Last week I spent the morning with such a wonderful family! As soon as I walked in I felt so welcomed – I felt like I had known them forever.  It’s always so exciting to me when I get to share in the first few memories of a new family as they welcome their newest blessing.  Watching the love siblings have for this new baby, watching parents watch their kids, watching the gift they all embrace together is such an honor.  This family was no exception – it really was a beautiful thing.

One of the best parts of this session was watching the way Rowan and Kyla are the best of friends.  They actually really reminded me of my two kids!  We spent some time reading books and telling stories and then we headed outside for a few games of Red-light — Green-light!  It didn’t take long for the two of them to catch on and before I knew it they were too quick for me.  Then we headed in and I got some quiet time with sweet baby Maeve.  Lauren and Mike were saying how she hadn’t been that awake, ever!  That is always the way isn’t it – when we want them to sleep they are awake and when we want them to be awake they are asleep!  The three kiddos were so great – I loved getting to spend time with each of them. With sweet faces like these, how can you blame me!

and one more makes three..

can you hear the giggle!?

Lauren and Mike – it was so great to meet your family! I can’t wait to be in touch when the rest of your gallery is ready

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of meeting the nephew of one of my best college girlfriends, Kristen’s. There is no greater honor than my friends passing along my name to share in family memories of those who they love. A few months ago Kristen purchased a gift certificate for a newborn session as their baby shower gift (**NOTE!!!!  WE LOVE GIVING GIFT CERTIFICATES for gifts!! Its the gift of memories — way better than an outfit, right?!)  Anyways, Last week Kristen’s brother Erich and his wife Emilie emailed me to say their new little tiny blessing had arrived.  Lucky for me I had just picked up a few new newborn props I was dying to use!  The little pint of peanuts was a dream! He didn’t make a peep for almost he entire session – He let me move him around, change out blankets, switch props with only one break for a feeding and I think he is the first newborn that didn’t pee on anything! Way to go kid – that’s impressive!

Here are a few favorites from the morning..

Right on cue! Second click of the day and this is what I got

Erich and Emilie – Thank you for sharing your new little blessing with me.  He is beautiful and picked incredible parents.  We will be in touch soon when the rest of your gallery is ready!

Much Love,

Just when you are starting to wonder what to get for all those wonderful men in your life for Father’s Day,  I am excited to announce a Father’s Day mini session!  This is a perfect session if you’re looking for a few beautiful updated pictures of the kids for Dad’s office, Grandpa’s wallet or even just for the house!  These mini sessions includes 30 minutes of shooting time,  (2) 8×10’s (3) 5×7’s and (8) wallets. If you would prefer Dad or Grandpa be in the session we have gift certificates available as well!  Please contact Keri for details.

**Session must be booked before June 20, 2010.

I was lucky enough to meet this family two years ago. When they made the jump from three, to four. Just a few weeks ago they made the jump again, from four to five little blessings.  I cant’ believe how fast they are growing up.  It is an honor and a priviledge to watch my clients families grow up right in front of my eyes and my camera.  Just one of the gazillion reasons I love my job.  I am blessed.

Thank you for sharing your morning with me Heney’s!  As always it was fantastic — Looking forward to seeing you again soon!
