Oh, this little guy was so adorable. He slept and stretched and yawned and smiled. We had a perfect spot to take his photographs in front of a set of windows. Natural light is so wonderful especially for newborn sessions.

The past couple weeks have been so busy. My family took a much needed vacation and we spent some time visiting family in NC. Today my daughter started Kindergarten. I remember when she was this little and my, how the time has flown. I’ll have several updates for the blog in the next couple days – a glowing mom to be, a handsome 10 day old, and a three year old little guy. May have to add a few images of my Kindergartner as well!

Z family, treasure every moment with your beautiful son.

Thank you for a delightful session!

Ms c is already six months old – where has this year gone? It seems like just last week she was born. We met this week to do her six month photo session. She is rolling and can sit for a bit and has the most amazing smiles and belly laughs!

She was the second baby I’ve photographed recently wearing her baptism gown. Isn’t it beautiful?

H family, please enjoy these previews!


Anya Coleman: So sweet and fun! Love these!

I had a wonderful time with the V family last week. They are welcoming their sweet baby girl V into the family. We took some beautiful portraits of ms v in her baptism gown. It was so lovely – beautiful gown and bonnet. It was her mom’s when she was baptized! I love using heirlooms like this in portrait sessions.

ms v has three handsome brothers. We found a perfect spot outside for some family photos and for some images of each of the boys. Aren’t they adorable?

As we were finishing our session ms v gave it up and went to sleep. There is something so peaceful and perfect about holding a sleeping baby. This is true even when it’s 95 degrees outside.

V family, thank you so much. Enjoy your preview!


Linda Hogan: Beautiful photography of a beautiful family - essence of innocence completely captured!

Anya Coleman: So sweet!

Twins are so beautiful together – there really is an amazing bond between them. Place twins next to each other and almost immediately they are calm. It’s really a blessing to be able to meet and photograph such sweet and tiny babies.

This weekend I had two sessions with newborn twins! This was my second session of the weekend and this brother/sister pair was perfect. They have a delightful family and it was a pleasure to meet them. I just loved dad’s accent!

C family, please enjoy these images. Will have the others to you soon!

Monday morning I met these lovely ladies for a super fun outdoor session. The weather was perfect – was glad to escape the humidity we’ve had lately.

I had the honor of photographing ms c when she was a newborn. It’s so amazing to see her growing up! She is walking and talking and singing and dancing and she has the most amazing expressions. Big sister g is a beautiful little girl and every time we meet one of her images ends up showcased on my website. Can you see her cute freckles? These girls are so much fun together. Sisters definitely share a special bond.

We had lots of fun picking up our favorite flowers, leaves, rocks and bugs. Roly poly’s were the choice insect of our morning.

D family, thank you so much for meeting me! Please enjoy these images – will email you soon with the rest.

This evening I got to meet mr. h. He loves to stretch and had the hiccups twice during our session. He has super blue eyes and is really, really strong. His nursery has an adorable jungle animal theme and he has a green blanket so soft I wish it came in adult size. He likes to listen to hair dryers, loves his paci, and is just perfect in every way.

I had the pleasure of doing his mom’s maternity session a while back. She is such a great mom already!
