Ethan and Zach






These two gave me a run for my money.....TWO times the fun were these twin boys.

They were on the go and one the move but I am quite happy especially with the shots I got of the two of them together- just being brothers. Sibling shots are rarely easy- but with a little psychology and patience I think I captured the mischief in their eyes. What handsome
boys they are!

Studio Closing and Order Deadlines

Just a reminder: Our studio will be closed October 20-29th.
If you are in the process of placing and order and do so by October 12- I will do my best to have it available for pick-up prior to our closing. Thank you!

Jordan


Football is Jordan's thing. He loves it- and the season is coming to an end, so it was the perfect time to schedule a mini-session to capture his love of the game!

Olivia





Olivia is nearly one month old- and still tiny and squishy for what I call the "bendy' images. It seems like once a baby hits the one month mark they are just a little less cooperative to oblige those types of poses---so I always encourage people to book those newborn sessions early!

Olivia did wonderfully.

When I tell mom's to get in the picture- they usually are less than enthusiastic. I remember those days of little sleep and functioning in survival mode. Getting your portrait taken isn't high on your list of things to do--but these days are so special. I really wish I had just one picture of myself with my children when they were this teeny tiny and all I wanted to do was hold them close. I told mom the image would be great- despite what she was worried about...mommy hair, no make up, etc. Couldn't be more beautiful. Don't you agree?

Adam and Alex








I couldn't be more pleased with how Adam and Alex's portraits came out. Alex is an active little guy and so I knew I'd have to move quickly- the whole session probably lasted 20 minutes before Alex had had enough of it--and big brother was a great helper as well. I hope mom will love the outcome. I couldn't resist posting some of Alex's cute expressions in this sneak peek.


What a ham.

It was a pleasure photographing Mary Lou and Magdelene for their annual Christmas Session.

I love their matching red dresses. It's always humbling to me when people come from a distance when there are many photographers out there to choose from. Thank you! I enjoy seeing the girls grow and change.

Adam





Meet Adam. Happy, smiley and so adorable. His mother has gotten all three of her boys' portraits taken in an heirloom outfit worn by their father and grandfather in their portraits- so it is pretty special. It doesn't seem that long ago that I did brother Ryan's portraits in the same outfit. I think it's a pretty neat tradition and I bet those wall portraits look pretty cool side-by-side. Besides the heirloom romper- we had a lot of fun with some shots with his favorite toy duck (or is it a goose) and some overalls and hat. (So classic boy!)
