Baby Liza | Orange, CT

You know when you meet genuinely good people, and they’re so easy to be around and talk to that you just get a sense of comfort from being in their presence?  That’s Lacy + Gene.

Way back when I moved to Connecticut and started my business full-time, Lacy + Gene were my very first PAID engagement session.  I think I drove a total of an hour and a half, gave them a number of prints and charged then a whopping $75.  Hey, we all have to start somewhere, right?

My editing style has changed quite a bit since then, but I still love these pictures.  I had to dig way back in the archives for these!

The thing I remember most is how unbelievably nervous I was — these people were trusting me WITH SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS.  But Lacy + Gene were so easy-going, so laid back, so much FUN to be around that I was instantly put at ease.  Lacy also became my greatest client-champion to date, passing my name around to everyone she knew.  She was one of the strongest forces in helping establish me in Connecticut, a feat for which I will be forever grateful.  Before I moved, I told her that I needed to find a Californian Lacy — so far, no luck.  She cannot be duplicated. :)

When I saw Lacy + Gene again last week, we picked up as if no time had passed.  But of course much had changed since last we laid eyes on each other: they got married, they’ve created an absolutely gorgeous home together, AND THEY HAD A BABY!  And that little gal is why I stopped by, for a quick and casual session out on the lawn.

So! Meet sweet, 3-month-old baby Liza, one of the calmest, happiest babies I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph — not a surprise, with parents like hers!  You can’t miss her eyelashes! (My favorite photo is last.)

Lacy + Gene, it was so wonderful to see you, meet Liza and spend an afternoon chatting in the sun.  Our door is always open if you ever plan a visit to San Francisco! :)
