Thanks, now on to Naomi!

I cannot believe this little sweetie is 1 years old! Although I guess I can as her and my daughter Jaylee are only 2 weeks apart! I took Naomi's newborn pictures and Wow how time flies! She was such a little sweetie for this session and still has the most beautiful eyes! Here is a little sneak peek for you guys!

Enjoy!

Sweet little Baby Boy!

I just Loved capturing these first days of little Soda's life! Isn't he just a doll!?!

I got to photograph his Mommy and Daddy for a maternity session and I was super excited to hear I would get to do the newborn ones too! It was a beautiful day and we used all natural light for these! It is always fun to get to play around with the beautiful natural light and I couldn't have chosen a better little subject! I had a hard time choosing favorites to post for the sneek peek, so hope you Enjoy!!

I thought this one was just perfect for the vintage conversion! LOVE this family Shot!! Isn't Mama Just beautiful!?

Back on Track

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have been sick the past week and if you are waiting to hear back from me I am returning emails, and phone calls as fast as I can! Today was the first day I have been feeling more like normal and it is currently just after 4am and I haven't gone to bed yet and I havent even made a dent in my "to-do because your Way behind" list ;-), so bear with me, we will be back on track soon! THANKS!!

My Girls!

So here are a few recent pictures of my girls! These were Jaylee's 6 month photos and it took all of like 2 minutes to get like 20 perfect shots, she is my little angel when it comes to photos! (although Kayt was the same way when she was little too..) Then I decided that I wanted to go for "That Shot!" you know the one of all your kids together, looking perfectly at the camera so you can blow it up on a Huge canvas for your wall? Well I tried, and this is what I came up with! (hey, my children do suffer from the dreaded "photographer's child syndrome" where they are just sick of having a camera in their face all the time! LOL.)

Gotta LOVE a 2 year old! With a little PS magic though I did a little head-swap and think I got one that I can use, I ordered a new purse with the picture on it and it turned out Great! Ask to see it when you come for your session, they make great gifts too!



Thanks for looking!



Enjoy!

And Just a little Vintage fun on this one!

Sisters!

I had the pleasure of photographing these two adorable sisters the other day. I have done Audrey's pictures before, but this was my first time meeting miss Lucy! Arn't they both just so adorable! If you saw mamma you would know why! It is always tough getting two together, but add in a 1 year old and it is quite the feat! LOL. But Look at these sneak peeks, I cannot wait to start proofing the rest and find more adorable images!

Enjoy!
