Mr. T Turns Three!

Well my Mr. T will be three this week! I'm still not sure if these will be his official three year pictures. I just never quite know what I'll get when it comes to this little monkey. He's very excited about his party so I'm sure I'll get lots of smiles then!

Happy Winter!!!

These pictures brought a smile to my face and made the winter weather seem just a bit more bearable....hope they do the same for you!

Mothers, Daughters and Sisters

I think that these must be the bravest ladies I know....they braved the coldest day of the year to come out and snap some pictures. I am so glad they did! I felt honored to be able to capture the bonds in this beautiful family. I was so touched by the warmth between all of them and you have to admit that the family genes for blonde hair and blue eyes are pretty great too! After they left it really made me wish that I had had sisters to grow up with too!

The Best Gifts Come in Small Packages!

Baby "S" was born just a few days before Christmas so he was the most perfect little present for his proud Mom and Dad! I think I probably said "WOW" about 20 times throughout his session because he was perfect!!!! He didn't cry once, he slept just at the beginning but then was wide awake and more than happy to do whatever we came up with. It had been a little while since I did a newborn shoot so I had many favorites. Here are just a few...

We had to include the proud big brother who was also my very capable assistant for the morning!

...from our home to yours!

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year! Our Christmas celebrations have been great with the exception of the stomach flu which hit me on Christmas Eve. Thankfully it was not too severe and I was able to still be with my family Christmas morning as they ripped the paper off the presents! My favorite part of Christmas this year has been watching our two little monkeys play and play and play. I'll be the first to admit that they have way too many toys now but they are making sure they enjoy everyone...to the fullest!
Our Christmas cards have all been delivered so I can finally post our Christmas greeting as well as some photos from our Christmas card shoot. I really wanted a beach theme for our card this year so we took these photos back in August....when the weather was a whole lot warmer! The card was a 5x5 folded, press-printed card.

Custom Designs

One of the best parts of my job is using the photographs I take and creating custom designed cards and storyboards. Below are just a few that I have put together over the past few months.
