Kiera at 4-months

Meet baby Kiera (4 months)  – such a sweet disposition!  Even with multiple feedings and diaper changes during the shoot, Kiera was content as can be, and it was so sweet to see mom Yolanda and dad Caleb cooing over her.  Caleb is a rescue swimmer for the Coast Guard and he brought along his uniform for the shoot, along with stories of sharks, helicopters, and natural disasters!  Besides it all just being so cool, it made me think of how thankful I am for all the men and women who serve our country.  Well, he sure has a couple of beautiful ladies in his life and I am so glad they came into the studio! Kiera is going to be a little heartbreaker!

Ruby at 3-months

At 3-months, Ruby might be one of the cutest babies ever.  Mom Vicky and dad Grady crossed the Hudson from their home in downtown Manhattan to have Ruby’s pics done at the studio and I’m so glad that they did!  I’m not sure what I love more, that Ruby was born at nearly 10 pounds with that full of head hair or that Vicky has such a badass dragon tattoo and gave Ruby the middle name ‘LongGe’ which is Chinese for “dragon”.

Thank you Grady and Vicky for having me shoot Ruby’s 3-month pics!  Ruby is going to be a little heartbreaker! <3

Sophie

We’ve known Carrie and Tim since we first moved to the East Coast years ago so I was really excited to take family portraits for them at their picture perfect home in Park Ridge, NJ. (I’m not going to lie, I also love going over for Carrie’s amazing meals!) At 20-months, their daughter Sophie looks like she came straight from the doll factory…those ringlets of hair, blue eyes, long eyelashes and porcelain cheeks! Their sweet and rambunctious golden lab Gracie jumped in on the family pictures too. 🙂

Sophie is such a cherub, I couldn’t help but create this heirloom style set of photos to capture her sweetness.

Thank you Kennedy family for such a fun photo shoot  – and the amazing bbq-grilled pizzas! 🙂  xo, ing

The Shih Family

It had been way too long since we had seen my family and we finally got a chance last week for my cousin’s wedding in California.  Afterward, my boys got to spend a ton of time with their cousins, Amanda (7), Jalen (5) and Abby (3) running around on the beaches of Laguna and San Diego – do they know how good they have it?? Geesh.  Anyway, I was so excited to do pics of the whole Shih family including mom Yvonne and dad Wes.

Love you guys!  xo ing
