Ohhh…are you in for a treat!  I have known Nicole for a couple of years now, one of my first sessions was of her little girl Lily, who was not quite a year old at the time.  Now Nicole and her hubby Marty have expanded their family by one itty bitty little girl and OMG is she the sweetest thing!  I was so excited to be doing Grace’s pictures because, as you all know, I absolutely ADORE photographing newborns!  I was SOOO bummed though when I learned that Nicole went in to be induced…the very same day that I went away on vacation.  So instead of getting to see Grace in all her 4 or 5 day old sweetness, I had to postpone it until she was 11 days old. Oh boy, it didn’t make a bit of difference, she was as pretty as can be!  And such a DREAM to work with!!!

Isn’t she gorgeous?  That pretty olive PERFECT skin, pink lips…and that hair!  Ohhhh!!!

I even caught one or two of these pretty smiles…I knew she was saving them just for me.

I LOVE this shot!!

She slept almost the entire time.  Well, she slept when she wasn’t nursing.

I love this shot…every single time I take it.  I love how it always gets across just how perfectly tiny and round a newborn’s head is. <3 

One of my favorites!!

Mama didn’t want to be in any shots, so this was as close as we could get.  LOVE!!

Nicole and Marty…you have such a beautiful new baby that makes such a great addition to such a beautiful family that you have!  I have so enjoyed getting to know you guys and I thank you for giving me the honor of taking part of this special time in your lives.  God Bless!

I’m not feeling too well and it’s in the middle of the night, so just one teaser for tonight!!!  More coming soon of this beauty baby!

I don’t see these girls as much as I wish I did….these three are my cousins that live up north, and we FINALLY got together to do a sister’s session as a surprise for their mom for her birthday.  We drove back behind our grandparent’s house by the river and did the pictures there and I LOVE how they turned out, the lighting was just gorgeous, and so were my subjects.  

C is going back to college this fall, H is starting college this fall and I can’t believe how big E is, she has grown up so much in the past year!  As I was going through these photos I couldn’t believe how much H and E (the blondies) look like their mama!!!  C looks just like her daddy!  

Love you girls!!
Enjoy!

I recently had a session with Miss Lauren, who toted along her mom and dad along for some family pictures.  Meeting Lauren was SUCH a delight, she is one of THE most mature and precocious little 3 year olds I have ever met, she is just PRECIOUS!!!!  I loved every minute of being with her!!!  Mom and Dad were pretty awesome too  Miss L told me when she met me exactly how she was going to smile, she had me cracking up the whole session.

Meet Lauren….isn’t she a DOLL!?!?

Her outfit was exactly my style!!!  A hat and a TON of color, I LOVE!!!!  (and a tutu )

And this is Lauren’s family….you can see how she got her good lucks, huh?  Aren’t they all stunning?

Seriously….gor-GEOUS!

My fav…

I love this, little L was pretending like she was sleeping and it made such a sweet shot…

The light was AWESOME that night!!

Love this too! <3

Thanks for being patient with me guys!

**I have been on vacation for 10 days, so it is taking me a day or two to get my bearings back, LOL!  We had a great time, we celebrated Britton’s 2nd birthday and my grandpa’s 80th birthday…all in the same week!  I took a lot of pictures and will be back this week to share!  It is so great to go and spend so much time with my family, but I did miss my hubby and am glad to be back in my own bed.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Ireland again!  You may remember her sweet face from last December, she got her Christmas portraits done by me…you can see them HERE
Ireland brought along her whole family this time, including her mama and daddy, her auntie and Grammie and Papa!

Here she is……

And here she is with Mama and Daddy….aren’t they a beautiful family?

Grammie and Papa adore her….

And it’s easy to see why….

The whole family together….

And Grammie and Papa together.  Papa doesn’t like his picture taken but he did GREAT and Grammie looks beautiful.

We had to do some pictures of Auntie alone too, isn’t she gorgeous?

Sigh….I could just eat her right up!

I love these….Ireland was DONE with pictures way before we were…you can see her fighting it in this picture:

And then….she was off.  She wouldn’t crawl on the cement but she got around quite fine this way

And one more family picture because I can’t help myself!

Thank you so much K family, and thank you for being patient with me, I have had a few problems with my computer for the past two days and it’s been slow working the kinks out.  Your gallery will be up soon!
