sweet babe

Welcome to the world, Baby Logan...you have made your beautiful family complete! May you all be blessed!
Love, Stacy

Jaclyn + Daniel = sweet

Clearly in love, these two just "fit." I adored watching them together...it's going to be one amazing wedding, I can feel it.

Welcome to the world, sweet, sleepy, cuddly baby Brooke. She was a dream to photograph and hold in my arms. I was thrilled to try out my new handmade cocoon and hat (gotta love etsy.com!) on such a beautiful baby girl. Congrats, Eddie, Christina & Bo...wishing you a Merry Christmas with your new blessing.

Recent Sessions...because I've been slacking on the bloggy blog!

First up, a gallery idea for Heather, Marion & Gabriel...I love this family and I can't wait to see how much Gabriel changes next year...he is such a doll baby. We first met when he was a few months old, now he is toddling around like crazy!






Erin & Brian...are like my old friends! This was their second annual Holiday Session and we had a blast...Brian even got a gold medal for being so wonderful with poses. Thanks, guys...see you next year!

Fun Tri-fold card!

Left click on this image to view it larger...I love this card!

We cannot know the grief
That men may borrow;
We cannot see the souls
Storm-swept by sorrow;
But love can shine upon the way
Today, tomorrow;
Let us be kind.
Upon the wheel of pain so many weary lives are broken,
So may our love with tender words be spoken.
Let us be kind.

The C family...featuring baby Levi

I had such fun with this family...smiles were so easy to capture from baby Levi, and their level of comfort in front of the camera just made magic! Thanks for a session that was so easy, so fun...a great reminder of why I started taking pictures of precious families. God Bless you guys!

Fun Photo of the Day

Love, Love, Love these pettiskirts. Thank you, Jen...can't wait to use all three colors!

I have pink, red and white...perfect for Valentine's Day pictures for the little girls who have stolen their Daddy's hearts!

sweet, sleepy Brooks

This little love just let us snap picture after picture while he slept peacefully away...and I had so much fun with my new prop. Congratulations, Selby family! Brooks is adorable and so cuddly!

The Ellis family = love

My favorite thing to capture is affection...the kind that comes naturally...the kind you see in these family photos:

What I am burning in my house right now:



Just had to share my favorite scent from Bath & Body Works with you. I love this scent, it is warm & inviting with just the right amount of sweetness in the air. The vanilla mixed with ginger is just a divine combination. I happened to get this candle 50% off because it is in the old packaging, from the fall line. Check the clearance racks this weekend!

fun with a bun in the oven!

Had a great time photographing the gorgeous Rodriguez family. Their love and affection is shining through every photograph, reminding me of why I started taking pictures in the first place.

Thanks for a wonderful session, guys...can't wait to meet baby Brooke!
