sweet smile

what a cute, little family of three....and such good sports! it was pretty chilly out, and they braved the cold weather like champs. i'm so glad they did. this little boy was so darn cute in his train outfit. he had the most beautiful blue eyes and i loved his sweet smile with those little teeth peeking through.

sisters

as soon as i heard this family had 3 girls, i was excited for this session. i went over to their house, and we spent some time exploring their backyard and woods. each of these girls is absolutely gorgeous and they each had their own little personality, but i really enjoyed seeing these sisters interact with each other. they were all full of energy and just a lot fun to be around.

just lovin' some baby toes

baby girl!

so many of the newborn sessions i have done lately have been boys, and i was really excited to meet this little girl. what a beauty! she had a head full of gorgeous dark hair, and i must say i think she looks just like her daddy. i can totally see the resemblance in the 2nd and 3rd pictures. i really enjoyed being around this family, and i'm so happy i could be there to take these for you.

family of three

what better way to start off the new year than with a cutie, cutie newborn. when this mama called me her little guy was almost three weeks old, and i knew i had to act fast. luckily all the stars aligned and i was able to go over to their house a few days later...and i'm so glad i did! what a beautiful baby boy! he was so alert and full of expression.

as much as i love to capture sweet babies by themselves, i LOVE to take those first family photos. there's nothing more inspiring than seeing how parents look at their brand new babies. their eyes are so full of love, and even the littlest thing can make any proud parents smile. i hope you love these as much as i do.















i LOVE this face!

hello 2010!!

after a crazy, busy christmas season and a wonderful break for the holidays, i'm super excited for 2010! but, before moving ahead, i really want to thank each and every one of you for an amazing 2009. i honestly had no idea what to expect for my first full calendar year of business, and i couldn't be happier with how it all played out. i got to meet so many wonderful families and people, and i feel truly privileged for the opportunity to share in a part of your lives. thank you for making last year a year to remember. here's just a taste of the last 12 months.




now....hello 2010!! i've got so many new and exciting things planned for this year. the biggest change this year will be the addition of my viewing/ordering room. this has been in the works for awhile and will probably not be ready until the summer, but i'm super excited to start having you all over to my house to view your images and place orders. i'm still in the process of picking out all the furniture and planning the collages for my walls, but hopefully i will get it just the way i imagine it in my head. i also hope to be able to help you make the hard decisions of which prints to choose and show you different size options, products, and collage ideas. i will keep you posted on the progress, but until then, ordering will remain online.

i'm also excited to now start offering fine art books! i'm hoping this will help solve the problem of having to pick certain images and leave others behind by allowing you to be able to have them all in one place for everyone to look at. i've got a few of them in the works and will post example pics for you to see soon. they are amazing and i can't wait to put them together for you!

the last thing that i'm excited to announce is my new rewards program. i am so thankful to each and every one of you that has passed my name on, and now i want to start giving back to you. starting today, if you pass my name on to 1 new client that books a session with me, you will receive a $20 credit. this can be applied to print orders or session fees. this is also unlimited...so the more people you send, the more you save!!

lastly, i do have a few changes to my pricing, so be sure to check out the 'pricing' section on my website. for those of you still waiting for your galleries for 2009 sessions or for those who have already scheduled in 2010, the previous pricing will still apply to you.

i will be busy working on the last of my 2009 sessions that were taken after the crazy, mad christmas rush, so keep an eye out on my blog. i will be posting some sneak peeks soon.

i am SO looking forward to this year....so here's to 2010!!
