M & M Engagement

What an amazing night for an engagement shoot! Can I tell you how big a sucker I am for young love or can you see on your own? The weather was perfect, the light was gorgeous and the couple, well they couldn't possibly have been any more photogenic. This couple is near and dear to me as the bride was my youngest's kindergarten teacher and he asks at least once a week if he can please go back to her class.

These next few were taken in my new secret favorite place. The mosquitoes and small patches of poison ivy were a bit of a challenge, but that absolutely awesome light made it all worth it. Wasn't it so nice for God to produce a sunset like this one just for me?

The C Family

This terrific family came to see me this evening with two of the sweetest blue-eyed children. Little Miss Charlotte had absolutely no interest in taking a nap, but that was ok given that she was in great spirits the whole time and Mr. Grant certainly made Megan work for her allowance. I love having her around when I work, she is so great with little kids.

Yes, there were more of him smiling, but I just loved the mood of this one. Such attitude!

Say it with me now, awwwwwe...

Princess Emma

Can you tell that I don't think there is anything sweeter than a newborn baby? Ten day old Emma was just so cuddly and sweet and strong too. It won't be long before she's up an running! But at least for today, after a quick feeding, rocking and sweet lullabies from her mommy, she was sleeping soundly for her very first photo shoot.

I love baby Liam

Sweet Mr. Liam was only 5 days old when we did his newborn pictures and he couldn't possibly have been an easier baby. He slept like a rock pretty much the entire session and let me do whatever I pleased. After you see the pictures, you'll agree. There isn't anything else I can say but I *big puffy heart* baby Liam.

Fall Babies

Please excuse my blog absence lately. With a child sick with something the doctor couldn't figure out and a hubby having knee surgery, the last several weeks have been a bit of a mess around here. The good news is that although I haven't been posting much, I have absolutely been shooting away! My first little fall princess is the darling Miss Peyton whom is showcased quite a bit on this blog. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get her adorable piggy costume, but we did succeed in getting great pics of her other Halloween wardrobe choices!
I can always count on Payton's mom to bring in tons of fabulous clothes!

Next up is little Miss Hayley in her hot chili pepper costume. She was completely enthralled by all the candy and I have no doubt that she will be a champion trick-or-treater when she sets a little bit older.

She absolutely looooves to play on her back.

I LOVE PUMPKIN BABIES!!!

My total favorite, right here. I just love this image to pieces!

A big thank-you to my fall moms were waiting so patiently for their sneak peeks and proofs but more for bringing your sweet little ones to see me so often. I love so much being able to watch them grow and change.

Holiday Rollback Special for November

All you hear on the news lately is job losses, pay cuts and bad news and believe me, I get it. In light of these tough times, I am going to be offering a huge holiday special for the month of November in the hopes that in the wake of this economy, folks don't forgo those family portraits that mark the season. Interested? You should be! So DON'T WAIT to contact me for details, space is limited and sessions will go VERY QUICKLY!

One Very Special Little Girl

I can't believe this little princess is more than a year old! It's been way too long since I've seen her and now she's about to be a big sister too. Wow! Audrey is such an amazing little girl with a terrific laugh and a spirit that takes your heart and runs away with it. I am truly honored to be trusted with capturing that spirit and I hope all my blog readers can see what love and mischief hide behind those baby blues. You are always in my heart, Audrey, right along with your mom and dad who love you so much.
