7 day old Sweet A

Seriously, how cute is this little gal. She was such a dream to photograph as well, just curled right up and she was out. It's not a surprise that she's beautiful, you should see her parents!




And she even gave us a little smile...



Hope the move goes well today (on top of a newborn, they're moving today!) It was wonderful to meet you and I can't wait to see how much she's changed at 6 months! I'll be in touch with your gallery

7 day old little J

Remember that gorgeous mommy-to-be from a month or so back? Well, they welcomed little J into the world just 7 days ago. Isn't she cute?



And look how tiny...



It was great seeing you again! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

An adorable little girl and her big brothers

Meet the H family. This was such a fun session. I always feel so honored to be asked to photograph newborns. It's such a fleeting time, they change daily and the window to capture just how tiny and flexible they are is short. This little sweetie did it perfectly though.




And I always love these images. Not only are there 3 generations represented but I can picture her someday saying "how did I fit up there?" It just shows how little they really are.




And lastly, these are little I's big brothers. Are those the sweetest faces! They are so good with their little sister.



I had so much fun with all of you today! Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to share this special time with you! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Maternity at Sunset

I felt honored to photograph this beautiful mom is who is expecting her third in June and even more honored to call her my friend. She has two adorable girls already and unlike me, the gender of this little one due in June is unknown (I could never wait to find out!). They are amazing parents and I'm so looking forward to taking some of this little guy or gals photos next month.

Oh, and for those who have heard the term "sweet light" and wondered what it was...well this is it.

Meet Little T

This little cutie is just a week old. For being so little, he was so strong! He'd stretch those legs out and no one was going to move them. He was so good though and so sweet, and had the most beautiful skin.

It's always so fun to visit with new parents and little T's parents (and grandma) were absolutely delightful. Those first few weeks after bringing a baby home is such a magical time and it's so much fun for me to get to share in a little part of it.

It was great meeting you! Here's a sneak peek! Looking forward to watching him grow!

Look at those blues!!

Meet 2 yr old little G, he had to be the sweetest thing and look at those beautiful eyes!! Little G was one of the most agreeable 2 year olds I've ever met (with wonderful parents too!). We just explored, played at the park, and had a great time. It was so great meeting you!! Here are a few favorites for a sneak peek

Sisters

Because they'll always have each other...

These little cuties are J&J's older sisters. While the boys were taking a little break, we grabbed the pettiskirts and headed to the park. I loved this image of them and had to share! Aren't they just precious?!

One Week Old Twins

How adorable are these two!!! Meet little J and J, one week old newborn twins from today's session. They were so good, slept like angels and curled up perfectly. I grabbed a few quick for a sneak peek. It was great meeting you all today!

A Little R&R

What's better than the ocean, sunny skies, and a week of family fun? A big sand castle to jump on and destroy!

It was great to get away, especially with how cold it's been this Spring and just in time for a warm up here!

Newborn with 1000 expressions

I had the pleasure of photographing this little cutie this morning. For being so tiny, he had the expressions of a 3 month old. For newborns, we typically start out slow since many wake up when you take the blankets off. So we get started, uncover him halfway, go in for a close up and this is what he did...he smiled! and not once but at least 5 times


then "eye contact" which is not an easy thing with a newborn


and at the very end...out like a light


Thanks W family, it was great meeting you and I'd say you have a natural on your hands!

Sweet Little S

This sweet little girl is just 5 days old. Check out all that beautiful hair!

She was the perfect little model, she pretty much posed herself. Here's a bit of a sneak peek. It was great meeting you all this morning! Hope you all got some rest after I left.

2 week old angel

While this crazy weather might be derailing other sessions, this little guy couldn't care a bit about it snowing at the end of April. He was perfect. I always get a little nervous when newborns get past around 10 days, many decide the world is just too interesting to sleep for pictures but this little one was a complete angel (with a little help from mom). He's got the cutest big brother too with the most gorgeous hair and eyes, well you can see for yourself.

Thanks so much Ms L for a fun morning. It was great meeting you and your boys! Here is a sneak peek of a few favorites...

Gorgeous Mom to Be

I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful couple this morning for a maternity session. As you can see, she's not only gorgeous but is absolutely glowing. It was so fun documenting this exciting time for them as they become a family.

It was seriously cold, but they were game so we even got a few outdoor shots in. After a long winter, it was so fun to get back to shooting outside. Hopefully this is the last of this weather and everything will be much greener and warmer when the baby comes!

I grabbed a few favorites for a sneak peek. Can't wait to meet your little one!

I will be out of town the rest of the week and will be returning emails on Monday. We are now scheduling into June for Spring sessions so if you have your heart set on Spring pictures now is the time to book! There is a calendar tab on the main website where you can view open dates.

Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Email Hiccups

It's come to my attention that a few emails from the contact form have not gotten to me or I get them 3-4 days after being sent. Apparently the server has had a few hiccups. I always try to reply right away, so if you send me an email and don't hear back within 2 days, please try again or give me a call. Thanks!!

Hats

I love hats. They're so fun in pictures. I'm always on the hunt for unique handmade hats and lucky me, I found a designer that makes the cutest handmade hats and we teamed up together. So I get to take even more pictures of hats and I'll have awesome hats for you to try at sessions!



If you'd like to get your own fun hat..check out Beanie Designs at www.beaniedesigns.com!

Baby R

I love photographing newborns. They are only that little and squishy for such a short time. I had the honor to photograph 13 day old Baby R today and meet his wonderful parents. Baby R was so good, I don't think I even heard him cry the whole time I was there. He didn't want to sleep at first but once he did...he was OUT. I picked a few favorites for a sneak peek, your gallery will be ready in about a week! Thanks again!

Scheduling Update

Just a quick update for scheduling. May and August are booking up fast! If you are looking to schedule a session for either May or August, let me know as soon as you can. With advanced notice, I will always do my best to squeeze in newborns so we can get them in when they are itty bitty even if the schedule looks full.

Thanks!

Embracing Winter

Okay, so I'm really itching to get back outside. I love shooting outside so during this last snow, I snuck out for a few minutes just before the sun went down to try to capture a few of the good parts of winter. The first is the tree in my front yard and the second is the snow on our deck. Happy winter...

Just a few more

Just finished up this gallery and well, she's just so cute I can't help share a few more!! Too many favorites.
