this beautiful young lady will always hold a special place in my (and my family's) hearts.  as you can see, she is beyond gorgeous, but what these images don't show you is that she is just as beautiful on the inside!  sweet, fun, free spirited, caring, dedicated, honest…and most of all loves God with ALL of her heart, and lives that every day in every way!  ami, God has big big plans for your

need ideas for what to wear?  i will occasionally be posting some trendy color coordinated suggestions to inspire your sense of style for your session.  i advise my clients to choose 2-3 colors (black, white, and khaki are considered neutrals and allowed to be incorporated without "using up" any of your 2-3 color choices)  and coordinate the family around your color palate.  unless you are just

while i can't even come close to picking a favorite season…right now, i just completely love the spring!  and we're having an early one this year.  in late february, dogwood trees started blooming, and fields of grass begin to turn such a vibrant green!  everything is so beautiful and new!  and it seems that so many babies are being born too!  so tiny and perfect, newborns are by far my most

This tiny sweetheart was almost 3 weeks old, believe it or not!!!  And just over 6 lbs at the time of her shoot!  She had a few complications after birth, but pulled through wonderfully and is steadily working her way back up to her birth weight.  Though quite un-comfy from an uncooperative tummy...we managed to get some adorable sleepy shots as well as some precious expressions!  I so enjoyed

Picture this (really, no pun on words intended lol)...it's moving day. We have lots of friends coming to help us load the U-Haul. We wake up and find our air conditioning unit frozen up with at least 3 inches of ice on all sides. And yes, brilliant me, has scheduled a evening session for at least 6-7 babies to come over for a mini shoot in my antique bathtub...which had to be loaded and moved to

Terrible twos my toes!!!  P was so quick and easy to capture!  He struck all kinds of natural poses yet allowed me to capture real life expressions!  What beautiful brown eyes and plump and pouty lips!  I've had the privilege of capturing this lil man since he was a few days old!!  And this time, it was a surprise for mom!!  Imagine the thrill on her face when she got to see her lil man's pics

So REDHEADS are the ones who have more fun!  Baby E, with his beautiful red hair and gorgeous "not fair a boy get's 'em" blue eyes, was so much fun to capture!  full of flirty glances and toofy smiles, I couldn't stop snappin'!!  And just a couple of weeks older than my lil caboose, I had fun interacting with him, as well as chatting with mom!  Hopefully we can get our boys together on a play
