Nathan







Little tiny Nathan came to me when he was 8 days old. Mom and dad called from the hospital to set up his newborn session and I'm so glad they did. He is just so precious and I bet he's changed already since coming home- that's why newborn portraits are so important. I kick myself that I do have professional portraits of my children at this awe-inspiring age.

We're Back~






After what seemed like forever, I have my computer kinks worked out and I'm back online.

I appreciate your patience for those of you who are patiently awaiting your galleries and sneak peeks. I've been working diligently to try to get caught up- and here is one of the little cuties I'm editing now. Brayden has the brightest blue eyes and he is a beautiful baby boy!

Thank you!

Buster and Sassy











Ok, those are just my nicknames for this brother-sister duo~but I think it's right on.
Jonah just grew up in no time flat and Marissa is there to try to keep him in line. It's not easy being the only sister with 3 brothers..a girl's gotta have a little sassiness!

Kelby's Creation


Kelby's mini-session was a joy. She was a little slow to warm up (so unlike Kelby!) but she soon turned on her smile and her charm and modeled her new hair do for me. I really enjoy photographing her and watching her change. I can still remember her 3 month portraits with all her beautiful dark hair!

Custom Creations




Here are a couple custom creation collages from a recent session with a handsome young man with a penchant for golf and his 2 year old sister who was a beauty, albeit, not so interested in having her portraits created that day. I think mom will be surprised what I captured though.

Brother Sister Team











Here is a brother sister team that kept me on the move! Ethan is just starting out his modeling career...ok, not really, but I think I see a future in modeling for him. It's a little rare to see a 4 year old so cooperative and he sure has the look of America's next top model. I could have taken his picture all day. I love the curly hair and the pensive looks. His sister is 7 months old and you know I love that age- but boy did she keep me on the move. Her big blue eyes and pretty blue dress were just perfect for the art blend I created.

6 month Beauty







Hard to believe these 6 months have gone so fast....Little Miss A is getting so big and looking more and more like big brother all the time. Here a just a few of my favorites from her session.

Where does time go?











Taking children's portraits really does make time go fast. I remember when my daughter was a colicky infant and every time someone said, 'they grown up too fast" I wanted to strangle them. (not fast enough was all I could think). When I get the opportunity to do portraits for a family with young children, I really can remember can say that time flies...it seem like just a few months ago when Renae came to me as a TEENY tiny baby and now she is a very active 18 month old with a mind of her own! But despite her agenda, I think we captured some fantastic memories.




I think the close up art crop is becoming a signature of mine lately. I can't help it! I love the way the whole focus is on the eyes and it just shouts personality. And I really love that rarely any one is asking me if I meant to crop the top of their head off. (yes...I meant to do that!).
