I am a lucky girl, I have been blessed with some of the best friends one could ever hope for – and Lisa is right up at the top of the list! In the 5 years since we met, we have gotten so close. Lisa is an amazing photographer and a constant source of inspiration, but she is an even better friend, late-night gossiper, workshop partner-in-crime and cheerleader. I am so thrilled that she finally has her long-awaited baby girl…
Lisa lives about 3 1/2 hours from me, so five days after baby *b* was born I travelled up there with another fantastic photographer, Raye Law from Arkansas (yes, she flew out here just to take photos of Lisa’s babe!) Raye and I hadn’t met before I picked her up at the airport, but by the time we made it to Lisa’s house we felt like old buddies. (I was worried that she’d think I was a nut when I had to stop and rescue a stray dog along the way – but she was a good sport and we had a vacation dog* for a day until I found his owners the next day!)
Without further ado…. this used to me *my* room when I would visit :) at least there is still a bed for me!
her first bath…
…and now she is ready for her close up…
Working with Lisa and Raye (both INCREDIBLE newborn photographers, they should be called the baby whisperers!) was not only fun but educational – they take the time to ensure that each detail is pure perfection! I wish I could take the credit for these next few photos, but they did all the work setting up the shots, all I had to do was press the shutter – wish they could come with me to all my sessions!
there are so many photogenic nooks and crannies in Lisa’s little town….
Isn’t she beautiful?? Inside and out :)
Lisa, I am so happy that you have your baby girl – she is the luckiest little babe around to have you as her mommy…
Just a quick snap from my car window to show how lovely it is in San Luis Obispo – I love it!
