I finally got to meet this little beauty this morning. She had her mommy on pins and needles the last few weeks she was pregnant, but she officially joined her family 12 days ago. She weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 3 1/2oz and 21 1/4in. She was so alert and not too interested in falling asleep at all. We're heading out of town for spring break, so I thought I'd pick a few faves and get those up before we take off. I just couldn't leave her mama waiting! I'll get some of the beautiful color images up as soon as I figure out why they turn grayish when I load them on here. Any internet geniuses out there?
The weather was so amazing today I found myself wishing I had an outdoor session scheduled. So, I decided to have one with a couple of my own favorite subjects at the playground. See what we all have to look forward to once this weather sticks around!? Oh, and have I mentioned how much I'm LOVING my new camera?
I know it's been a while, but this should make up for it. I've had a couple of sessions and have now finished a 30 page, 10x10 book for M&B (in between being horribly sick and my shoulder surgery of course). I'm so looking forward to spring and some GREAT picture weather. I'll be offering mini session parties to celebrate this great season as well as Easter. More info on this wonderful opportunity for great pics for your fam and friends at a fraction of the cost to come. In the mean time, some pics and book pages! Stay warm!!
This little 4 year old beauty was sick the day we were going to do this shoot, but the next day she was feeling up to it. We had so much fun talking about her dolls and ponies and she loved showing me around her room. I just let her lead the way. She's such a camera flirt! Just look at those lashes. Her mom has to be one of the best decorators I have ever seen! Thanks for the fun morning and please, give me some decor pointers!
Well, the holidays were crazy, but we survived. As promised ages ago, here are some more Becca and Matt photos. I'm sorting through the reception, trying to narrow it down. Hopefully this will do for now. I love the vintage feel!
I need at least one baby girl and one baby boy to launch my custom newborn announcements. If you have a baby due in the the next 1-2 months, send me an email. The fist 2-3 bookings I get will get their session at only $20 and a customized announcement that will be available to order with the same discounts as the Christmas cards! That's an in home, stay in your comfy clothes, don't worry about the cold photo shoot in the first 10 days of your baby's life when they're changing sooo much. I hope to hear from some mommies with bellies soon!
I just wanted to drop a little note and update you all. My shoulder surgery went well, but recovery has been a bit more rough than anticipated. I will be back into the full swing of things just after the first of the year. I will be out of town over Christmas break, but will be checking my email if anyone needs to contact me. Once we move past the Holidays I will be on the prowl for some gorgeous newborns to be my poster itty bittys with some great discounts on birth announcements and your photo session. So, if you are or know someone who is expecting in Jan-Feb who wants sweet pics in the first few days/weeks this could be you! More info on that to come. Finally, hoho and merry merry. Stay warm!
Well, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! Now that things are winding down (or picking up for the next holiday), I thought I'd post a bit of information. I wanted to get out a reminder that it's not too late to order your cards for this holiday season. There is also still time to order prints to put in with your letter if photo cards aren't your thing. I will be unavailable starting this Friday (Dec. 5th) through the following Monday (Dec. 8th). I will be back in the office starting Tuesday, December 9th, if anyone needs to get ahold of me. Now, a post isn't a post without a photo. I spent Friday and Saturday of my holiday weekend shooting this beautiful couple's wedding and reception. Aren't they gorgeous!? More to come...
We got so lucky with this family's shoot. It was raining on the way there, while we were walking under a bridge to get to the tracks, and just as we left. The rain stayed away while we were actually shooting, though. It was windy and a bit chilly, but these guys were such troopers. Well, we got it done. Such a contrast in the kiddos eye color. Just beautiful!
I love working with people of all ages. Every age group is different and equally wonderful. There's nothing like the curl of a newborn baby, the mischievous smile of a toddler, a teenager preparing to take on the world, or the warmth and love of a family. I am an on site photographer. Just name your favorite spot and I'll be there. I prefer to use only natural lighting to capture a natural you. Life is not posed, so you won't find me pinning anyone to one spot. I have been known to lay in the grass, play 'peek-a-boo', make silly faces, hide behind a tree, or even climb one. Whatever it takes to make you or your little one comfy and feel at ease. For me, it's all about freezing a moment in time.
How to contact me

My passion for photography grew the moment my daughter's first birthday pictures came back blurry thanks to an old point and shoot camera. I was no longer satisfied with just "snapping a pic". I wanted to capture a moment in time. All my memories would no longer be blurry unless I said so! So I bought my first SLR, began my education, and the rest is history.
