langley city family portrait session:: colin, teresa and brooklyn

december 2010 was a spectacular month for colin and teresa: their sweet baby girl brooklyn made her entrance in to this world and they became a family. this past saturday, the new family made their photographic debut, and i was fortunate enough to witness this!

my dearest friend candice, teresa's cousin, set this photo session up as a birthday gift for teresa. colin was in on the surprise and made sure that everyone was up and camera ready by 9am, as requested by candice! 

brooklyn is the newest baby i have photographed so i was a little nervous but i did my research and had some ideas in mind for working with a one month old. we took advantage of the available light in colin and teresa's apartment and spent about an hour together, photographing the whole family, just mom and baby or just dad and baby, and then just brooklyn and all her newborn cuteness!!!  i think this series of images captures how in love colin and teresa are with their new little daughter, and with each other!

i am so excited to share these pictures with you. congratulation colin and teresa! you are one beautiful and photogenic family!!
