Infant Session: Rory

Met up with a great client of mine last week to take some newborn pics of her little girl. Normally, I take newborn pics at the client's home, but this particular Mom wanted to get outside and take advantage of all that great natural light! So one quick trip to the Arboretum later and we have some really great newborn pics!

Of course, we had to get Big Brother John in on the fun. He is already such a sweet and caring Big Brother. I can remember taking his infant pics when he was just a little older than his little sister. How time flys!

We thought we were done for the day, however, while we were leaving we passed another row of the gorgeous pumpkins on display at the Arboretum right now. We hadn't intended on this being a "fall" shoot, but we just couldn't resist having some fun with these fall wonders.

Happy Fall everyone!

2008 Christmas Special

Yes, I know it's September. But have you been to Hobby Lobby lately? Christmas is here folks, and you can never take these pics too early. So here is a little flyer explaining my 2008 Christmas Special. Sessions are booking fast, so reserve yours ASAP!! I love this time of year!

Infant Session: Jacob

Took photos of little baby Jacob last week. His mom was a referral, so it was great getting to meet her and take pictures of her precious newborn. I took husband/assistant along and he was happy to see all of the stuffed monkey's that adorned little J's bookshelves. Evidently Jacob's dad bought him a stuffed monkey when they found out they were pregnant, and the monkeys just kept coming!

The session started out like so many infant sessions do. A few moments of tranquility...

...followed by some fusiness. Modeling is hard y'all!

Then after a quick feed and some soothing...sweet sleep.

Maternity Session: Jen

Recently took some maternity pics of a good friend. And as I write this, little baby Camille has already made her way into this world! Matt and I swung by the hospital to pay a visit, and let me assure you, she will fit into this beautiful family quite nicely! I've been taking pictures of Big Sister Ellie ever since she was a little baby, so it's a pleasure to watch her grow up into such a beautiful, silly little girl. Congratulations you guys!
