baby luke

i recently got to photograph the adorable baby luke near his 3 mo. birthday.













and i even got one with luke and his sweet mommy...



thanks luke for being such a little trooper!

the walkup family

the walkup family. my second family at the holiday wrap-up and i have to admit, this family is one of my favorite families on earth.

i mean, how can you not smile at this?


thanks walkup's for a fun session.

the garr family

the garr family. the first family during the holiday wrap-up and the family of my lovely assistant.

true, this was one of the most craziest shoots of the day but aren't these two cute??





thank you mrs. garr for helping me all day and for letting me take a sneek peek into your ever moving and ever smiling family. you guys are awesome!

john

i have always heard through various photographers that senior boys are the most difficult to photograph. that it is difficult to make them smile...



...it is difficult to make them pose [gasp! even with the family dog, ginger!]



well, that must not be true for the senior boys i have encountered and especially NOT true of john. he was so much fun and such a delight to photograph.



thank you john for letting me capture this time in your life. you are a dashing young man and i wish all the luck in the world.

the pfeuffer family

recently, i had the privilege of taking yet another set of photos for the pfeuffer family.

baby 'p' has literally grown up right before my eyes and my camera lens from maternity photos to newborn photos and now here he is at one year...







and even though, baby 'p' did not fully love our first photo session, he pulled around for round two which made the whole family happy...



and don't worry, mom and dad, i didn't forget about you either...



thank you pfeuffer family for your friendship and for having the faith in me to supply your home with lovely photographs.

holiday wrap-up

few spots are still available! call to reserve your place today!

fall

new shoes

parker

remember this baby, that was 2 months early, that i took photos of a year ago....



well, i took his photos again recently...



i cannot even tell you what a joy it is to see my friends and their little one doing so well. when i took this photo, i felt so much happiness for them... [and well, a bit of jealousy that i DO NOT have a good recent family photo but that is a different post!]



i mean, look at this little model....



even his little feet are adorable...



thank you bruce and ann for allowing me the opportunity to photograph your adorable family.

j.w.

j.w. is my newest friend but i can already tell she will be one of my dearest. we both have a great love and obsession for scrapbooking and for all things handmade.



j.w. is a great mom, an awesome cook, and a devout christian with a servant's heart.



so, when i got this new backdrop, i knew she would be the perfect person to call and be my model.



i am so glad i did.


thank you j.w. for being such a ray of creative sunshine in my life. your great!
