Getting back into the swing of things...

I want to thank all of you for being so patient and concerned in my time of loss. These last two weeks have been difficult, but seeing how awesome my clients are makes me feel blessed. I'll be working hard this week to get those pending sessions posted, emails and phone calls returned, and orders processed. There's much to be done! I'll leave you with a few from a session I had this morning with Miss Adriana. She gets baptized on the 10th of April. Aren't her cheeks absolutely delicious? I swear I almost bit a chunk out of her during our session. ;)

Growing Together...

I was recently reading the blog of a photographer who often inspires me, Sarah Ulrich, and she wrote about her desire to capture more families. I think her post just says it perfectly so I won't try to recreate. I'll just share it with you:

I, too, vow to capture the love in your family, to showcase your home so that others may catch a glimpse of who you really are, and help you create a lasting memory time will never erase. With that, I leave you with images of two recent beautiful families and with a quote that means more to me today than it ever has...

"Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.”

and I'll add that you can never recreate the present so stop wasting time and take every measure to preserve it!!!

Only Good Fortune...

is what I desire for you this St. Patrick's Day! I'm no macro shooter by any shot, but I came across this little patch of clovers and I couldn't resist. I've been a little down lately and being able to work on this was a breath of fresh air. I wish us all the luck of the Irish. Go out and have a green beer!!!!

Teeny Tiny Princesses...

How lucky was I this Saturday? I got to hold and capture not one, but two precious newborn girls! Miss Luna Victoria was 8 days old and Miss Kaylee was 10 days old. They were both like play dough in my hands, I just love this age! Funny how even though these sessions were back to back, I didn't repeat the same background or prop. I was so excited to get so much variety and I kinda knew what the mommies would like. I can't wait to get started on their birth announcements!!! Enjoy your sneak peeks. Get ready for image overload!!!

Those Beautiful Eyelashes...

My goodness Miss Emma is precious! She's got a soul-searching stare. She started out with some coy smiles and then little by little started laughing and clapping and having a good ol' time! It helped that Mommy and I were singing fools throughout the entire session. Thank you "Music Together"!!! Here's another family I've had the pleasure of knowing for quite some time. I got to witness their nuptials when I was pregnant with my first born. I literally was about to pop, dancing in those crazy high heels I rarely wear today, LOL! I'm so glad to see what joy Miss Emma brings to their lives. Parenthood is something, isn't it? Well, enjoy the extensive sneak peek. Can you tell how difficult it was for me to narrow down my favorites?

Like Porcelain...

I absolutely LOVE Miss Amanda's baptismal gown! She looks like a little porcelain doll with her bonnet. I love all her different expressions with those beautiful eyes. Here's a peek at some really great shots we were able to capture of her...
