I am about to show way too many pictures but I loved this session! Ella and Emma were so cute and had such expressive faces, I really enjoyed working with them. It’s rare I get kid sessions this time of year and wow, I love them! I’d be thrilled if more families scheduled kid sessions throughout the year instead of just at Christmas time.
I have had some super adorable one year olds lately! I photographed all of these sweeties as newborns and in the last few weeks they were all back for birthday pictures. Enjoy Max, Cruz, Tyler, and Riley!
I shot Madelyn with her sweet brother Collin for her newborn pictures and some sibling pictures about a year and a half ago. Then she was a perfect sleepy newborn, now Madelyn is a fiesty little toddler! Collin is just as sweet now as he was then. Madelyn gave us a run for it but it was a super fun shoot and I’m so happy with the final result. Enjoy~
Meet sweet 8 month old Georgie! What a lovely girl, Georgie was funny, happy, sweet and so full of personality I just wanted to keep her :) Enjoy~
This will be a first for me, I have never offered mini sessions! I have finally come to the realization that I am only one person and I have to find a way to streamline to accommodate all of the clients wanting holiday card sessions. It will be considerably less expensive for you and faster for me, more amazing pictures of more amazing clients. So here they are, my brand new once a year only mini sessions:
*** $499 includes sitting fee, your choice of 5 full resolution digital files, and 25 double sided 5 x 7 flat Christmas cards with the option to add on additional cards, digital files, and products at a discount.
*** Sessions will be held Saturday November 12th and Saturday December 3rd, sessions will be 20–30 minutes here at the studio. All sessions will be shot on gray and white backgrounds. Due to the length of the sessions individual shots of family members, props, extended families, and newborns are excluded. Wardrobe should be kept very simple to insure the focus is on your family connection. Please e-mail me as soon as possible to book, spaces are limited.
A special thank you to the Katambwa and Glover families for being my mini session guinea pigs. These are the types of photos you can expect from your holiday mini session, enjoy~
If you read my blog you know I’m a blubbering mess when my baby planners graduate. Juliana I’ve been following since she was in utero, we photographed her as a newborn, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and did an anniversary session for her parents, what a year! This slideshow isn’t so much a baby story as it is a family story… get a tissue :) Juliana’s year ended with an outdoor family shoot that’s one of my favorite outdoor family sessions ever, feels like it almost needs it’s own blog post so be sure to watch through to the end of her sideshow for those images.
Meet Gemma and Malek along with their mom and dad, aren’t they the sweetest? 4 months and 19 months isn’t the easiest sibling combination ever but I’m super happy with what we got, doesn’t hurt that they are both adorable :) Enjoy~
This is a very special newborn session, one it seems like I waited forever for! Meet my friend Janet and her lovely family. Janet’s son Zack was premature, born at just 31 weeks gestation. He is a happy and healthy boy now but spent months in the NICU and has suffered many health effects related to his prematurity. Last year Janet became pregnant again but her little girl Corrine was born at just 23 weeks, too early to survive. Corrine lived for just 30 minutes. You can imagine the excitement and panic when Janet realized she was pregnant again, with fraternal twins! Every week we all counted down, it was a long and scary road. There were months of bedrest, weeks of hospitalization, medical procedures to try and maintain the pregnancy. We all breathed a sigh of relief when she passed the week she lost Corrine, another when she reached 28 weeks and survival rates went up, another when she passed Zack’s gestation! Every week Janet’s friends got a bit giddier, how far could she go? By sheer will and determination and some amazing medical care the girl made it 37 weeks, delivering FULL TERM HEALTHY TWINS. Last week when we shot the twins newborn session several times we all just stepped back to look at them and cried… and now I’m crying again. What a miracle to watch unfold. A cause that is near and dear to Janet’s heart is the March of Dimes, doing the hard work everyday to prevent prematurity and support the families of premature babies.

You may remember Jackson’s pretty mom from her maternity session a few months ago. Well her little man arrived right on schedule. Jackson is just gorgeous and a joy to those around him! We continue to pray for a speedy recovery for Jackson’s dad who was critically injured in a motorcycle accident last December. He continues to improve and hopes are he can return home to his family very soon.
Meet 9 day old Anderson, he was such a sleepy, gorgeous boy! You may remember his parents from their maternity session earlier in the summer. We had a great time and I’m just in love with his pictures. Enjoy.
