These are such wonderful images … the whole time I was scrolling through, i kept thinking the only thing missing is mom and then there you were!!! These are beautiful and hope you print them … your baby’s smile is to die for!

pamela joye - March 29, 2013 - 2:31 pm

these have such a dreamy quality to them; they’re real, but ephemeral at the same time. if i were pressed, the 9th photo of your boys…my oh my that is one to print and linger over. your older boy has such an expressive quality to him. he’s like a sage in a very little body.

Bronagh - March 29, 2013 - 3:22 pm

Staci - March 29, 2013 - 3:26 pm

oh those are darling. Love the ones of the boys together. super sweet. and that big sweet baby grin???ahhhh so cute!

Jennifer Capozzola - March 29, 2013 - 4:26 pm

These are beyond precious! The way your big guy is interacting with your little guy is so sweet. And boy oh boy, the smile on your little guy…made me smile huge right back at him. Love these Monika.

Marla - March 29, 2013 - 7:09 pm

Monika! I always LOVE seeing your images. They are always so full of everything I always wish for in my own. These are so light-filled and fresh looking, but love just jumps from them at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see your family this month. =)

Laurie Schultz - March 29, 2013 - 9:40 pm

Wow, what treasures these are! I am absolutely in love with the one of your oldest son holding the head of your youngest and your use of negative space in it. I love the soft colors and gorgeous lighting in all of them!

Toni Burks - March 31, 2013 - 12:33 pm

These are filled with emotion and the warmth and love of home. Love that the soft tones suit them perfectly.

Suzanne - March 31, 2013 - 4:17 pm

Holy cow, these are fantastic! I adore the tones you chose – the clothes and room are both so sweet and soothing. Well done and so glad you jumped in at the end!

Karen Porter - April 1, 2013 - 9:38 pm

So beautiful, Monika. The light is lovely, the smiles are bright and the love is warm in your home. Beautiful captures. Your kids are so adorable.

Jeanie - April 4, 2013 - 7:02 pm

Wow! These are so beautiful. I love the soft colors and love, love, love your sweet baby’s big grin!

Toni Raper - May 7, 2013 - 4:18 pm

so many favourites here! I am so proud to see how your eye is growing stronger, your voice becoming louder, these are very ‘me photographia’. Your family is evidently so in love with each other, especially the brothers! I would love one day to meet you all in person.

Time goes so fast!!! I can’t believe my baby is already one month old. He is smiling and being more active in-between his naps. We can’t wait for spring to start our outdoors adventures. Monika Tweet

i really loved every detail. this was an awesome way to preserve him right now. we all try to find mental pictures from when we were a certain age, or our kids turned a certain year. this is so much better than the birthday party shot. though the cake images with the candle are truly beautiful. just amazing monika. he is a wonderful kid. it just comes out of his pores xoxoxo

Dorota - November 15, 2012 - 3:31 pm

Monika nie dowiary Poprostu piękne i takie bardzo wzruszające

Toni Raper - November 15, 2012 - 4:12 pm

joanna - October 6, 2012 - 5:21 am

Oh Monika, every time I see your new session I admire your talent and growth. But this is not just about your talent or technics that you use. It’s about your sensitivity and ability to connect with people very easily. The family is beautiful! And the softness of your amazing pictures enhances the atmosphere of love that I sense from your pictures. I love it!

Suzanne - November 7, 2012 - 9:45 pm

These are all so beautiful! I really love the photos of the baby on the orange blanket…really perfect!
