Weekdays there are a few more openings. If you are needing to do a session for the holidays, for cards, for gifts...please don't wait to call and book. I am filling up very quickly, and get inquiries every day.

Sisters

These two little girls were too cute yesterday. The older sister, "M", loves the camera and is not shy at all! She told me I was silly, which is a great compliment from a 5 year old! The younger sister, "C", is a bit more reserved, I think she has a very old soul in a 3 year old's body. They did tell me the shoot was fun - yea! and they loved the petti's. This shot I'm showing here is a "to die" for shot...the one you always hope you get in a session. I love everything about it...their body language, their expressions, the lighting was awesome in that spot. It's just a sweet moment in the lives of two sisters.

Happy Birthday Girl

Had a session on Friday with "A" and today is her 4th birthday, so have a great Doodlebop party! I asked if I could come but I'm thinking I may be too old to be a Doodlebop...oh well!

A's mom outfitted her in a beautiful fall colored dress that I wish I could wear, it was gorgeous! "A" kept working a pose for me...she did admit she wanted to be an actress when she grew up!

We put her in the petti towards the end and that's when the really big smiles came out...she loved twirling in it, this petti has been the best investment I've ever made! The girls love it...makes them feel princess-like I think!

"What is Love?" - 4 to 8 year olds' answers

When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love. -Rebecca, age 8

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. - Billy, age 4

Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen. -Bobby, age 7

Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.
-Tommy, age 6

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

Snips and Snails...oh you know the rest!

Love, love, love how this family dressed! They really "got" it...the clothing they wore is timeless and classic yet hip and trendy at the same time. It all coordinates well and definitely matched the fall colors we had at the park. So kuddos to them on doing a great job on picking what to wear for their photo session!

Now these two little guys are just adorable. And I don't think I've ever seen eyes as big as the little one has here...they are so, so big! And of course he's got the long eyelashes to go with them...why is it the little boys always get the long eyelashes? B and R were so much fun...we did some photos by the pond and did some of the more posed shots then went and played in the playground! I know I had fun and I'm pretty sure they did!

Little Pebbles

I photographed this little girl and her mom and dad on Saturday and as I was editing the images I realized who she reminds me of...Pebbles from the Flintstones...that'd be a great costume for this Halloween! Same red hair and the little piggy on top...cute! I'm a sucker for little girls with pigtails every time!

She wasn't walking yet, and wanted nothing to do with standing up for the most part...but man, she was a speedy crawler! And being a girl, she knew what she wanted and we got along just fine as long as I let her lead the way...which I call "Toddler Papparazzi"...that's what I love best anyway, just letting the kids be themselves and follow their lead, capturing the moments that turn into the memories.

Mom, dad and grandma...here's a quick peek while I finish getting the gallery put up!
