Just one day old~

I love photographing babies, especially when they are *so* fresh and brand new. Meet C. who was just one day old when I got to meet her at the hospital.




She has the most wonderful, protective and loving big brother I may have ever seen; it was beautiful.




Safe in Daddy's arms...



Welcome to the world, baby girl, you are loved.

Might as well *JUMP*!

A really fun session with these four great kids:
First, the little jumpers:





Then, the big jumpers:





Not only did we have lots of fun wearing out the furniture (thanks Mom & Dad!) I got some great shots showing their beautiful faces (and great personalities!) as well...








I'll let you know as soon as the rest of your gallery is ready. Thanks again, and great to meet you all!

Final reminder about Holiday Orders!

It is hard to believe how fast the holidays are approaching! To ensure you will have cards available in time to send out for the holidays, and for prints for holiday gifts, for guaranteed holiday delivery: ALL ORDERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 15TH.
Thanks so much for your understanding and your business this year. I've loved working with each family and am truly appreciative that you chose me to photograph your children.
Thank you!

Sneak a peek at beautiful baby A.~

Another beautiful blue eyed baby! Baby A. is one of those babies I looked at and I just KNEW my camera was going to love her. :)

She has equally lovely parents, who seemed to have such a great time playing with her.


I just loved the warmth and interaction of this one...is there anything better than hugs from Mom? :)


Just a really charming family, so nice to meet you T & V! I'll have the rest of your gallery up soon for you. Thanks so much!
