so I’ll be honest. I was totally overwhelmed with where to start in blogging my client sessions…. so I chose this one. a very favorite from 2012. and you may have seen this first image since it’s on the homepage of my site…the emotion + connection to her baby just gets to me. this would be the gorgeous (wow. really…to look like that after giving birth!??) Jennifer Cusimano. a BRILLIANT newborn photographer based in Houston. talk about pressure!! Jenn and I became friends awhile ago. we had some mutual connections + ya know, the whole photography thing…then we finally got to meet in person at a Pinkle Toes Workshop out in Austin. oh my goodness what a blast…not to mention the incredible learning experience, but so awesome is the fact that we stayed up late talking about everything imaginable + we became friends for life, along with some other special ladies. I’m so fortunate to have her friendship and it’s been amazing to watch Jenn become a mommy for the second time around. she calls Miss Lila her ‘miracle baby’ and I absolutely loved spending the day with them last September. it felt so comfortable and natural to hang out with their family. there are more images than a ‘typical’ newborn session because I did spend a lot of time in their lovely home + Jenn’s outrageous studio. I couldn’t get enough of that space. there were WAY too many favorites and this is narrowed down a lot!! enjoy the beauty that is Jenn’s family! oh and my shoes even make an appearance…big sis Kinley was really liking them!
