Pin ItI can’t believe this session has been sitting on my hard drive for months just waiting to be blogged. How could I forget to do such a thing? Seriously, one of the funnest sessions to date with beautiful, hysterical sisters. Well, you’ll see from the images just how  full of joy and happiness they are. So, we were in the car driving to the intended location for this shoot and low and behold I see out the car window this amazing patch of light and dried grasses on an overgrown rail track. Luckily mom trusted me enough to turn the car around and pull over when I started screaming hysterically, “THERE! THERE! We need to shoot THERE!”. What makes this session even more special is how much I love their mom, my friend, and my coworker. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this job? And now, on to the giggles…

Disclaimer for concerned parties (the railroad tracks are not in service and the road used was free from traffic…phew…calmed some worries I hope)

A little patriotic post today as a reminder of how lucky we are to be free. I often think of how children live in other countries and the constant control and danger they are subjected to on a daily basis. Being able to raise our children in a free society is a luxury that not all experience and we owe it all to the men and women throughout the years who have sacrificed their time and lives to make that possible. Disclaimer on the use of the flag: Yes, I am fully aware of American Flag Etiquette. I chose to use the flag respectfully in the name of personal, artistic freedom.
Happy Independence Day!

What is so great about lifestyle shoots? Well…shooting families in their own surroundings with all that is important to them is pretty awesome. So is the fact that this is where they make their memories and where the walls radiate with laughter. It is such an honor to be able to step into a home where all this magic happens and try to capture their world as it is, if only for a few hours. That and I get to hold a beautiful new baby and play silly games with a spunky toddler. It doesn’t get much better than this. Come on over here to see this family’s maternity session and enjoy their story!
I am really loving having families pose in front of their home for a few shots. I remember looking at really old images of my great grandparents holding a new baby on the porch and it is such a classic memory to have of a moment in time.

I know, I know…more baby feet images. I can’t help it…I love them so.
And….2 seconds later. Hey, it happens. Babies cry.I think she sees me.Be still my heart.
These boots were made for cuddling…and that’s just what they’ll do…Makes me want to jump in the picture and cuddle too.This is the look of, “Ut oh, I think my life just changed”.Hellooooo down there little thing!I have a feeling this little lady is on to me. Congratulations on creating a little piece of perfection!
