Little Zoey

Some sessions make my heart smile. This was one of them.

Meet Zoey.



So happy. So fun. So carefree. So BEAUTIFUL (like seriously beautiful, Trent & Layla, you better watch out . . . )



I've got a little thing for blue eyes . . . I love them (perhaps b/c I have two blue eyed babies myself), and Zoey's beautiful baby blues are stunning. . . See for yourself. . .



And those curls? So great! Zoey didn't have any hair last time I photographed her, so I couldn't resist snapping an image of those amazing curls (just like her mamma's).



Aren't they fun?




We had such a great time. Thanks Trent & Layla for meeting me in the park so I could once again play with your lovely little one and my little camera. I hope you love your images (I sure do!).

Sweet Nadia

Meet sweet, sweet little Nadia.



You can see she's well loved.




Especially by her daddy. . .



And of course, by her mommy.



And . . . well . . . Nadia has a little announcement to make . . .



Of course she's excited!



It's not every day that you get to be a big sister!

John, Ritisha & Nadia - it was so good to meet you all. Congratulations on your announcement!

Little Anna

Anna turned One, and a birthday of this milestone calls for pictures, don't you think?




We spent an afternoon in the park. She got to play and kiss and cuddle with her Mom and Dad - two of her favorite playthings.





Anna is seriously the most laid back little toddler ever. What lucky parents you are, Joe & Sarah.



Thanks for letting me play in the sunshine with you guys. Hope you love your images!

Happy Birthday Remy!

This session was everything I ever hope for in a session: a laid back family, a cute, sweet, & happy kiddo, lots of love, and the sunshine . . . oh, the sunshine!

Little Remy here is turning the big ONE this month, so it only seemed appropriate to capture some images of her as she crosses this milestone. Of course, having loving parents along for the pictures makes my job easy. They get to kiss and cuddle and love (all the things they normally do with Remy), and I get to be there capturing bits of their life together. How fun!

Meet Jeff, Vivian & Remy . . .

Beautiful family, right?

Jeff, Vivian & Remy - thank you so much for trusting me to take these images of your family. I hope you have the best day as you celebrate sweet Remy's birthday! Enjoy!

Can You See It?

Nicki had a special spot in mind for her family session pictures. She said there was a small creek by her home that was pretty, and as we made our way from her home to the creek, the beauty was obvious . . .



Pretty fall leaves, the reflections in the creek, the quaint stone walls, rustic fences, and that sunlight . . . oh, how I love that sunlight.



As we settled in for some pictures, she asked, "Can you see it?" clearly referring to the beauty of her location . . .and yes, I saw it. Looking through my camera I saw beauty that went well beyond our obvious surroundings. . .

Beauty that exists as an animated little boy who rarely stood still and made the cutest faces with a smile that brightened not only his face, but all of us around him . . .



Beauty that exists as a curious toddler who loved to look close at my camera, and throw rocks and kiss on his mom and dad . . .



Beauty that exists as parents whose love for their family was almost palpable. . .




Beauty that exists as a family that really couldn't be any more perfect for each other.




So, to answer the question . . . YES, Nicki, for sure I see it. The beauty of your family is as obvious as your amazing location, and I thank you so much for sharing that with me!

Nicki happens to be an amazing photographer - I was honored to have her photograph my family. Check us (and her lovely images) out!

Playing in the Sun

We've had such a glorious Fall! Every time I take photos on a beautiful weekend, I keep thinking that this will be the last of my beloved sunshine until Spring . . .

Fall just keeps proving me wrong . . . and I love that!

I met up with my friend, Stephanie and her family on one of the last weekends in October. What a beautiful afternoon to snap some images of her adorable family. My friend, Sunshine, did not disappoint.







And one last image . . . just to keep it REAL (taken at the end of our time together, and those poor babies had ENOUGH of our picture-taking!!). I love this photo, and it makes me giggle. :)


Adam, Stephanie, Ryder & Berkley, Thanks so much for meeting me in the park and allowing me to snap some images of you guys. Hope you cherish these images for many, many years!

Miss Madison

I finally got to meet little Miss Madison - a full 14 days old here.

Isn't she beautiful?

Holy cow, I do love a beautiful baby.

And I love seeing her parents interact with her. There's just something magical about the experience you have with your first child. I love capturing that feeling.






Michael, Brittanny & Madison, thank you so much for letting me be a part of this wonderful experience with you all. She's perfect in every way! Congratulations!

Their Own Personal Teddy Bear

Can you believe this little guy is only 11 days old?

Teddy's big sibs, Hank & Josie, are so full of personality & spunk. They have a lot to teach this little guy. (and I love, love, love that picture of them with little Teddy in their lap . . . like, "Well, what do we do with him now, Momma?"). And of course, parents with their little ones will always melt my heart . . . always.




As always, it was wonderful to walk into this house - so full of love and fun.
Eric, Allison, Hank, Josie, & Teddy - thank you for having me over again to play! Hope you are enjoying your images.

They Call Her Aubrie . . . I Call Her Cute

Nothing better than a smiling, happy baby.

Well . . . maybe a CUTE, smiling, happy baby. . .

or ADORABLE, cute, smiling, happy baby. . .

or adorable, cute, smiling, happy baby that kisses on her dolly and loves her mommy and daddy.

Really, people, I could go on like this forever, so I'll just leave you with these pictures of cutie Aubrie (and her cutie parents too).







JP, Amber & Aubrie, thanks for meeting me in the park and letting me play with your adorable little one and my camera! Was so great to meet you and I hope you are loving your images!
