It is always fun when families bring their dogs to their family photo sessions…especially when it’s a bulldog named Tiny. We headed to the local metropark and took advantage of a perfect summer morning to get these beautiful portraits.
These girls were so awesome and smiley and took direction so well – it was so easy! I love the middle picture below that shows J & S trying to get Tiny into position. Hysterical.

On a muggy mosquito-y summer morning, we headed to my favorite barn for a family session with these two cute kids and their parents. D was a little grumpy (and the bugs didn’t help!) but I still love this mini-stink face he’s giving me here. His big sister was so fun and loved being in front of the camera.

Thanks again, A & L for letting me photograph your beautiful family!

My littlest nephew celebrated his first birthday in July 2011. He enjoyed a snack of a stick while we took his pictures, and practiced his standing up skills. I just love his big cloth-diapered bottom…

I don’t normally do sneak peeks anymore (I’m too excited to get the whole gallery up for folks so the sneak peeks fall on my to do list) but I couldn’t resist posting just one from this session from last night.
I had a maternity session with some very special clients. C & A were my first wedding clients almost 1.5 years ago!
How fired up was I to have the honor of photographing this beautiful woman’s beautiful belly? She was the coolest bride at her wedding, and the coolest mama-to-be – I love taking her picture.
 
I can’t wait to meet little M in a couple of weeks! Congrats again :-)

Our dear neighbors asked me if I would be able to take family pictures up north at her parent’s lake house – it worked out that we were going to be near there over the July 4th holiday so we made a day out of it and enjoyed their lake and company…after we took care of picture business first!

One of my favorite things about photographing kids is watching them grow up every year. I took these boys’ pictures last fall, and was asked to come back this summer to get pictures with their sweet cousin. We took these pictures in their backyard – it is great to photograph little ones in their own environment!

Mom is one of my dear friends (part of the group I inherited when I met my husband!) and I was happy that she asked me to photograph her family. I am cracking up looking at these pictures here – because I always thought her son looked like her but this first picture it is amazing how much he looks like mom!!!



Thanks, S!

This cute little boy is one of my daughter’s classmates, and I was excited to take pictures of him & his big sister.
We did their session in their backyard, which has a stream running through it and was a gorgeous backdrop!
You gotta love the “pretend like you love each other” pose in this first picture ;-) Aren’t they so cute?



Thanks again, G & L!

This is from another surprise Father’s Day session last month. Mom wasn’t sure she would be able to keep it a secret until Father’s Day…and she was right. She ended up giving them to dad as a birthday present the week before Father’s Day :-)
Anyway – these kids were awesome. Big brother L was all business and was a perfect model, even trying to get his brother J to look and smile when he was supposed to. It was so funny.
And here they are – the handsome R boys!



Thanks, D, for letting me photograph your boys!

My first non-family session in the studio was this a-dor-able blue-eyed bundle of sweetness. I can’t really stand the blue eyes! She is just starting to crawl and was almost not interested in sitting still but luckily she wasn’t too mobile yet. Plus…I had my secret weapon…


My daughter wants to be my helper all the time. She was wonderful this session because baby E loved watching my M being silly!

B & E, thanks so much for bringing your precious girl over for me to practice!
