Emma and Jack

2009-10-21T19:50:00.003-04:00

This is my third time taking photos of Emma and Jack. They just keep getting cuter every year. Emma and I had our usual talk about our favorite princesses and they both had some fun jumping on the bed. All in all, a fun day.

Miss Laila-6 months

2009-10-11T17:08:00.002-04:00

Laila came to see me for the first time this week. What a complete sweetheart! She had gorgeous eyes and such a sweet temperament. I couldn't ask for a better model. Enjoy, Emily! Looking forward to showing you the rest.

Lydia

2009-10-11T17:05:00.003-04:00

Another fun urban session-perfect location for a tween like Lydia. She was a little nervous at first. But she got into the spirit of things quickly and was an old pro by the time we were done. Such a fun session!

Ben

2009-10-11T17:01:00.003-04:00

I've had a few urban sessions lately. I love doing them because they're something a little different from the norm. The colors and locations are so much fun. Ben is funny and goofy and just a lot of fun to be around. Here's a few from his session.

Miss Katie turns 1

2009-09-08T18:09:00.002-04:00

I'm not sure how that's possible since it seems like I just took her newborn photos. But Miss Katie did indeed turn the big 1. As always, Katie and her mom were both a pleasure to work with. And it was fun to use a location that was special to them. Here's a few, Abby. Enjoy!

Sweet Newborn Sisters

2009-06-28T14:25:00.002-04:00

Man, I love the newborns! Their smell, their sweet little sounds. There's just nothing like a newborn. Meet Breana and Avery, sweet little newborn twin girls. This was a marathon session, but these girls were troopers. Barely a peep out of them the whole time. Enjoy your sneak peek, Tish and Joe. I can't wait to show you the rest!

Jayden is one!

2009-05-05T09:36:00.002-04:00

I haven't seen Jayden since he was a newborn. He's grown so much, but is just as gorgeous as always. And big brother, Nick, is one of the sweetest little 4 year olds I've ever met. Here's a sneek peak for you, Andrea. Don't worry-I got some smiley ones, too. But I can resist his lips and eyes in these serious poses.

Best. Hair. Ever.

2009-03-11T19:21:00.003-04:00

Doesn't Miss Katie have the best hair? It makes me laugh every time I look at her. Katie came to visit me today. She was a great sport through all of our outfit and backdrop changes. Enjoy your sneak peek, Abby and Mike!

A fluffy hat and a clawfoot tub...

2009-03-02T14:44:00.003-05:00

...make for an adorable session. Ryan and Ian came to see me over the weekend. Always so cute! I'm busy proofing, but here's a few quick images from their session.

Little Fashionista

2009-01-12T18:46:00.002-05:00

Meet Madison. At 9 months old, she was all smiles. We dressed her up in all different getups and she never complained a bit. Such a sweetheart and quite possibly the bluest eyes I've ever seen!

Sweet Ian

2008-12-09T09:43:00.002-05:00

My last newborn of 2008. He's such a sweetie! His brother, Ryan, was one of my first newborns and I feel like I've come full circle with this wonderful family. Congratulations to Alicia and Keith!

Ahh....newborns!

2008-11-18T10:15:00.004-05:00

I love them! Little Pete was a sweetheart. Cuddly and new with big eyes. He didn't want to keep them closed for me, but I won in the end. One of big brother Thomas, too.

Debonair Jack

2008-11-10T19:14:00.002-05:00

Four year old Jack was quite the fashion plate when he showed up at my door in his jacket and tie. We had fun posing and managed to get some more casual shots in, too. Enjoy your sneak peek, Kelly and John.

Siblings at the park

2008-11-06T16:42:00.003-05:00

This was a fun(and chilly) session. Meet Kevin, Hannah, and Ryan-brothers and sister. Mom really wanted some photos of them together before Kevin moves on with his adult life. Bittersweet for a mom to think about. They're not even my children and it made me a little sad. I have to say, though, these are fantastic kids. And Kevin was such a great sport, even though I asked him to meet me in the park at 9:30 am the day after a Halloween party. Enjoy your sneak peek, Aimee and Jason.

