Booked for 2010

Good Morning to you all! Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous fall morning. I certainly am. Seriously, this weather makes my heart so happy! I’m all snuggled into my favorite sweater and sporting my new slipper/bootie things. (Picture Uggs but in uber comfy slipper form.) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, life is good. Anyway, I wanted to do a quick post and let you all know that I am full for the rest of the year. However, I do still have ONE spot left on 11/13 for a mini session in Woodstock. And of course, due to the time sensitive nature of newborns (under two weeks old), I always do my best to accommodate those sessions.

Oh and you know I couldn’t post without a pic, so here’s another sneak peek at my holiday cards. They are so fabulous this year! I can’t wait to show off all the awesome designs. Stay tuned to the blog, you won’t want to miss these. Have a great day!

Miss. K {class of 2011}

Tonight, I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Miss. K. Miss. K is beautiful inside and out and was such a natural in front of the camera. And speaking of inner beauty, she’s an avid reader and very interesting to chat with. She is planning to attend college for Egyptology. Isn’t that neat! Anyway, Miss. K it was pleasure meeting you and your parents. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Would you look at those eyes! And in case you are wondering, those are all hers. No Photoshop needed!

Isn’t she stunning!

The C Family {OpLove Session}

Last night I had an OpLove session with the C family. This was a pre-deployment session. Dad is getting ready to deploy in a few short weeks for 9 months. This family is no stranger to deployment as this is Dad’s second tour. Last time he was deployed when little man “K” was just a baby. And now Mom is due to have their second child in December. I am constantly amazed at the strength and courage these OpLove families have. I feel so fortunate to meet each and every family and to be able to give back something to show my gratitude for their sacrifice. My hope is these images will provide some comfort for them during this difficult time. Thanks again C family for a great session. Enjoy your sneak peek.

Meet the adorable Mr. K! This little guy is a ton of fun!
One of the whole adorable family

Love this sunset shot!

And the emotion here is so powerful!

Mine on Monday {8/31/10}

Administrator — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:30:57 +0000

Alright, I do realize it’s Tuesday but today is all my kiddos first day of school. Yes, you read that right, everyone! Emma started kindergarten and A&A started Pre-K. Let’s just say it’s been a rough morning for me. A&A both did great at drop off this morning. I’ll be picking them up and about an hour or so. Hopefully their morning went well too. They are in good hands with Emma’s preschool teachers so I’m not too worried. Emma on the other hand, I am a wreck about. Like seriously a nervous wreck! My stomach and head are both pounding. She started at the big school this morning and it was tough. We were not allowed in the building and she had to walk to her class by herself. Ugh, I’m crying just typing this… Gosh I hope her day is going well. Anyway, here’s a few pics I snapped of them this morning as were were heading out for school. Enjoy!

P.S. Sending big hugs to all the other mama’s going through the first day jitters too!

Mr. K {9 days old}

This morning I had a session with the sweetest little man, Mr. K and his parents. K was such a good baby for me. He slept like a champ, put up with all my posing and barely even fussed. Thank you guys for a fun morning. Here’s your sneak peek, I’ll be in touch soon with the rest. Enjoy!

Miss. A {Class of 2011}

Administrator — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 11:52:31 +0000

Good morning all, it’s looking like it’s going to be yet another fabulous day today. I got up early this morning to blog a few more pics of the gorgeous Miss. A from our session last night. Miss. A, is a beautiful girl inside and out. She’s planning to go to school for photography so as you can imagine we had lots of things to chat about and became instant friends. Anyway, I wanted to post her sneak peek for her before I head out to my newborn session this morning. Enjoy!

Miss. A’s favorite color is pink, so I had to share this one.

Here she is totally rocking the stare. I mean seriously, isn’t she gorgeous!

And I love this shot too, it’s soulful and sweet, just like her.

Flock of Seagulls

Administrator — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:52:45 +0000

Alright, I am literally just back from my amazing session with the the awesome Miss. A. We had the best time shooting her senior portraits at a local beach. Anyway, I had to post these pics to give you all little taste of the fun we just had. Picture this, we are on the beach, the sun is setting and we are shooting away, getting some fabulous shots, when a flock of seagulls that had been chilling on the beach decide to take off all at once and start flying all around us! It was so funny and you know me I’m all, “ahhhhhhhh let’s keep going”. Okay, I guess you had to be there. LOL! But here’s a peek at what I’m talking about. And to Miss. A, I promise to post your REAL sneak peek tomorrow. (They all look amazing, I have no idea how I will choose a few to show you, but I promise I will.) Thanks again, you were a blast to hang out with and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to meet you!

Miss. R {Class of 2011}

Administrator — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:39:19 +0000

Last night, I had a fun session with Miss. R and her family. We went to a local park where I had taken her sister’s senior pics a few years back. We thought it might be neat for mom to have the same shots of both girls. Plus, we did a few of all the siblings together, for mom too. Thanks guys, it was fun. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

And a pic for mom – here’s R, her sis B and their little brother J

Miss. A turns ONE!

Administrator — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:12:27 +0000

This morning I had the pleasure of photographing sweet Miss A again. You may remember her from her newborn session. I know I say it all the time, but seriously, one of my favorite parts of my job, is watching these precious kids grown up right before me. It’s such an honor to be a part of these families lives.

Anyway, I’m thinking Miss A. may be destined to be in front of the camera. She was such an easy newborn and we had a great session and today was no different. It took her a few minutes to warm up to me but then she was so into the camera. It was great! Seriously, I have TONS of awesome shots. I have no clue how I will ever narrow these down for her parents. LOL! Anyway, here’s a peek at the first two that caught my eye. Thanks again guys for having me. I’ll be in touch soon. Enjoy!

Miss A.- then as a newborn

Miss A. – now as a one year old

And one of the whole family.
