Welcome Cheryl Beplay!

Congratulations Amanda and Dale on bringing your beautiful new baby girl Cheryl into the world! I swung by the house after Amanda left the hospital so I could take a couple photos during that priceless first week. There’s nothing like a newborn baby, there’s something magical about those first few days.
Cheryl was a champ during the whole shoot considering I showed up around dinner time and she was hungry! Even though I woke her up she gave me some encouraging smiles. It’s always amazing how much character a newborn baby can have and Cheryl was no exception. She grabbed right onto fingers, gave little squeals and made us all swoon with those baby blues. She’s turning heads and she’s only 3 days old… Dad’s comment? “I’m going to have my hands full when she turns fifteen”



Sneak Peek!

I have to pace you, because if I gave you all the adorableness at one time you who knows what would happen.



Ally and Dominick

These are my little cousins Ally and Dominick around this time last year. I went down to North Carolina with my Aunt to visit them for their first Halloween (with trick-or-treating). We had such a blast. Unfortunately there aren’t any pictures of Ally in her costume because when it came time she refused to put it on. :) We still did the trick or treating because she finally realized that if she went then she got candy! Here are some pictures that I took the afternoon before Halloween.

I’m dutifully going through all of my pictures and posting them here on the blog so you can expect more pictures to come.



From Isabelly- To Isabelle

These are pictures taken a mere 2 months apart. The first three were taken about 3 days before Isabelle was born and two months later I came by to find a wide eyed active little baby girl!
These posts are clearly belated since I only recently posted Erin and Nicks wedding which was over a year ago, and Isabelle is already about to start walking. Time flies so fast!

Isabelle is such a smiley girl, just like her mom. The two of them are a joy to photograph because they’re so much fun to be around. Since these pictures were taken, the whole Estes family has moved up to New York. Hopefully I’ll get up there soon or at the rate time is going the next you’ll see of Isabelle on this site SHE’LL be getting married!



Abby – 6 days old

Say hi to Abby the newest addition to the Valluzzo family! This makes the happy grandparents 4 and 0, grandaughters to grandsons. Abby was only 6 days old and full of joy when I stopped by, and when she wasn’t sleeping she was smiling from ear to ear which made for a wonderful shoot. Thanks Abby!
