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!

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.

and our roly poly friend…

This afternoon I had a wonderful session with sleepy ms. h. I don’t think she woke up for more than a few seconds during the entire session! She is absolutely beautiful and it was so much fun meeting her.

Big brother n and big sister i were super great helpers!

S family, congratulations on the birth of your precious daughter. May your nights be filled with sleep and your days be filled with joy!

This weekend I got to meet and photograph sweet ms. e. She is so beautiful and so strong! She is a fighter and her parents are so very proud of her.

We took a picture of ms. e with mommy and daddy’s rings – when she was born her daddy’s ring fit all the way on her leg. We wanted to show how much she’s grown in just a few months. Amazing, isn’t it. Her mommy loves black and white photographs, so here are a few previews.

J and A, it was a pleasure to meet you. Your story is inspiring and I wish only the best for you all! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to photograph your sweet baby girl.

Saturday evening I had the privilege of meeting the D family. Luckily the rain held off until after our session!

These children are so beautiful and full of energy. I’m saving the family images for the gallery (have to save some surprises!) but here are some my favorites of each child.

S and family, please enjoy these images. I’ll have your gallery to you soon!

This lovely mom to be was so much fun! She has such a cute baby belly and had such great clothes for our session. Her little guy is due pretty soon and I can’t wait to meet him. We were lucky to even get a few images with her mom. I can tell already this baby is going to be very spoiled.

A, thank you so much for the wonderful session. I really admire you and can’t wait to meet your sweet miracle!

Summer break is here and that means folks are looking for fun free/cheap things to do with children! We love to go to movies so I’m always excited when the Family Summer Fun movie schedules are posted. Mid-week morning movies are either free or $1 and most theaters have specials for concessions.

During our maternity and family session ms. a was telling her baby brother secrets – very seriously I might add. I’d love to know what she was telling him – probably that he is going to be born into a delightful family that will love him beyond measure and spoil him beyond belief. I know baby to be’s grandparents and some other family members and I am so very excited for them.

We had a fun session – a mix of family and maternity inside and then some of ms a outside. I love mixing studio and outdoor work. It’s a great way to get lost of variety.

G and C, thank you so much for coming by! I had a wonderful time and will have the rest of your images to you soon. Thank you!
