News!

In the next week or so, I will be launching my brand new beautiful blog, so stay tuned!  Pretty colors, huge pictures, flash header, better organization - I can't wait to share it! 

On another note, my poor camera has unexpectedly been in for repair, but it should be back late next week better than ever.  Sorry for the lack of posts, and a huge thank you to all of my clients who have been so patient and understanding about rescheduling their shoots!  

Finally, keep in mind that the holidays are right around the corner, and I have a limited number of available sessions.  If you want to schedule a holiday shoot, now is definitely NOT too early!  

And because I hate to post without pictures, here are two storyboards from our trip to Maine - Colin at 16 months and Wes at 3 1/2.   This involuntary hiatus from shooting has allowed me to play with pictures of my own kiddos from our vacation! 

Doll baby.

This little cutie pie is an absolute doll.  These images were from another installment of the shoots I am doing with Amber Jones to illustrate her children's book.  This is her little girl - the happiest little thing in the world!!  I just love this stage where they can put their toes in their mouth and just roll around happily on a blanket in the grass all afternoon...  What a life!  : ) 

Little blondies in the flowered chair.

These sisters are so gorgeous - my boys are destined to go to prom with them some day as they are the same ages and have known each other since they were teeny babies.  Usually I am all about color, but something about the light this day just called for black and white.  They look beautiful in either!  

My nephew.

Just wanted to share some shots of my nephew I took when he came to visit for his 9th birthday.   He is the perfect little model - not only is he gorgeous, but he is the perfect poser (I did not even have to tell him what to do!).  He is going to be a lady killer in a few years - look at those blue eyes!  We did this urban shoot at a little stretch of stores near Scalini's and Times Ten Cellars for all you Lakewood folks...  

Happy Birthday!

This Victoria on our little urban adventure to Fair Park.  We saw a huge paper mache dinosaur, a really funny looking cat, and tons of very exciting trucks and buses.  Look at those gorgeous eyes!  She turns 2 today, so Happy Birthday Victoria!!  

Sisters!

Oh my goodness, these girls are adorable!  Three sisters, 4, 2, and brand new - all with their own personalities.   Baby Olivia was SO good for me - she's 13 days old here, and she slept the WHOLE time.  We were inside for her newborn shoot, then outside with all of the girls, then inside to cool off, then outside again, and so on.  She didn't even stir!  And big sisters Ella and Ava were too cute - Ella was such a sweet and protective big sister already, and Ava was so fun and spunky.  I really enjoyed meeting you all.  I can tell you have some great times ahead of you with these three.  

We're back!

We just got back yesterday from our 2 1/2 week trip to the Maine woods.  We go every summer to my husband's family's house on a beautiful lake in the middle of practically nowhere.  It's an outdoor wonderland and the kids had a blast - fishing, remote control boats, blueberry picking, swimming, relaxing, and a little frog kissing here and there.  Here's a peek at our trip...  

Squishy baby.

Meet Shelby, the squishiest, cuddliest little thing ever.  She was pushing three weeks at the time of the shoot, but you never would have known it - she was the perfect little model!  She gave me some amazing eye contact while she was awake, then she zonked out for the rest of the time and didn't wake up no matter how much we moved her around.  Mom said she cried at the slideshow, which is the best compliment I could get.  I LOVE my job and love to make people happy with my work.  : )  Enjoy!   

More of the tiny little girl : )

Here are a few more of sweet little Josie and big brother Schaefer, now that the gallery is finished!  You can see in the second image how tiny she is next to her mom's hands (but I think mom's hands are pretty little, too).  I've been getting my baby fix with all these newborns I have had lately - they are just SO sweet!  I had another newborn last week that I will be posting soon....    

Engagement shoot.

Here are a few shots from recent engagement session...  We did some bread and butter engagement shots, but I wanted to post a few of the fun ones, too!   I LOVE my baby and child shoots, but this was such a refreshing change of pace.  : )  Angele and Ryan - I had so much fun with you two, and wish you all the best!
