An Honor!

The "D" family called just before Thanksgiving to try and sneak in a session over the holiday. She mentioned that "everyone" was in town. I didn't fully gather what that meant until they all showed up to the studio. Everyone had gathered to meet the newest member of the family. Grandparents were here from Hawaii. Auntie was visiting from Texas, and her hubby had come home on military leave from Afghanistan. This was truly a family reunion and I was completely honored to capture their short time together.




And I couldn't resist capturing a solo of this angel in the little hat she came in with!

Supporting the Community

Whenever I can I like to try and find ways to support the local community. When the plans started coming together for an outdoor area for the preschool my daughter attends, I suggested a fundraiser. The most recent fundraiser I did for them was mini-sessions in the park, which raised more than $200 for the outdoor area. Here are a few favorite shots from some of the families that attended.

Colorful Fun

I photographed this family a few weeks back. What a wonderful family, with five great kids! It was definitely a busy afternoon! Mom definitely gets bonus points for the great coordination of outfits. I can wait to see the wall design with new prints!

Fab Family Session

I met up with this family at the Edgefield McMenamins. One of my favorite photography destinations. The scenery is beautiful and divers, there is room for the kids to be kids, and fun places to eat at the end of the session. This family enjoyed all three. And I enjoyed them!

2010 Holiday Card Designs

For those of you interested in ordering Christmas Cards from your session here are new designs for this year. Colors and text can be edited. Of course old designs found on in the galleries on the main website are still available. When picking a card from the new bunch below just note the card # above the image when you order.

If you had a session earlier in the year that you would like to use an image from just let me know and I can help you through the process. Likewise if you have another design in mind let me know and I will work on making up a sample.

She's 2!

I have had the pleasure of photographing this little gem since she was just days old! I can't believe she is already 2. There was no such thing as the terrible two's at this session. She was so cooperative! Here's the proof :)

come beautiful babies.



This handsome little man was very cooperative! I love it when that happens. Thank you so much for having me to your your home. There is no better place to have a newborn session. All the baby supplies are at your finger tips. No one has to pack up to go anywhere. And mom and dad can do a little relaxing (think nap, shower, eat, or catch the game).

Ever since . . .

I've been waiting to do this









I don't post my own kiddos too often. But when they cooperate for mom this well, I just can't help it. Gavin 6 and Molly 4. I feel so lucky to have the two greatest kids!