Jordan and Janie

2008-10-21T16:40:00.001-04:00

Some of my favorite little models. I've been seeing Jordan since she was a few months old and Janie since she was a few days old. They're such sweet girls and mom's got great taste in clothing. Here's your sneak peek, Kelly and Jay.

Jack and Emma

2008-10-07T14:40:00.001-04:00

These two little ones are just the sweetest! And I love their momma's sense of style. This is the second time I've photographed Jack and Emma. They're just as gorgeous as they were last year. Enjoy your sneak peek, Sara and Jason.

Urban Workshop 2008

2008-10-02T11:52:00.002-04:00

I recently participated in an urban workshop for children and seniors. My kids were lucky enough to play model for part of the morning and I wanted to share the results with all of you. If you're looking for something fun, funky and different, feel free to contact me about booking your own urban shoot.

Simply adorable!

2008-08-20T18:21:00.003-04:00

I've photographed several cousins of Jimmy and Paul, but this is the first time I've gotten to photograph them. So cute and full of spunk! I love kids like that! Enjoy your sneek peak, Kate!

I'm so lucky!

2008-07-29T13:54:00.002-04:00

I got to work with one of my favorite little clients in one of my favorite places. Thomas is 2 years old now and just as sweet(if a little more active...lol!) as ever. He loved running around the park, feeding the ducklings, and clapping along to "Happy Birthday". Here's your sneak peek, Mary. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Sweet Howie

2008-07-21T11:56:00.002-04:00

Howie was just a tiny guy the last time I photographed him. Now he's one year old. I can't believe how quickly time passes. He was a sweet little guy, full of smiles for me. I've got to get back to editing, but here's the first two I've done. I hope you enjoy them, Sheila!

It's newborn season

2008-06-10T10:54:00.003-04:00

It seems like I'm getting a lot of newborns lately. No complaints here-I love photographing these little newbies. So sweet-and this little guy was no exception. He slept pretty much from beginning to end. You can't get much more perfect than that! Big brother, Nicholas, was equally as adorable! Enjoy your sneek peak, Andrea!

Gorgeous newborn

2008-05-04T14:35:00.003-04:00

I got to get my baby fix the other day. My sister's sister-in-law had a baby girl a few weeks ago and I got to photograph her. Such a beautiful chubby newborn-my favorite kind! Delaney was a sweetheart and you sure can tell her mommy and daddy adore her. Enjoy your sneak peek, Kellie and Andy!

Sisters and their little brother

2008-04-22T17:55:00.005-04:00

I photographed these three beauties a few days ago. The girls were naturals and had fun playing model for the morning. Sarah is the oldest and a sweet little lady. Katie is a free spirit, full of life and fun. And Eddie is a mama's boy, through and through. Enjoy your sneak peek, Amy and Phil. I'm looking forward to showing you the rest!

Second time around

2008-03-24T20:09:00.002-04:00

Kelly has been bringing Jordan to me since she was 4 months old. In fact, she was one of my very first clients. That made it doubly special to photograph Jordan's brand new sister, Janie, for the first time at 6 days old. She was such a sweet baby-curious as can be already. She didn't want to fall asleep and miss a thing. Janie was awake for most of our session, but I got a good 5 minutes of sleeping newborn to get these sweet shots. One of big sister, Jordan, too. Congrats on your second little princess, Kelly and Jay!

Michelle and family

2008-03-11T08:18:00.001-04:00

One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to work with and get to know truly nice people. Michelle and Rob brought their family to see me over the weekend. They're lovely, sincere people. We worked on getting some family photos along with a few of army man Blake and lots of their little ballerina, Natalie. I'm knee deep in proofing today, but here's a quick sneak peek of the first few I've proofed. Enjoy, Michelle and Rob!

And Princess #3

2008-02-19T18:19:00.002-05:00

I had a weekend full of princesses! Hannah and her brother, Ryan, came for photos on Sunday. Ryan is a boys' boy. He took great pride in roaring his loudest lion roar at me. So cute! But Hannah-she was all about the princesses. We talked about her favorites-Snow White and Cinderella(whom she calls Princess Mom because she thinks her mommy looks like Cinderella. Isn't that the sweetest?) We had fun playing and their daddy had fun giving me bunny ears to make the kids laugh. A good time all around.

Here's your sneak peek, Aimee and Jason.

