Little Miss "M" is ONE

Thanks so much "M" family for stopping by today. We all miss you so much! Here are your sneak peeks of the cutest little girl in her green dress!

The Amazing "R" Family

Today I got to spend the most WONDERFUL day with the "R" family to take baby "Z's" infant photos. Let me just tell you that these parents are some of the sweetest people on the face of the earth. Their LOVE for each other and miracle baby "Z" is absolutely overwhelming and just the most pure form of love I've ever seen. Thank you so much guys for such a wonderful day. Here are your sneak peeks before I sneak off to bed. I'll email you and call you when the full gallery is online.

Welcome Baby "A"

Thanks so much "R" family for coming to the studio on Saturday for baby "A's" newborn session. I always have so much fun with your family. You have 2 beautiful boys. One of my favorites of the session is the first one in this post where Mr. "C" looks like such the proud big brother! These are your sneak peeks for now. I'll email you when your full gallery is online.

Happy New Year

Party like it's 2008!!!!

For Pat

Here are a few images from a family session this weekend. I shot these images for my dear friend and former co-worker Pat. Pat and I used to team-teach middle school intensive reading classes together before I left teaching to stay at home with my two girls. I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed meeting your niece and nephew that you spoke of so often. These are your sneak peeks. I'll let you know when your full gallery is online!

the FAMILY portrait

Hey sweetie! Thanks so much for helping me carry my ladder, running to get the tug-of-war rope AND for being my exposure guinea pig! You were a GREAT helper!
Okay, to be honest...I was kinda dreading this session. I LOVE photographing individuals and I find groups to be quite challenging. BUT, this family WAS SO MUCH FUN! I really can't believe how much fun I had and how easy everyone was to work with. Despite some sand spurs, ant bites, and cut toes I think we got some really great images tonight. Thanks so much everyone for being so sweet, fun and cooperative! These are your sneak peeks and I'll let you know when the entire gallery is online. Happy Holidays!

Knellinger Wedding

These are earrings that her sweet husband had delivered to her in the limo before the ceremony. She was so touched. He's a keeper for sure!

A few details shots from the day.

Well I did it! I made it through my very first solo wedding. I have to thank "L" from the bottom of my heart for trusting in my abilities and for taking a leap of faith to hire a rookie photographer to photograph her beautiful wedding. She was an absolute sweetheart to work with as were her 3 beautiful daughters, son and hilarious new hubby. Here are a few shots from their very special day.
