Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a great holiday season!! I enjoyed some family time and much needed R&R. As much as you can have when hosting family, cooking, shopping, wrapping, having the kids home from school and the normal hustle that comes along with the holidays:)

I am excited January and the new year is here! I started off my photography season last week when I met this precious little boy. He arrived just 2 days before Christmas. What a sweet baby! Just adorable and I feel so lucky to be able to capture this special time. I think we got some fantastic shots and picking just a few was nearly impossible. Here are a few highlights from the day.

That's a Wrap

I am posting my final holiday session of 2011. What a great and busy season it has been! Thank you to all of my fabulous new and returning clients. It was an honor to document your families this year:)

My final session was this adorable boy. Eighteen months and on his own mission. This is the third time I have photographed him but the first time on his feet:) Gotta love it when they have their own agenda. Often some of favorite images are those dictated by the kids. These sessions keep me on toes and make the great shots all that more exciting. Enjoy a few shots that made me smile this week!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope that you all have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday today! It is always nice to have a day filled with family, food, fun and football:) I am on my way for a few days of R&R and had to post a few highlights from my session last week. After 2 rain outs we finally got the session in:) Mom and I were beginning to wonder if it was going to happen. But this day mother nature was on our side. A bit chilly but no problem for these adorable kids.

Thanks "M" family for a fun shoot. Enjoy a few sneak peaks from our session. Hope you have a wonderful holiday and look forward to sharing your gallery next week.

Plan B

Well sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. After deciding on what would be the right spot for the shoot, the universe had different plans for the day. Got a call from mom about the time our shoot was to begin that their car had died on the way to the session. The kids are dressed, dogs in the car, it was a beautiful day and getting another date on the calendar would have been difficult as we worked hard to come up with this one. So Mom said we are getting a ride home, we are going to have to do it at our house.

What I absolutely love and makes me smile even as I write this entry, Mom says the moment I step out of the car, well there is your blog story:) Love the sense of humor even in what was a stressful time. Well sometimes things don't go as planned but maybe for the better. I know they were worried about if their yard was a good spot to take pictures. But I love some of the shots we got at home. The park would have been great but this time our Plan B was as good as it gets.

Jessica and Danielle

The majority of my sessions these days are with children which I love. But it is always a fun change for me to spend some time photographing young adults . Especially two as pretty as these ladies! I am fortunate as this is the third time I have had the opportunity. It doesn't seem possible but they just keep getting prettier and prettier:) Both in college now and doing so great!

Thanks ladies for coming back to see me:) So fun to catch up, meet the dog, boyfriend and hear all about school. We got some great ones and I look forward to sharing the gallery next week. Here are a few sneak peaks.

When Wardrobe Meets Location

I am busy at work getting all of my holiday sessions shot and processed. We have been so lucky with warm shooting days and lots of fall color. Hard to believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner. My kids asked me this morning why we don't have any Thanksgiving decorations around the house? My typical response these days....mommy is getting to it:)

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family about a week ago. They were so laid back and easy going. Made the process so relaxing and fun. Just loved this little girl's skirt and denim jacket. It was a perfect compliment to our location. Gotta love it when that happens:)

Thanks "M" family for a great session. Enjoy a few highlights from the day!

Fall Is In the Air

Fall is in the air and holiday sessions are in full swing. People are always asking me when booking sessions this time of year, when is peak leaf season. Well it is now. It varies a week give or take around Halloween. But those that picked this week are benefiting from the color.

I am so glad to have this family back again this year. It is always a treat to share photography with clients that love and appreciate the process. Mom loves taking pictures and makes annual photos a priority on her to do list. I hope you love your sneak peak. It was great to spend the time with you and I am excited to share your first look. Enjoy:)
