Last September, I took some maternity portraits for my cousin Catrina. Almost a year later, we revisited the scene of the ‘crime’ to take some “my first halloween” pictures with her son, Reed! I am partially bias, I admit, but I swear, he is the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. And this turkey …
It’s a very strange thing to see my baby brother prepare to be married. But he met his match and they are in it for the long haul. To start off the celebrating we had a shower for them at my mothers house. Cake, babies, presents & family. You can’t get much better than that! …
Allison wanted to get some family portraits of her, her husband & her brother done for their mom’s birthday. Her husbands sister just happened to be up for the weekend and came along for the ‘ride’ – we met at the beach and knocked these out before sunset. When I was a freshman in high …
When I was 7, I had a friend forced upon me. My grandmother & her mother worked together and were great friends. We wee girls were the same age, we had similar interests in reading, piano & singing, and wasn’t it just the cutest thing that her name was Alissa – oh the similarities. Including …
Rachel is graced with amazing friends and family – when I first met with her and her mom, her mom asked if I would take pictures at the shower also, and I was happy to. Little did I know what a gorgeous affair it would turn out to be! Every detail was stunning, including the …
Gabrielle & I met when I was in 8th grade and she was in 7th. We lost touch over the years, but reconnected a few years back via the wonders of the internet. A licensed esthetician & cosmetologist, Gabrielle has started her own venture Escape Artists Mobile Spa and wondered if I might be up …
It seems like it’s been FOREVER since I took Catrina’s maternity portraits – 2 weeks over due and finally, the baby boy has arrived! 12.13.2007 – He’s beautiful and sparkling.
Tim & Allison are good friends of ours who spent the fall trying to close on their new condo. Finally succeeding the week before Thanksgiving we’ve been helping them out moving and cleaning and painting and packing. Finally all in and ready to think about Christmas cards they asked if I could come over and …
It seems I’ve come full circle – Last year, this family was my first “real shoot” and it seems I did well enough to be called upon again. We had a much nicer day this year and were able to make it to the location we had to give up on last year. …
An old friend of mine, who I chat with occasionally online, asked if I could come and take some pictures of her youngest son as he approached his second birthday. With a day of rain prior ruining our initial plan, we opted to meet up in her front yard after all was dry and let …
