Okay, I promised I’d post more… Here is that sweet baby girl I met this weekend!


Oh man… I sure loved holding her! She was a doll…

Look at those cheeks!




Hi Baby Girl! Wide-awake!


Got everyone smiling–even Miss K!

Thank you S Family! Congratulations on your new baby girl. It was a pleasure meeting you all and I can’t wait to watch Miss K grow up over this next year. I’ll be in touch when your proofs are ready and then I’ll be seeing you in 3 months!

Thursday Threads…

So I thought I’d start doing a post on Thursdays with an idea of outfits for your shoot. I always have people asking me what I recommend and I came across some great ideas recently so why not share them with you all.

So this weeks’ Thursday Threads is…


So there you have it… Some of these items may not be available anymore, but they should have something similar and this will give you a good idea of what to look for. Hope that helps!

    Jill, These pics are so good!! I wish you could have been mine and Casey's wedding photographer. Ours was so terrible that I didn't order one pic from her.
    The wedding pics on the boat were amazing too!!

Princess W

Yesterday I met a new princess for an awesome family… Love definitely exudes from this family to each other and you can tell. Everyone was so cooperative; including big brother who helped me with my backdrop a couple of times. I’d say it was a very pleasant session–loved it!

Meet Miss W… She’s something special. Not only is she the girl after two boys in this family, she is the 1st girl in a really, really, long time…



So tiny… She was just under 7 lbs. when she was born.

Red Sox fan in the making!

A smile!

And another… she liked my white blanket!

I know this one is pretty similar to the previous one, but I love the hot pink and her sweet lips in this one.

Her adorable room…

All curled up! Keep a watch on this bow… We’re going to watch her grow into it over the next year! Can’t wait. We have so many ideas already!

Proud brothers…

Daddy’s Little Girl… Just wait daddy!

Mommy’s Princess

One happy family and it shows!

Thank you N family! I enjoyed every minute of our session. You have been blessed with a wonderful family and a precious new baby girl!

**Be sure to scroll down to see a couple of other new posts from this weekend… A ‘Stunning’ Bride and then a Beautiful Wedding!

What they are saying…

I thought it might be fun to share some of the emails I’ve gotten lately. I really enjoy love what I do and to hear your comments makes it even more worthwhile.

Here is what they’re saying:

  • The pictures and the canvas are just BEAUTIFUL!!! I can’t wait for ‘my husband’ to see them. Thanks so much!
  • Oh great thanks! Oh my goodness everyone loves them!! Great job!! 🙂
  • Yes! You did an awesome job.
  • We got the pictures today and they look FABULOUS!!!
  • I hope thing things are going well! We have been keeping up with your work, and continue to be impressed! I can’t tell you the number of compliments that we STILL get on his 9 day old photos. We’ll definitely have to work together again.
  • We love all of the pictures of C and H that you have posted so far! I can’t wait to see more! I wanted so badly to show off the pictures at school to my teacher friends this week, but my school e-mail blocks anything with “blog” or “face book” in the address.

These are just a sampling of what you all have been telling me this past week. I really appreciate it. I’m honored to be chosen as your families’ photographer to capture these moments and can’t wait until the next session.

Out of touch…

Random blog here…

So this past week, a few of us were challenged to ‘leave’ Facebook for a week. Just a way to give ourselves time to concentrate on those things that are sometimes neglected or not given as much attention. I have to admit that I was reluctant because I use FB for business purposes too.

Well, today is about half way through our challenge and so far it’s going pretty well. I’m kind of feeling out of touch though. LOL! For example, one of my mini baby planners was scheduled to have her baby on Friday–well, I’m sure she had her, but I really don’t know any details… Then, another friend’s baby is in the hospital getting better to come home, but at this point, I really don’t know where she is today… Oh and if anyone’s birthday was this weekend–oops! Sorry, I missed writing on your wall.

I guess when I get back on there (this Thursday), I’ll probably have several things to catch up on and share… Like Saturday was Caleb’s birthday and our friend made him a great cake. It was so fun! And today is our anniversary–12 years! Wow! Am I really old enough to have been married for that long? I guess so!

Well, I better get back to work… Sorry, but this will be a picture-less post! I am behind on proofing, need to place a couple orders, make a few one year books and have a wedding coming up on Friday. Woo! A wedding… For the bridal I did last weekend. Can’t wait! I’m sure it’ll be beautiful. Plus I’ll get to share the sneak peek soon in addition to the bridals too.

Have a great week!

**Couple more things real quick… Still looking for Senior Reps–contact me soon! Holiday Mini Sessions are almost full–don’t miss out!

Time for school…

Wow! Summer is over (well, not temperature wise), but summer vacation is over. I cannot believe it! I think what I can’t believe more than that is that I have a 3rd grader and a kindergartener. Wow! My girls are getting so big… I still remember bringing them home from the hospital.

Here is how our morning went…

My school girls!

Haidyn’s 1st day of Kindergarten…

Maddie’s 1st day of 3rd grade…

Going into the classroom.

So pretty!

My three kiddos!

Ready for some fun stuff!

Going into her classroom…

Gorgeous girl!

Hard at work already!

Girls–I hope you have a fantastic 1st day of school. I can’t wait to see what you learn and watch you grow over this next year. I love you two! ~Mommy
