Yesterday I watched Shea for one of my best friends, Melissa Wilson, and since today is Shea’s 2nd birthday Melissa asked if I could take the time to photograph her if I had time when watching her…with specific instructions NOT to buy her a new outfit for her birthday! Ha! Melissa knows me all too well! I can’t do anything half way if I tried and there was no way I could take Shea to the mall to go shopping for my own kids and myself, and not get her anything, when her 2nd birthday is today! That would be so mean of me!
So of course I HAD to go to my favorite kids store, Janie and Jack, and when I found this little tu-tu and fairy wings I HAD to get it. It was too darn cute and Shea was all about trying it out…so we went with it! Such a fun shopping partner! I am keeping the wings for Nina but the tu-tu, shirt and little beret are all Shea’s as a little happy birthday gift…sent with magical fairy wishes and love for a happy and healthy year to come! May all your little dreams come true Shea! You’re a cutie patootie and a munchkie pipi-squeak! Seriously, I know that is a lot of nicknames in one sentence, but if you ever meet Shea, you’d be saying the same thing!
My favorite…She is such a little sprite!
This was the “I am DONE with this picture stuff and I want my binky back” face. So darn cute!
Happy Birthday little Shea and I love ya Melis! She’s a doll!
Happy Thursday!

Meet little guy Rhys! He’s such a handsome little one! I got to spend some time with him and I always LOVE my newborn sessions for the simple reason that I am very hands on and get to soothe them. I always sneak a kiss in at some point in the session too! How can I not?! Well…I got some great stuff of Rhys, and as usual, I have to thank mom and dad, Angela and Ron, for great conversation during the shoot! I always enjoy chatting with mom and dad during the shoot as much as I love shooting!
Here are some keepers!
Never too young for some hip attire!
Wonder what he was thinkin’ about. Hmmmmmm…
Such an alert and happy little fella! Love it! A cute little cuddle bug!
Thanks Ron and Angela! He’s so precious and I hope you enjoy every second with him!
Happy Tuesday!

I LOVE Coen! He is just the cutest! Coen was 10 weeks old here, although he was born VERY early at 2.8 pounds roughly. A miracle baby for sure. I had the best time getting to know him, his mom and his dad, and you can totally tell he was relaxed and just takin’ it all in!
COME ON…he knows he’s cute. ;o)
Lovin’ the do…
Coen…what a joy you were to hang out with!
Happy Thursday…

Gosh it’s been a while since I have blogged. A lot going on over here in my neck of the woods! I haven’t taken my camera out in a while to photograph my two little ones, Nina and Peyton. I love them so much, but often I feel so terrible about being a professional photographer and not having all that many photos of them. It’ s one of my goals, from this day forward, to capture more moments with them on film. The simple gestures, the crazy faces they make when I ask them to try not to pay attention to me when I am pointing my lens at them, and them just being together. They have such a strong relationship and are the best of friends and individually, they are the most spirited people I know! I love them with all my heart…
Nina…
Peyton, waiting for daddy to pick up his phone…
Nina, Nina, Nina…I just never know what little world she is in. It’s often not this one! ;o)
Love these two little munchkins!
Happy Tuesday!

I had the wonderful opportunity to take Jessica Creter’s (of Tulaloo Stationery Studio) family pictures, as well as some fun shots of herself for her website and of her ADORABLE boys! Jessica did the invitations of one my brides last year and her work is beautiful! I highly recommend checking out her website! She’s a talented gal! ;o)
I love photographing kids. They keep me young and in shape! It makes me feel like a kid myself!
What a cutie..
and her other cutie…
We found the world’s largest leaves! (not really but they were big)
Mom and Dad…married with children and still in love!
Jessica is so beautiful!
Thanks so much Jessica! I look forward to seeing the card you designed with the photo! Merry Christmas to you all and hope Santa is good to the boys this year!!!
More coming up…still have to edit a whole lot and blog a whole lot too! Busy busy time of year!
Happy Friday!
