Brand New Baby Girl

I did this beautiful mom's maternity session so I was really looking forward to meeting this baby... little did I know how truly gorgeous she would be with the most incredible hair! Thank you so much R family for the honor of meeting miss S and I can hardly wait to see her again in 6 months!

I love, love, love this shot... this tattoo is very special to this dad and I love that we got to incporporate it into a shot with his new baby girl.




She has acquired the "little monkey" nickname so I'm so glad I brought this hat along with me!

Very cool storyboard :)

Christmas in July

It's crazy how fast the year has already flown by and before you know it, the holidays will be here... and believe it or not, many people have already started planning for holiday photos! I'm so glad because my calendar books up very quickly and I only have two dates left for September and one for October. That gives me November to hurry up and get holiday photos in!

Just a head's up that I am planning on offering a special holiday mini-session at a local Christmas Tree Farm on the first Saturday of December... this will be a digital package only since it's so close to the holidays. Just imagine colorful scarves and gloves, red noses and chopping down the family Christmas tree, all caught on camera! More to come on that at a later date!

I am pleased to show you my 2009 Holiday Card Collection! I offer stunning custom holiday cards that are sure to give your lucky recipients a momento of your beautiful family. You know everyone looks forward to seeing photos of your beautiful family around the holidays and not some cheesey $.99 card! This year's collection is a stunning assortment of double-sided and folded 5x7 cards printed on luxurious linen paper. Text and photos are completely customizable.

Rocker Baby!

This awesome family drove from Columbia to meet me at Baker Park for photographs... and I hope the look of excitement on my face wasn't too over the top when mom asked if it'd be okay if they brought out the guitar and showed me dad and baby's matching band shirts. YES! Love it when families suggest things that reflect their personalities because afterall, photographs are a snapshot of the moment we're living in and what better way to remember that than including the things you love.

Thank you so much M family for a really fun and laid back evening! I had so much fun I totally lost track of time and could've hung out for hours. Here are a few of my favorites!



Little J started walking not too long ago so trying to sit him still was not in the cards since there is so much to see at the park... but I think this shot was about .0002 seconds of sitting still!

This shot is always a lot of fun for this age!

He was a trooper and lasted a lot longer than he probably should have for an evening session but when he decided he was done, I think he wanted to tell me he was DONE... hahaha! I LOVE this photograph!

Someone very sweet is about to turn one!

I'm on a roll lately with adorable kids, awesome and fun parents and today was icing on the cake. This little one was full of sweet smiles for me and was sooooo good this morning. I betcha he never gets fussy!

Thank you C family for allowing me to help celebrate your son's first birthday. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites!

I love being able to capture photographs in a baby's nursery. It's such a special place and it's only a nursery for such a short time... before they grow up so fast.

A boy and his "castle"!

He definitely adores his mom and dad... maybe as much as they adore him!

Happy birthday to you sweet baby!

Beautiful New Family

This happy couple recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy and it should be NO surprise where he gets his good looks from... mom and dad were not only gorgeous but also so nice and easy-going... and baby K was perfect with a little whimper that melted my heart. Could my morning have gone any better? I don't think so!

When mom showed me the beautiful nursery, I knew I had to set-up shop there!

Safe in dad's arms!

All-American Adorable

If all one-year olds were as easy and fun as this cute guy, then I just might only prefer to photograph this age! This photo session was a birthday gift from little R's aunt and uncle and I am the lucky girl who got to help him celebrate the occasion today with some beautiful photographs.

What a picturesque all-American family! Thanks so much E family a really fun morning and espcially to R who made me laugh just by being so cute!
