What a morning! These twins are just over a year old and they are ON THE MOVE!! Their parents are amazing, so patient and fun. These are a few preview pictures from the gallery I’m working on. I hope you enjoy!

We couldn’t even contain them on the chair!

Oh the lollipops! Brother shed some tears over this, but, in the end we still got some really cute pictures. They immediately broke both of the lollipops – so there were little pieces of candy all over the floor – but Mom and Dad didn’t mind – they were up for the challenge.

I just did an engagement session for my sister-in-law. She’s getting married in October and we had lots of fun taking pictures (and sweating to death) in the park! I’m not finished going through the pictures, but I picked a couple of my favorites to post… you can click on the picture for a better view.

I love the light, and the moment….


And of course, a fun one!

And lastly, the traditional portrait…. so sweet!

Well, I decided to go ahead and post a few of the Holiday Card Templates that I have created. There will be more – and I’m open to ideas! I’m trying to make sure that there is a variety of styles and colors – something for everyone! I know it seems early, but the fall is filling up quickly, so please contact me soon if you want to do pictures and holiday cards with me. I will need to have sessions done by the first week of December so I can create and order the cards and have them to you for sending.

These are all 5×7 templates that can be used as a photo card (one sided) or a folded greeting card. Prices start at $35.00 per 25 cards if you use an available template. If you would like a custom design, pricing may be more. I will also be offering “volume” pricing for those of you that want to make your own cards and insert a picture. Pricing will start at $35.00 for 25 prints (4×6 or smaller / one image choice). For anyone out there that has done a recent session and would like to order holiday cards with a picture from your session – let me know!

Well, I’m finally caught up on my galleries for clients – soooo I had to work on family pictures! The fun never ends! This is my niece – she was visiting with Nana for the weekend and it was her 8th birthday. The last one is my favorite – my daughter LOVES her cousin. They were glued together most of the time.

Just got back from a fun session with this little one. Ahhh, the innocent eyes of a child – don’t they just say it all! This little sweety is 9 months old and she has TWIN big brothers that are almost 4. Can’t wait to photograph them all together!

I did a QUICK scan of the pictures and picked a few favorites. Enjoy!

I actually got to shoot wedding pictures without the pressure of a WEDDING! This beautiful couple asked me to do some “post” wedding pictures for them since they weren’t completely satisfied with how their original wedding pictures turned out. They are so relaxed and cute together – we had a really nice time. And a little secret – this lovely lady is part of the reason I went “pro” with my photography business. I took pictures of their family before I was sure that I could REALLY be a photographer – and she really loved the pictures – so here I am!!

Thanks for getting all dressed up again – and for trusting me to take your special pictures. Here’s a few of my favorites!

I’m still working on some galleries that need to get done – the never-ending “digital darkroom”. But, I thought I would post a couple cute “snapshots” of my baby….

Evenings at our house are usually full of “monkey business” with Dad. He is Kylie’s favorite toy – as you can see by the t-shirt. She absolutely LOVES to wrestle with Dad and do flips over the top of him – it’s really quite a hoot to watch!


And bath time – oh so sweet! She loves to lay down in the bath and try to drink the water – GROSS! I try to discourage her but that only makes her do it more. This is the look I get when I say – “don’t drink the water – yucky!”

I had a wonderful session today with these four. This little baby didn’t cry ONCE during the entire session! Everyone was so happy and fun. Dad was great – very patient – look at him surrounded by all the beautiful girls! Enjoy your sneak peak!

Okay, I couldn’t help myself – aren’t they sweet?!

This was my first official engagement session and these two were a DELIGHT to work with. It was really hot outside but they smiled and played along with everything I wanted them to do. THANKS for being so much fun! I hope you enjoy your pics – and congrats on your upcoming wedding — in Mexico!!!
