It was a beautiful day in Princeton.
Then again, with all that beautiful architecture, when is it NOT a beautiful day in Princeton.
I worked at Princeton many years ago. I LOVE being back on campus.
I think it’s especially nice there in early spring and early fall…
…except for the soft garden breezes that make me sneeze!
I could hang out in the Nassau Hall area for a week and not run out of interesting things to look at.
I love how Sharon and Mike decorated the baby’s room.
Best wishes, Sharon and Mike! It was so much fun hanging out with you at one of my all-time favorite places!
Put me on the call-list so I know when the baby comes!
Peace,

I was walking around Princeton University this morning with Sharon and Mike. I stopped in my tracks when I came across a row of stunning tulips.
They were so shiny in the morning sun that I just HAD to get out my macro lens and take a few shots!
I don’t usually post same-day pictures (because I’m in the midddle of editing Alisa and Jason’s e-session!) but since I was in Sharon and Mike’s folder anyway, I figured I’d post a few for Sharon and Mike’s family back home. I LOVE the one above!
Sharon is a grad student at Princeton so these shots will be a nice keepsake for them and for their new baby someday.
Thanks for taking me to the Princeton gardens! Coming soon: more pictures from Sharon and Mike’s maternity session.
Peace, and have a great day!

This is Peanut.
She lives in an apartment building in Manhattan. I always wondered what it would be like to be a small child growing up in Manhattan. Sure she has access to many a playground — there’s one at ground level at their building, and a big one with lots of great equipment right across the street. But Peanut loves to play in the hallway! I LOVE this picture!
This is in the playground across the street. It was really cold that day and Peanut couldn’t seem to decide what she wanted to do. I love this picture for the emotional uncertainty on Peanut’s face, and the watchful, yet patient eyes of her parents behind her.
I love that picture in black and white too and couldn’t decide which I liked better. I LOVE her red coat, so I had to present it both ways. The black and white would look awesome as part of a wall display on a richly colored wall. But the color one would look great on a white wall. Which one do you like better?
Isn’t she adorable? So sweet too.
Hanging with dad on the roof. (Literally.)
This is almost all of Peanut’s family…
…Peanut’s new little baby brother- or sister-to-be is lovingly called “Sushi.”
Peanut is the little girl’s nickname. “Peanut” was what they called her before she was born.
I love this picture! It really shows off mom’s true figure!
I love this one too! So much great light in their apartment! I think it’s so cool when moms-to-be document their pregnancy with beautiful photographs!
I love this one of mom and dad’s hands around the baby. Beautiful light and shadows, and I love the rings too.
Peanut loved playing with mom and dad on a fun Sunday in New York!
She has such gorgeous eyes!
Can’t wait to meet you, Sushi!
Their slide show is private, but if you’d like to see — it’s SO fun — just email the family for the link!
Peace,

Oooh, one more! Isn’t this the coolest “mamarazzi” picture? LOVE IT!

When I shot Donna’s maternity images, I told her that I am a little backed up in the editing department (I’m a one-woman show here). She pleaded with me to put up some pictures as a preview for her. (Never say no to a pregnant woman.) So, here you go Donna, as promised.
Isn’t she gorgeous? Oh wow.
This is Dylan.
Hi Dylan!
They’re so cute together.
What a beautiful home they have. Victorian, my favorite style, and decorated beautifully! I’m talking home decorating magazine stuff here. Donna, when I get set to turn my living room into a studio, I’m calling you to decorate it for me!
I did this session with almost all natural light — or rather, available light, since there were some lamps turned on — I love the results. Donna, you are beautiful! Call me when the baby is born! I can’t wait to meet…
Oh wait! Here’s a great contest idea, or rather, a sort of pool. The first person to post a comment correctly predicting the baby’s birthdate will win a $10 Amazon gift certificate delivered via e-mail.
I’ll give you a hint: She’s due in three weeks.
You have to post your comment before the baby comes! Anybody’s eligible — you too, Donna!
Good luck!
