Lilly

Love the flower names! This is Lilly. Apparently, she has a cousin that's a few months older named Violet. Too cute! You can't
beat growing a flower garden, I say. Lilly was a great little model. She did a wonderful job of giving us all emotions!

Lindsay and Owen

You may remember a few short weeks ago, I did a maternity session with Lindsay. This is Owen and family! Lindsay and her Hubby like a certain special effect that I use in post-processing called "green". It gives the images a darker, richer feel. I like it too! Very fun and fine art-ish! We even got a good shot of one of the family hounds, always an added bonus!! In case you don't know me very well, I love animals! If you ever hire me for a session in your home and have pets, you will likely end up with some portraits of them as well. After all, they are a part of the family too!

Trip to warmth!

A few weeks ago, we went to Florida to see my family. It's always interesting when we go, because I find myself always trying to
decide if I should lug along all my camera equipment, or just settle for a point and shoot. This time I did bring almost everything, but told myself I would not obsess with taking photographs and just relax with my family. YOu photographers
out there know exactly what I'm talking about...living life, instead of always trying to capture it every minute! I did pretty good
for most of the week...just took family photos, etc. casually enjoying my time..Until my Husband and I went to the airport a little too early. We decided to go outside (to soak in all the warm air, before heading back North) and wait... That's when I spotted him! His eyes were amazing! His beak, magnificent! Ok, my Hubby is pretty cute, too! I followed this poor bird around the parking lot, until he stopped in front of the yellow taxi for a fun portrait!

Amy and Jordan

I feel so honored that I get to shoot this couple's wedding in September. They are both such
nifty individuals. I know they will be unstoppable as a couple. They are just too stink'in smart, funny, and
cute! Which is why I added so many of their images to the blog. It was just too much fun not to share! Thanks
Amy and Jordan for a fun day.

Lindsay's maternity images

Wow. It's been a very long time since I last posted anything. Winter is tough around here sometimes. Hard to not let the
grey days get to ya. Spring is just around the corner, with all of it's life and growth! Which brings me to this post. These are some images from a maternity session with Lindsay. She was so calm and so laid back...I know she'll be an awesome Mom.

Baby Cole

I hope this entry finds everyone happy and well rested from the holidays! ha. I laugh, because sometimes, if you are like me, I need a special vacation after the holidays to recoup. Seriously, we had a good one with lots of fun and laughs. I hope you did too!!
Meet little Cole. He is two weeks old and, wow, what a great little one to photograph. He really did well for such a youngster.
As you can see, he slept a lot and really posed well for us! He is so cute...just had to share.

family session with the Stovalls

I had so much fun doing a session with the Stovall family. What's really cool is that Julie and I went to high school together, were college roommates, and had lost touch for many years until this past summer at our 20 year reunion. I know..... I'm dating myself! It is so great being in touch with her again and getting to meet her beautiful family! We had a gorgeous day at Springfield Lake. They were real troopers, as we did quite a lot of hill work!
