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!     

Tiny sneak peek for a tiny little girl...

This is Josie, my very first preemie.  Wow, was she tiny - born at 33 weeks and amazingly out of the NICU in less than a week, this teeny little thing is not quite 5 pounds.   This shot doesn't do her small size justice!  This is definitely my new favorite image.  We waited for this smile - she kept teasing us with it, and persistence paid off.   Kelly and Michael, here's a sneak peek while I work on the rest of your gallery.  See you soon! 

Book shoot.

I am working with the super sweet and talented Amber Jones on her new book.  It is an absolutely precious story about a little boy's conversations with his pregnant mom about his future baby sister.  Of course, it's based on a true story... : )  Amber wanted photographs to illustrate her book, so she gathered about a dozen of her favorite 1-4 year olds for our first shoot at Davis Park.  We took some fun action shots and also snapped some quick individual ones of each kiddo (see below!).  As you can imagine, it was quite a shoot, plagued by unpredictable sprinklers, escaping balloons, crazy clouds and sticky lollipop remnants, but it the energy and joy flowing out of these kids was amazing!  They were all so cute and it was a blast!  Can't wait for our next one...  

Baby blues...

I just love newborns - and little Allison was such a breeze.  This is the new baby of a good friend of mine, and it was such a fun shoot!  At 3 weeks old, we were afraid she had passed that sleepy newborn stage, but she was SO sleepy and SO good.  Not to mention beautiful!  And big sister Claudia is gorgeous, too.   Enjoy!
