The last time I photographed this little girl she was brand new. I just have such a hard time believing how fast time goes and these little ones are confirmation of that. They are dear to my heart and I treasure watching them grow

Shooting in the studio is so fun for me, the  natural light pouring in is so good to me and there is something to be said for knowing the space well. I am a lucky girl. Families like this don’t hurt the process either

You might remember this couple that I photographed a few month ago.  Their little man has arrived and something tells me he is pretty loved.

He was more tolerant than he had a right to be when his mom and I oh so carefully placed him in his dad’s racing helmet. He was actually quite comfortable in there. It has been such a pleasure getting to know their family and I can’t wait to watch him grow.

I have decided that with the new blog site will also come a little different approach to blogging. I will still feature recent sessions but I will also be adding in a little more of “me” in between. I am an extremely open person, most often wearing my heart on my sleeve and I share who I am with the world whole heartedly, so why not show a little more of that here. After all, my business is very personal to me so it seems perfectly fitting.

Today I want to talk a little bit about my girlfriends. You know who you are. You get me through the day with your skypes, phone calls, random text messages and if I am lucky a lunch date. You have laughed with me, cried with me, encouraged me and given me a good old fashioned, in your face, hard to swallow dose of reality when I need it. And even when I haven’t talked to you in ages we pick right back up where we left off  like no time has passed. I know that I would not be where I am or who I am without you in my life and for that I am eternally grateful.

Speaking of friends, a couple weeks back I got an email from the folks at NAPCP, The National Association of Professional Portrait Photographers. They are an amazing resource for photographers like myself and also have a wonderful blog for parents! They asked if I would be willing to feature one of my posts on their blog and of course I said YES! It was particularly flattering since the post they wanted to use happens to be one of my very dear friends.

I am so beyind thrilled to present my new blog site! My amazing friends at Luxecetera did it again. I swear they know me so well that the very first design they showed me was perfect! Take some time to look around, I filled the galleries with brand new images (although this wasn’t hard to do since I hadn’t updated the images in my old site in ages). I am also excited to have my blog and web site in one place; what a beautiful thing! Thank you Luxecetera, I love you!!! xoxoxo

I will be out of the studio until June 22nd teaching a photography workshop. I will be checking voicemails and emails frequently. I will be sharing photos from my trip when I return and am so excited to meet all the budding photographers who will be attending the workshop. If you have an order to pick up, you can do so through the Petite Elite baby. Their store hours are listed on their website.

And because a post without a photo is like peanut butter without jelly I leave you with this picture I recently got of my kiddos at the beach…..

I had the privelage of photographing these beautiful twins recently. I met their mom and dad about a month before their arrival and knew instantly that they were special people. They waited for their little miracles for quite some time and I am so happy for them. What an amazing family they are.

Both sessions were shot in the studio using the beautiful natural light that I have fallen in love with. Having a space to offer shoots where the light is predictable and so lovely and my clients can lounge on the couch and relax is a dream come true. What a great time I had with you all, thank you for trusting me with your perfect baby girl.

Jaime started out as a client three years ago when I photographed her first pregnancy and we were fast friends. So of course I am honored to get to photograph her second pregnancy as well. And this time it’s a baby girl! She was also my model for something I am working on for the new web site that is coming soon! Isn’t she gorgeous?! Oh and did I mention she is one of the nicest, funniest most genuine people I know?? Sorry, I know you want to hate her but it’s just impossible.