Two Little Princesses

2008-02-18T14:30:00.004-05:00

Mairen and Delaney came to see me last weekend. We dressed up, sang, danced, and talked about our favorite princesses. The perfect girly visit!

Here's a quick sneak peek for you, Jennifer. Your girls are just lovely!

My Ryan is ONE!

2008-02-11T18:34:00.000-05:00

Wow! I haven't been here in a really long time. Sorry, guys. Life got busy and I haven't been updating as regularly as I'd like. But I'm back now and ready to post to the blog again.

I so love when I get to photograph a child from the time they are born. Ryan first came to me when he was only a few days old. I've photographed him many times over the past year and I was honored to create his one year portraits for his family last weekend. As always, he was a sweetheart, full of love and personality.

I had a hard time trying to decide which ones to show you, Alicia. Here are a few.

Three cuties and their puppy

2007-11-21T16:14:00.000-05:00

How do I get so lucky to get such beautiful clients all the time? These three siblings came to me with the sweet puppy, Delilah. Sessions with a puppy can be chaos, but this one did so well! And the girls did a great job cuddling her and keeping her still. And Bennett-well, look at him. He's all boy-a true compliment from a mom of three boys of her own. Enjoy your preview, Amy!

Jack is back

2007-11-21T16:06:00.000-05:00

He's a year older, but as cute as ever. He wasn't sure he wanted much to do with me at first, preferring to cuddle with his mom. But with the help of chocolate, he came around. A boy after my own heart! Enjoy, Kelly!

Thomas is back

2007-11-16T11:17:00.000-05:00

And as happy as ever! We needed Cheerios to keep him still now that he's on the move, but he was still all smiles and good nature. Enjoy, Mary!

Your turn, Alicia

2007-11-15T11:55:00.000-05:00

Here's a little sample from your session. As always, Ryan is a sweetie!

Because I know Alicia is blog stalking again

2007-11-14T10:41:00.000-05:00

I know you're checking in the middle of your meetings...lol! Sorry, I haven't gotten to yours yet, but I did a few of Carlitha and Daniel's.

These kids are absolutely beautiful, sweet, well-mannered. And real troopers, too. We had them standing outside in the garage in very cold weather and they never complained. Honestly, I can't say enough about them. As you can see from our sneak peek, they also photography beautifully.

Enjoy, Stacey and Alicia!

What a cutie!

2007-11-13T14:31:00.001-05:00

How can you not love this face? This is the first time I've had the pleasure of photographing Howie. Last time we met, he was still on the inside. He's such a sweetie. And his sister and brother sure do love him! Enjoy your sneak peek, Sheila!

Tatiana and Trinity at the beach

2007-11-07T11:06:00.000-05:00

You've been very patient, Susan...lol! Here's a quick sneek peek of your sweet girls.

Emma and Jack

2007-10-10T10:18:00.000-04:00

Emma and Jack were such cuties! Emma was a little model, posing for me without any prompting. She loved dancing and spinning in my fluffy petticoat and she's all about her princesses. A really girly girl for sure! Jack was a sweetheart. He mostly wanted to chew on his hands, but he'd look up occasionally and give me a big old smile. Such fun to photograph!

Meet Marrin and Avery

2007-10-09T11:00:00.000-04:00

A few months ago, I got to photograph two gorgeous little boys and their parents on the most beautiful property. I was lucky enough to return to that property recently to photograph their sweet cousins. Marrin(2) and Avery(13 months) are so adorable. I love those big eyes! We had lots of fun singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and I found out that Marrin shares my love for M&Ms. Mom and dad got in on the action for a while, too. Here are just a few to share.

A session that was close to my heart

2007-09-18T15:48:00.000-04:00

Joshua is the son of two of my closest friends. He has a heart defect that required open heart surgery shortly after he was born. He is a true miracle baby and I am amazed at his sweetness, spunk, and determination every time I have the good fortune to spend time with him. Jeff and Lisa, it was a treat to do a session with such and amazing boy.

Jordan at 18 months

2007-09-11T15:04:00.000-04:00

I've been photographing Jordan since she was 4 months old. I have a special place in my heart for her and her mom because she was one of my very first models. Jordan has always been a sweetie-easy to entertain and full of smiles. She's a lot busier now that when we first started, but that just makes her double the fun. Enjoy your sneak peek, Kelly!

