Yesterday we had an awesome opportunity to photograph models for our friends who are up-and-coming designers. Here’s a tiny sneak preview.

Come back tomorrow to see many more exciting photos and the story behind the shoot!

Sam is an adorable 3 months old baby boy whom we had a pleasure of photographing last Sunday. He was in a great mood and, according to his parents, unusually well behaved. Being a perfect model throughtout the session, Sam only started to get tired and cranky towards the end.

Loved his gorgeous blue eyes!

A little fig leaf for privacy :)

We had a blast taking these photos and thank you for inviting us over!

When I met Dasha she was 1.5 months old and I left on her 2 months anniversary. My mom had been dutifully sending me lots of Dasha’s pictures since her birth, and I was pretty sure that I knew how she looked from almost every possible angle.

I was so wrong! When I first saw her sleeping in the crib she was soo tiny, so much smaller that I could’ve ever imagined her to be! I was seriously afraid to hold her the first couple of days, but when my fear disappeared I just couldn’t let her go. Dasha looks so much like my sister when she was a baby that I was constantly referring to her by my sister’s name “Ira”.
It’s really interesting how this new addition to the family, this tiny human changes everything in the life of a family. It’s still weird to me that my still-very-young parents are suddenly called “grandparents” and my little sister, who still sleeps with stuffed toys of her, has now become a mother.

I could really notice the baby’s growth during my time in Russia: she gained weight, started to smile and also to “talk” much more. In fact, I already see a much more grown up baby in the most recent photos my mom sent to me since I came back. The changes at that age are happening so incredibly quick! Although parents usually want their small babies to grow up fast, it’s impossible to turn back the time later on and at some point they are probably going to regret that they tried to rush the time.

So here are some of my favorites I took of Dasha:

It was so incredibly hard to select just a few pictures from hundreds I was taking of Dasha! If you’d like to see more, check out the whole slideshow!

Julia is one of our past brides and her wedding back in February was just gorgeous. I got very excited when they called to tell us that they are expecting a baby.

We shot these photos in their home and I have to say that their nursery is the cutest one ever - I just loooved all the colors. Julia is such a great designer!

She was so much fun and up for anything I wanted to try. We had a great time together.

Here’s some of my favorites:

Beautiful baby girl Anna was born just a week later. Enjoy your little bundle of joy!
