himself, he has a bunch :) but I’ll just link to two MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, An Interactive Guide to the World of Sports (Sports by the Numbers) because I’m a HUGE baseball fan and University of Oklahoma Football, An Interactive Guide to the World os Sports (Sports by the Numbers) ’cause I grew up in Norman, Oklahoma :)
Alright, I’m blabbing on - and I know what you really want is to see photos, right???? Okay - here is a sneak peek (I’m still proofing , I can’t stop, there are too many cute photos!!)

Meredith is beautiful. We can’t wait to hug and kiss her. Well, I can’t wait, Papa already has! How lucky we are to have Meredith as a granddaughter. Love Nana and Papa
What great family photos. I am so glad that the family is back in Germany and I can finally met them. We are truly blessed to have this great family that brings the world Fun, Love and Happiness.
Great photographs. We can not wait until we get to see her in person. What a great smile.
OMG!!! she is so precious! They make such a cute family!!! Congrats Christine and Marc on your new baby! Good luck with everything :)
She’s absolutely beautiful! My guess is her feet won’t even touch the ground this June because everyone will be holding her. These pics reflect that the three of you are mutually blessed. Meredith because she’s got a great set of parents and Marc & Christine because they have a wonderful baby girl! See you in June (Max says, “She’s CUTE!”)
Marc and Christine, my family and I, would like to congratulate you for your new baby. She is beautiful and you all look wonderful in these pictures. You are a marvelous family now and I hope God guides you in growing Meredith up to ba a genereous, caring and wonderful person as you both are.
Christine, Marc and Meredith…. What a beautiful family!!! We are so happy for you. You have never looked happier! Enjoy!!
That is it! It is time to tell Germany good bye and Texas hello. Her Aunt,Uncle and Cousins want you guys near. Aunt Kristi needs to kiss those chubby cheeks on a regular basis!!!!