He's back and he's the big 6 months

2007-08-13T14:27:00.000-04:00

It's one of my favorite little clients, Ryan. We kept this little guy posing forever and he was such a good sport, as always. I've gotta say I'm going to be sad when he grows up and loses the chub. There's nothing better than a baby with thigh rolls. Too bad they're not as cute on a grown woman, huh?

I know you've been waiting patiently, Alicia. I hope you like your sneak peek.

Thomas

2007-08-06T15:51:00.000-04:00

Thomas came to see me for the first time when he was 6 months old. He was a joy then and he's a joy at 1 year. So sweet and smiley that it was hard to take a bad photo of him! His mom and dad worked hard to keep him on the backdrop, but he was all grins the whole time. Mary and Jake, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Liam

2007-07-30T16:39:00.000-04:00

Liam and his parents came to see me in the studio last weekend. With those blond curls and the big blue eyes, he reminded me of a little cherub. So cute and happy! He came in for traditional studio shots and we did get some of those. But he was happier to snuggle with Nino the bear on the bed. So we went with that as well. Here's a few for your sneak peek, Allison and Bill. Enjoy!

Jack and Holden

2007-07-25T15:01:00.000-04:00

I photographed these handsome boys and their parents last night on the most beautiful property. They were such fun and remind me so much of my boys. I could tell that Jack is a responsible boy with a good heart. He took the whole session very seriously, as he knew that his mom really wanted great photos of her boys. Holden is a spitfire. His personality draws you right in and he wins you over with his sweet silly temperament. It truly was a privilege to photograph this family. Enjoy your sneak peek, Paula and Robert!

Rock and Roll 8 year old

2007-07-24T10:46:00.001-04:00

I can't believe my first baby is 8 years old! How does that happen? Noah is my sweet, sensitive boy who always wants to do the right thing. All my boys are special in their own way, but what makes Noah special is that he made me a mommy. I will never ever forget that life-changing moment of looking at my child for the very first time and realizing that I'd be entrusted with his care.

Okay, enough of the sappy stuff. Now that my boy is getting a little older, it's time to leave the baby pictures in the past. So we took his guitar and headed down to a local alley to do a rock and roll urban shoot. We had a great time and came away with some really fun images that I'd like to share with all of you.

Meet Madeleine

2007-07-09T13:38:00.000-04:00

Madeleine is a sweet little 16 month old. She arrived at my studio all smiles and good nature. She loved to play and snack, but was not so fond of the backdrops...lol! Her sweet little personality sure does shine through in her photos. Enjoy your sneak peek, Erin.

And the Seniors

2007-07-02T10:43:00.000-04:00

Here are the senior images from my workshop shoot. Please feel free to refer me to any upcoming seniors you may know. They were so much fun!

Stepping out of my box

2007-07-02T10:31:00.001-04:00

I recently had the opportunity to attend a workshop on outdoor natural light portraiture. I learned a ton and felt like I really had an opportunity to step outside of my artistic box and try something new. Many of these images are higher in contrast and color than my usual work, but what fun they were to take and process! I got to try my hand in more urban settings and I got some extra experience posing and working with seniors. We were lucky enough to have access to some amazingly beautiful and accomodating models and I thank them for the wonderful experience they provided. I look forward to sharing these photos with all of you and bringing some of what I learned to my work in future sessions.

Welcome to my blog

2007-06-29T13:34:00.000-04:00

I've been thinking about starting this for a while now and decided to take the plunge. This is a great place for you to see the work I've been doing, get a sneak peek of your recent sessions, or find out about any special marketing I'm currently doing. As I've been lucky enough to become friendly with many of my clients, I'll also share some occasional photos and news about my own family. Please feel free to check often and use my blog as a way to refer me to others. Thanks so much for the loyalty you've all shown me over the past year.

I want to start off right of the bat with a recent session. Ryan first came to me as a newborn and recently returned for his 3 month photos. I love working with him because he's such a sweet, happy baby. And I love working with his mom because she always comes to me with a vision. This time, we were going for the fresh clean Ivory baby look. I think we achieved it.
