Well, I couldn't find a worthier subject for my very first sneak peak! This is little
Xander, and I am sure his parents are anxiously awaiting a glimpse of his portraits, as it has been a very busy week since I took them! And Brandon and Sara are just the most loving new parents ever - so proud! And
Xander is such a good little boy. Although he was awake for almost the entire session (not what you want in a newborn session), he almost didn't cry at all. He was so patient through all of the poses and other shenanigans that accompany a newborn shoot. And check out that dimple! Just like his daddy has.
But poor Sara about busted her c-section stitches when right in the middle of a family shot, little
Xander started peeing all over daddy. I busted up laughing as well, but not before I captured the
hillarious moment, seen above. It was certainly a pleasure to meet you, my little nephew
Xander.
Well, now that all the kids have moved out and my parents are "empty nesters", they have decided they don't need an 8500 square foot mansion and will be downsizing somewhat. While that may make life simpler for them, unfortunatlely for me, I will be losing my absolutely favorite place for location shoots. There is not better place to get phenomenal light, fantastic architecture, beautiful landscaping and a huge variety of looks in one location! Besides having 9 bathrooms for clothing changes, authentic French Chateau architecture and the finest attention to detail I've ever seen in a house, one can do a family, children's, engagement or senior shoot there and have it look like they traveled from a field of wild lavender, to the inside of a stately mansion, to a rustic boulder and grass hillside, to a beautiful brick and Gothic archway courtyard.
