Calm and sleepy Cora

I had so much fun photographing this beautiful baby.  At three weeks old, I was a little nervous about her sleeping the whole time, but she proved me wrong!  She was perfect and it was so fun to see those chubby cheeks and full beautiful lips!  She was a delight, as were her mom and family:) Thanks Alisha for a great session and letting photography the newest member of your family!

I'm back!

Wow!  What a year so far.  I have completely neglected this poor blog...but let's face it, sometimes we just need a break from time to time!  I have gladly been focusing on my beautiful family and home and am very proud to announce that we have an addition coming into the family in July!  We couldn't be happier and are loving thinking of all kinds of names...It's amazing how opinionated my little four year is on what she likes and doesn't like as far as names go:)  Here's my munchkin at four at her bday party in November.  I am most inspired by real life raw unplanned/semi planned moments.  Granted I did ask her to come outside with me so I could take pictures of her, but I love her random expressions and her little (okay big!) personality shine through! (And I LOVE these in black and white!)

The "C" Family

I had a great time with this family.  I took these before the holidays for Christmas cards.  I'm so happy with how they turned out!  Not to mention they are a beautiful family with great choice in clothing!  We went to a local vineyard for the tail end of our session and just I love the fall colors:)

Growing, Growing

Little Miss Avonlea is now 9 months!  I can't believe how fast they grow:)  You can see more of this little beauty here and here.  It was so much fun seeing all of her cuteness and visiting with her mom and dad.  It was a really cold day, but this little one was all happy and smiles! 

Baby Elijah

This little sweetheart did such a wonderful job!  At 13 days old, he was a chubby little guy and I loved every inch of it!  It was a great session with lots of smiles:)  And that hair, it was definitely my favorite!  Thanks guys for a fun morning!

back in business....

....Wow, it's been a while, huh?!  Wrapping up last year with work and Christmas ended up being a crazy adventure.  I'm glad to start a new year with a fresh new outlook.  I did break my December rule for a little newborn baby that I couldn't resist.  Meet Beckham.  This little beauty is a great addition to his cute little family!

wrapping it up

'Tis the season to wrap up work and wrap oodles of presents!  Here is the last family I shot for the season.  What a way to end this year's sessions.  I love this cute little family and enjoyed our quite chilly session together!
