Sugar Baby…

October 23, 2008 – 4:08 pm

Sweet Colette came into the world last Monday, and on Wednesday was placed in our arms and became forever ours.  She is an absolute dream baby, both in spirit and temperament, and I had THE best time photographing my own little one.  Not unlike every other newborn I get to play with, she needed some persuasion to fall asleep. But once she was out, she let us do all sorts or crazy things to her…just take a look:

BIG HUGE THANKS to Ann of Ann Beck Photography for sending Coco this awesome little onesie.  It arrived *just* in time, and I think we’ll use at least one of these on her birth announcements.  It is so perfect!

(see? crazy.  our great dane Hannah is awesome with kids.  I think we’ll have to get this one BIG for our bedroom.)

And this, my friends, is why I look so harried and crazed these days.  If you see me around town or at school picking up the other two kids..just keep walking. We listed out all of the sessions that need to be edited in time for holiday cards and it’s over 30. The good news? I’m getting *really* good at editing pics with a baby over my shoulder.  That’s talent, people.

And you know what? I can’t imagine it any other way.  We are so blessed.

William…

October 20, 2008 – 11:32 pm

Mr. William is our newest baby planner.  Born last Friday, he was an absolute doll to play with today.  As my first session back after becoming a mommy of three, he and his brother were very kind to me ;)

I’m going to plead I Had a Long Day With a Long Night Ahead…and just post my favorite from today. I know William and Miguel’s parents understand. (besides, as fellow newborn parents, I have a sneaky suspicion that they’ll be up with me! ;) )

pssst! William! Thanks for missing me in the deluge from this morning!  I paid my dues yesterday.  Hope the DVD player survived ;)

Katie and Faith…

September 25, 2008 – 8:43 pm

Yesterday was our session with  this dynamic duo and their cute Mommy.  We first met this family last year, and their session was so meaningful. This year we had the chance to celebrate another year stronger, and the addition of their Mommy’s fiancee.

Of course, the girls are just as charismatic and spunky as ever!

Especially Faith…she really needs to work on coming out of her box and being less shy. ;)

Beautiful Katie just takes my breath away.

Newborn Jacie…

August 30, 2008 – 5:56 pm

I was lucky enough to be there 11 days ago when Jacie first entered the world, and today had the chance to visit her at home and photograph her newborn photos.  Newborns are seriously my favorite age.  I love knowing their quirks, and have a few tricks up my sleeve that help guarantee a quick and easy newborn session (well, as quick and easy as newborn sessions can possibly go!).

Jacie’s big brother Jarret had THE BEST laugh. It seriously cracks me up everytime.

I don’t usually bring ‘props’ of my own to sessions, preferring instead to use blankets, hats, and general stuff from around the house.  But I bought this last week and have been DYING to see what it looks like, and I’m happy to say that our baby girl (coming in October!) will be the most stylin’ newborn EVER.  Can’t you just eat this hat up with a spoon? (Not to mention the sweet pumpkin wearing it?)

Carly + Grant

July 22, 2008 – 12:18 pm

Carly and her big brother Grant (and her cute parents too, of course) took part in our Adoption Sunday session last week. We had such a great time in their home, and Carly was an absolute joy to be around. Let me tell you, this girl can talk! She started chattering when I walked in the door, and didn’t stop until I left

Carly was adopted from China at 19 months, and is now a busy, playful, *informative* five year old. She’s heading into Kindergarten in the Fall (like several little five year olds I know…*sniffle*), and this girlfriend is READY! She showed off some of her mad writing skillz…

Probably my favorite image from our session…Grant and Carly snuggled into bed, reading one of their favorite books (one of my favorites too…”Once there was a little boy…” (say it with me)).

Thanks guys for having me come out! (Carly-I still have my new ‘ring’ that you made for me…it makes me smile every time I look at it! Thank you again!)
