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!

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.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon with two beautiful, content, happy babies. Twins – one boy and one girl. They are at such a delightful stage – tons of expressions, coos, and melt your heart belly laughs. We didn’t get to do many curly poses but we had some wonderful conversations. Babies have stories to tell with their little “agoo, agaa, agee” coos.

mr p and ms b even while asleep had the most content expressions – I would almost dare to say they smile a bit. What blessings these babies are!

Thank you L and I for having me yesterday. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and your family. Please enjoy these images. I’ll have the rest of your gallery to you soon!

This weekend I had the privilege of meeting ms. m. She was a perfect little lady and her session was tons of fun. We had some beautiful sleepy poses and some wonderful wide awake moments. Her big sister A was a great helper ~ she loves trying to find the ladybug who lives in my camera.

I had the pleasure of photographing mom for her maternity session and I love being able to come back and meet the baby! P family, thank you so much for having me. I hope you enjoy these previews. I’ll have the rest of your images to you soon.

Meet mr. a! He is such a calm and mild mannered little guy. He was sleepy and curly and content. Big sister s was a super helper and gave little brother tons of kisses. We got some wonderful family images, too.

a family -please enjoy these previews! I will have the rest of your images to you shortly!

Thank you so much for having me over this morning. I really enjoyed our session!

I do! How could I photograph a little guy like this and not?

I had such a wonderful time today meeting the b family. They are just delightful. Mr. D is such a trooper! He is such a happy baby and has the most beautiful smile. It just melts his mother’s heart when he smiles – you can tell.

Thank you so much for allowing me to spend some time with your family today. Enjoy your beautiful baby! I will have the rest of your images to you shortly.

This morning I spent a couple hours with sweet ms c. She is just precious! We had a wonderful session and got to use a lovely pink monogrammed blanket and some new really cool zebra fabric. I can’t go into stores anymore without looking for that perfect something to use during a photography session. ms. c’s mom had a little zebra print bow to go with the fabric. We tried that and this really pretty red bow. How perfect!

I need to find a cow print to use with a little boy. Readers – let me know when you find great fabrics or fun props! I love trying new looks.

P family, please enjoy these images! It was truly a pleasure to meet you all this morning. Enjoy this sweet little blessing! I will have your gallery to you soon.

I had a wonderful maternity session this morning with the P family. Little ms a is about to be a big sister! We had a great time today singing Elmo and Five Little Monkeys. We even took some time to let her play in her birthday tutu! ms a was a fabulous helper while we took some photographs of her mom. Just a few more weeks until child number two is welcomed into the family!

Spring is just around the corner and new life will be surrounding us. My crocus started blooming this week and I know daffodils won’t be too far along. After a weekend of snow and ice, I am ready for spring! This is such a perfect time to celebrate new life – in the world around us and in the form of a tiny baby about to be born.

Thank you for sharing this time of anticipation with me! I can’t wait to meet your sweet baby. Enjoy your preview and I will have the rest of your images to you soon.

I had the honor today of photographing the week old daughter of dear friends. My APC family will surely celebrate with me the arrival of Jeff and Nicole’s daughter, Clara Grace. Is she not a beautiful baby? She has the silkiest hair and the most delicate, feminine fingers. Perhaps she’ll have her daddy’s amazing piano and organ skills.

Clara Grace’s mom and I love to spend time together and I am so thankful for her friendship. It’s a blessing to have what I call “2 am friends” – the ones you can call at any time no matter what. She is certainly one of those friends. She is also my monthly pedicure buddy.

I can’t wait to watch Clara Grace grow up and see what all life has in store for her.

The four legged beauty below is “big sister” Teela! She enjoyed some of my props while Clara enjoyed lunch. She’s adapting to the new baby so very well.

H family, please enjoy these images! Many more coming soon. Thank you again~

During either late February or early March I’m going to have some mini sessions especially for silhouettes. How many of you have one of these of yourself from when you were a child? I just love the timeless look of silhouettes and they make such great gifts for family – especially grandparents.

More details coming within the next couple weeks about these items. If you have a session already scheduled in the next couple weeks and would like to have a silhouette from your session please just let me know in advance!

Wouldn’t these be adorable on little note cards?

I will have a preview of a maternity session and a two and a half year old soon. Stay tuned! (and stay warm!!)
