Sweet baby Willow

Baby photo shoots are typically just hang out sessions for me.  We get the little one all cozy and happy, shoot for a couple of minutes until they fuss and then mama cuddles baby until we are cozy again.  I get to spend a lot of time just hanging out visiting.... I'm in my element.  This session was no exception.  This little one performed beautifully and let us play with her, and I had plenty of time to chat and get to know this wonderful family.

This session was a little different because we also went to the park.  That's not typical for me, but we had previously scheduled a maternity family session that we could just never have happen.  All the forces of weather and illness were against us.  But on this day we finally had success.  I love the sweet spirit of this gentle family.  They are a connected couple.... you can see it in their pictures when they look at each other.  So sweet.  Enjoy these images of this very lovely family...

The babies are growing!

These sweet little babies are growing so quickly.  My neighbor graciously allowed us to visit her deck this week and we saw these two cuties!  They are so cautious and really never venture out of one corner of the yard.  They did, however, venture out just enough for me to get them together.  The mother pops back every now and again to visit her babies.  Too cute!

Oh Dear, I mean deer

I happened upon this little wonder in my neighbor's yard today.  It was truly by accident.  I scared the poor thing as I was spraying my yard with a hose.  Just on the other side of the fence this teeny baby deer was curled up.  The water spray startled this little deer into a sprint across the yard. My son and I explored just a bit to find this little guy curled up behind a tree.  We left him alone so his mama would find him when she returns.  What a little miracle.

May Senior

This very sweet girl and I had a few adventurous days working on her senior portrait session.  The first day we were rained out part way through, but the next meeting day was a full success. The result of a two day shoot was a much fuller variety.  Loved it.  It's always fun to visit with teens and find out who they are.  This session did not disappoint.  I so enjoyed getting to know her.  Please enjoy the images of this beautiful girl with a very bright future.

The most beautiful little flower in the garden

I spent a lovely morning with this very sweet two year old searching for flowers.  And while the flowers were beautiful, spending the time with this precious darling was really the highlight of the garden.  It's fun watching the curiousness of toddler-hood as they explore and study this amazing world of ours.

I met this little bundle of joy on a cool winter morning.  It was cold outside but warm and cozy in the sunny, indoor spot where we did our session.  Its always fun working with little cuties like this one.  I have a special spot for those little toes.  Take a look at her image below with the little tushie and the pink tutu.  Absolutely adorable!  It was fun visiting with this family.  Even grandma was there enjoying the new arrival.

A performer in the making

This sweet girly has a special yearning... for a life in the theater.  I love her enthusiastic spirit and zest for her passion.  It's truly fun to watch someone shine and sparkle when they talk about something they love.  Musicals are the thing for this talented young lady and I wish her all the best on her endeavors!
