It is with great pleasure that I get to introduce my daughter on my blog! Jolene Mae Vaccaro was born on September 1st at 1:58am at our home in Petaluma. We have spent the last few weeks getting to know each other and learning A LOT! Some of these photos were taken when Jolene was just 2 days old. She did so great! My parents and husband were on hand to help at the shoot. My dad got the wrong end of the deal when she projected something unpleasant his direction! That is all part of being a newborn photographer.. and mom.

I have to say that I have a HUGE respect for the moms that make it to my studio within those first two weeks. There is NO WAY I could have gotten it together to make it to an on location photo shoot during that time! I am seriously impressed with all of the moms and dads who have made the journey to the studio! I am lucky to have been able to do these shoots in the comfort of my own home at my convenience!

As many of you know, I will be on maternity leave until November. I look forward to seeing you all then!
