Maternity preview

Another really fun maternity session - they were so nice, they tried a bunch of different things, and some of them I ended up loving! I think this soon-to-be mother is so beautiful, don't you? Just how I wish I looked when I'm pregnant. Her husband was great too - they're going to be amazing parents!

Princess Rose

When anyone sees her in this getup they always say "I hope you're taking pictures of this." She is my funniest child with dress-up. She has consented to wear her costume over the top of clothes, in order to be seasonally appropriate, which leads to even more eccentric combinations. She has a specific crown and a specific wand that go with this outfit, and she often wears the crown upside down like a visor. The shoes are called "the shoes that don't stay on" and they are favorites, but require her to walk extremely slowly. She would prefer to be called Rose when she wears this, and doesn't mind reminding you 250 times of that.

Family session preview

Here's a preview for this really nice family I met this week. Never have I used bubbles with greater success! :) I think half of their family pictures actually have the bubbles in the frame. Their cute little boy REALLY liked bubbles - in fact they'd brought their own, isn't that a good idea? He was a little slow to warm up to me until we got them out, and then it was all smiles. Love that!

The baby is 4 weeks old, which is usually too old for newborn-style pictures. But after a meal she settled right down and fell asleep in a basket - I was amazed! And she fell into a deep enough sleep where I could move her around, it was great. This was a great session - hope you enjoy the preview!

Family session giveaway reminder, and bows!

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted! I've been working like crazy on my website, orders, sessions, etc., and haven't been blogging. You'd think it was the end of November or something. :)

I've been getting questions about where I got my girls' beautiful bows. They're made by Chelsea Wagner of Lynney Bug's Bows and I very highly recommend them! They are so well done, really high quality. And what's best for me - she does sticky clippies so they will stay in my girls' fine fine hair. They love choosing every morning - sometimes they match, sometimes not. :) Anyway here are some pics, and if you're interested go to her website - great bows, great customer service.









I wanted to post a reminder about or family portraiture giveaway - nominate a friend or family member!

Maternity session preview

I've had a couple of maternity sessions lately and they have been so much fun! This beautiful mom is having a baby girl in the next few weeks (or hopefully sooner). I got to try some new things and I love how they turned out. And I'm excited - they are doing this session as part of my "Baby Expressions" plan, so I'll get to meet the newborn soon. Thanks for coming!

Baby preview

Last night was date night (we saw Avatar, wow, what an amazing visual show) - tonight is work night. :) Hopefully I'll get some sessions done in a very efficient fashion.

In the meantime, here's a preview for my great friend of her darling little baby girl. Four months old already - she has grown so much! Time goes fast for me when it's not even my baby. :)


I was hoping we'd get her "pirate look." Arrrrrr. My nephew has one of these too.
