I am SO behind on my blog, so many sessions left to blog, so many things to do, in the process of some big things next year, can’t say yet
This is family amazes me. There is so much I can want to say about them, don’t know how I’m going to do this without sounding too naggy. Love the girl’s name, Emma, love her features, her smile, her sleeping, her personality, everything about her! Her parents, SUPER COOL people, not kidding, and really positive people(world needs more of those) too! The moment I met them, we were already laughing. Being completely honest, there were a couple things that made me worry about this session, the weather(no sun, real gloomy), and that she’s two months old(tough age to photograph). Emma and her parents proved me wrong! We said ‘whatever’ to the weather and made the best of it. This has got to be one of my favorite shoots I’ve had in a while. It almost didn’t feel like I was doing my ‘job’, I felt like I was hanging out with a relaxed family who didn’t really care much about being photographed, they were just a new family being a family. Leaving the session, I felt really happy to have met such great people/family.
Cool story about them? This girl’s early appearance made her mama miss her maternity session and newborn session, but guess what, they totally ROCKED their 2 month session, I couldn’t ask for better! Excited to photograph this little girl at 6 months old again
What did I do? All I did was be there to capture this family being who there are, and this, is them-

















alana - hey Phoebe! i lived in Beijing for two years and loved it! (unfortunately never made it down to Shanghai though) My goal is to go back to China in the next 5 years for a photography tour. Anyway, I love the first image–gorgeous house. And also really like the third image–the bike, the sidewalk, the gate–very Chinese.
