Remember this little beauty boy?

That is Grayson, not quite six months ago.

Look who showed up for a mini session….

And lets not forget about big sister Mia….

Then…

And now….

Little W was such a sweet and happy boy! Look at all of his expressions…he’s full of them! And…have you seen such a handsome little boy? His eyes are amazing!

I will be trying to attempt catching up on my blogging…so keep checking back for more updates!

This past July I traveled to my home town and did two different nights of mini sessions. It was SO much fun! I saw old high school friends and met their beautiful children and also met some new people as well. It was hot hot hot…but so worth it. The kids were all so sweet and well behaved….and just….well….beautiful. Take a look for yourself.

P.S. If you are interested in FALL Mini Sessions…please take a look at the session details. This is an awesome deal, and I only offer them (locally) once a year. Only a couple spots left, they are booking fast.

Just really quick…wanted to post a preview of what I am working on right this second!

A week and a half ago, I got a voicemail from Stephanie, who was just slightly overdue with baby Ethan, calmly stating that her water just broke.  I excitedly ran out to Justin, informing him that I would be leaving soon, to photograph the birth of Stephanie and Mike’s third child.  We began to make plans and arrangements for the children, in case I was not to be back home yet in the morning by the time it was ready to get Ava on the bus.

I called Stephanie back and spoke with Mike, her husband who said nothing much was happening and he would let me know when they were headed to the hospital.  So I hung up, laid clothes out, gathered camera gear, and anxiously paced the floors.

Eventually I went to bed, but could hardly sleep, just knowing my phone would ring any second.

I woke the next morning at 7 panicked thinking I missed the birth, or God forbid, something was wrong and text-ed Stephanie…who promptly replied that labor had stalled and they would be starting pitocin soon.  I was so relieved to hear that everything was okay but a bit anxious for her to get the ball rolling, I mean seriously!  (totally KIDDING here )

Finally around 2:30 that afternoon I got the call to come.  I quietly took photos of Stephanie laboring, who–by the way–is amazing.  She not once had any pain medication and bore right through those pitocin contractions like a champion, so proud of her!  I helped when I was needed but I mostly tried to stay out of the way.  Stephanie’s husband Mike, his sister, and a doula all helped Steph when needed. It was such a nice, quiet, intimate birth and everything about it was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and awe-some.  I feel so privileged for being invited to record those moments.  Baby Ethan was born just before 6 pm, almost 25 hours after Stephanie’s water broke.  He was perfect in every way.

Stephanie and Mike…thank you so much and God Bless you!

I recently had the privaledge of going to the “D” family home to do photos of G & M.  Such a fun session!  The kids did SO good, and Mr. D even introduced me to an awesome new phot spot   I am just thrilled with the way this session turned out…way too many favorites to choose from, so this is a nice big share!

Thank you so much for having me come and play with your kiddos.  Make sure to have your friends and family check out this post and leave a little blog comment down below.  30 comments (from unique email addresses) will get you a 5×7 on me…50 will get you an 8×10!  Enjoy! <3

Thank you for stopping by!

Just a quick note:  October is almost completely booked up.  If you would like photos done for holidays, I do reccomend scheduling quickly.  I will not be booking sessions between December 1, 2010 and January 1, 2011 except for maternity and newborns/baby planners due to the holidays.  If you have won or purchased a session this year, you have until November 30 to complete the session.  Sessions won/purchased of this year will not be honored after the new year. Thank you for your understanding!

Ahh!  Another post in such a short time?!  What is wrong with this picture!?

Saturday I went to the home of this brand new baby boy and spent some time with him and his lovely family. Baby E is all boy and is just as handsome as his two older brothers.  I will be posting more soon.  Nicole…enjoy your preview of your beautiful boy!

Just a quick peek at what I did Monday evening.  Aren’t they breathtaking?

More to come soon.
