Sunflower Shoots and Surprises!

 Hello and welcome back to Sail Away Photography!  This session post is a few weeks late, but it is for good reason! I had to hold off until the news was revealed... and it was so hard to keep it a secret! Claribel asked me to take her annual family pictures in a local sunflower field which we have done for the past three years in late summer.  Although we ended up choosing a different farm this time, the flowers did not disappoint. We started with portraits of the girls and their baby brother who was in serious model mode.  Towards the end of the session, Claribel pulled me aside to whisper in my ear, "I'm pregnant!"  I almost yelled congratulations immediately, but then she continued, "the girls don't know about it, I was hoping you could capture their reactions as we tell them." Claribel and Darren took them down one of the rows of flowers and as they started walking towards me, the news was revealed! It was such a special and beautiful moment! Being a photographer is one of the best jobs in the world! Hope you enjoy these sweet images.    :)

Nolan's Baseball Newborn Session

Newborn Nolan's photo session was a home run!  To start out, it was a gorgeous summer day and we were able to go outside to take family pictures. Then we transitioned to the posed shots, and I loved that we captured the family's love of baseball! Naturally we incorporated Nolan's oversized glove chair as well as his signed Nolan Ryan jersey! He even woke up and I was able to capture some of my favorite wide eyed shots as well as some stellar smiles. Little Nolan knocked it out of the park during his session.  He's got a big glove to fill but I am confident that Nolan will take after his namesake one day!
