{ Happy 18 Months, Little Miss "I" }

Little Miss "I" was the typical 18 month old during her session :) She ran, she explored, she cried, she laughed, she drank her sippy...everything I would expect.

All of her images turned out wonderfully, but my favorites are this storyboard of her checking out the bridge and the water below.

Luckily, I will get to see "I" and her mom & dad again in a few short weeks as baby #2 is on the way!

{ Welcome to the World Baby "B" }

Baby "B" and his parents were wonderful to work with! We were able to get some awake images as well as some sleeping ones, but my favorites are the baby bits images...just the feet or just the hands. A few years from now, mom and dad will look back on these pictures and be able to see just how tiny he actually was.

When you invest in custom photography, you are investing in memories and keepsakes, and I am proud and honored to help you capture these fleeting moments in your childrens lives :)

Now, introducing Baby "B"...

{ Pettiskirt Princess! }

Well, I did it...I finally finished all the beautiful images from the Pettiskirt Princess Portrait Event! By the end of the day I had met and played with, over 20 little princesses!! I had so much fun, and I could tell the girls did too.

Some girls were scared of the skirts, or the parasols, while others thought they got to take the skirts home with them, (which made for a sad good-bye). And the 2-3 year old crowd carried the picnic basket with them everywhere :)

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed taking these images and making them into beautiful works of art. Enjoy!!

{ A little behind...}

The past month I have been really bad about posting recent images on the blog, so I am attempting to catch up. I want to make sure that every little cutie gets there moment to shine on the blog :)

That being said, here are 3 of my favorite little sisters. They all love being in front of the camera and that makes my job easy! Their personalities could not be more different, and that is what I try to capture during the session. I can't wait to watch them all grow up, and hopefully I will be lucky enough to work with them for their senior pictures!

The same day I photographed the sisters above, I photographed their friends, who coincidentally also have 3 little girls. All these girls, and yet, my son is in a preschool class full of boys...go figure :)

These next images illustrated exactly why I love newborns so much. Photographing them is like creating a work of art, for example, you cannot look at this sleeping baby and not feel peaceful, and the way the mother is tenderly kissing her new baby creates such an emotion for anyone looking at the image.

{ 3 Month Old Sleepyhead }

What I wouldn't give to curl up with a blankie and take a nap: ) This little cutie was wide awake at the beginning of the session, but with the rain pattering on the roof, and the nice warm blankie, she was soon asleep. She looked so peaceful, I could have taken pictures of her forever.
