What Can I Say?

Wayyyyyy back when I don't remember looking this good in high school or being this trendy or even having an idea of what I was going to do when it was done?
This girl has it all going on!
She was a pleasure to work with and so well mannered. Mom you have done an awesome job raising a beautiful smart girl!!

A Love Like No Other

The love a mother has for her child is like no other.
" I look at him and I wonder what I was doing before" and " I can't talk about how happy I am or I might cry" These are the words of this new mommy and happy indeed is she!!
A beautiful boy came into this world just a few short days ago and her whole world has now changed for the better.
" I am so Blessed "
Yes she is!! A beautiful family has she!!
This little man had some trouble getting to settle and sleep but patience persevered!!
Enjoy the images!



In Grandpa's Hands

The Little Things

How did you spend your long weekend.
I had a couple of sessions and then relaxed the rest of the weekend.
We had contemplated going camping but called a campground Saturday afternoon and was told there were only 15 spots left and it was first come first served.
Well I wasn't going to waste gas driving out and risking being turned away. So I started calling hotels in the city as that is more my style of camping anyways lol.
But they were all booked too...hmmm
So Saturday evng we had a weenie roast in the backyard and a sleepover in the living room.
Sunday we went to a hotel in the city and had a blast.
I didn't even know this hotel existed in the city.


First we had supper at home and then off we went to the motel.
The kids and hubby went to the pool while mom hid by the table lol. But as soon as the pool cleared out came the kid in me and I swam around like a fish with the kids.
Then it was time to go back to the room and out came the buffet of junk food. This "diet" I am on is not going so well lol. I love my junk food a tad too much...
Oh well it was all in the spirit of fun!!
So what did you do for the long weekend?

Newborn Reshoot

One thing I definately do if things aren't right the first time is come back to make sure they are right the next time!
The lighting didn't work out well the first time we did the mom and babe shots so I came back to make it right and right it is! Beautiful captures of mom and babe!!
Also it was too sunny last time to do the front step shot but the conditions were perfect this time around!
Moving day was just weeks before the little one arrived so it is an added touch to have a brand new baby on the brand new steps!

Sunset Sweetness

There is nothing like the sweet light at sunset!
Add a perfect family into the mix and you can't go wrong.
Now the night before this session I took a few of my kids down to the same location to check out the lighting and there was no sweetness about it lol!
It truly is tough to get more than one child looking at the camera at the same time and everyone looking good but when you try to do this with your own kids look out!!
I was so happy with these kids as they were total sweethearts and listened and were so helpful throughout!
Thanks guys! Did you get your ice cream after??
Here is a sneak peek for mom and dad, I hope they love them!






This was my first of my Limited Edition Sunset Sessions and I hope that after others see how beautiful these images are they will book one for their children!!
Happy Long Weekend!

Promises of Love

As I drove to meet them it was clouding over and I thought YES!!
Cloud is a photographer's dream condition for portraits. But the sun found its way back and with the golden sunset we set out to do their engagement session.
It was a warm evening mixed with a cool breeze.But with each other to keep warm the evening set off in romantic fashion.
This couple will be my first wedding of 2008!
We managed to get to a couple of locations and worked against the sunset to get these beautiful images!
It's funny when you are at home inside the sunset seems to last forever but when it is a portrait session it seems like you are chasing after the sun saying don't go just yet!
I love it when couples are open to any ideas and then make them happen! Thanks guys for being carefree and fun!
I had a lot of fun and I hope they had fun too!
Enjoy the sneak peek!!

Memories of Us

In Style Magazine was the inspiration for this session!
J saw some mom and me images in the magazine and thought this would be the perfect gift for mom! Why buy another purse when we can have these images to last a lifetime!
So she came on my site and saw my Mothers Day Special and booked immediately.
What a fun time this session was!! They were up for anything !!
This session will always put a smile on my face!! Love you guys!!!
Now on to the sneak peek! There are a few more than usual because I want everyone else to see how great a session like this could be!
