Oh, Snap!

Lauren and Abby Ross Photography

Nobody likes a braggart, but you can’t help it if your perfect angel is the most beautiful creature ever known to man.

Need some perspective? Photographers Lauren and Abby Ross offer a stylish point of view with photojournalistic portraits of your small fry.

Completely spontaneous, the charming sister team shoots the whole family either on location, at the beach, or both. Cheesy poses are verboten. Instead, they hone in on whatever catches their eye (blocks, a great chair) and use it to tell a story.

Or in the case of your peanut: the greatest story ever told.
