little baby bump

At the time of these pictures Lisa was just starting to show. We didn't even know if her little bump was a boy or a girl yet. Normally I wouldn't do a maternity shoot so early in the pregnancy but I've decided to do things a little different and photograph her baby belly as it grows. Plus we just happen to share the same last name and I'm pretty excited about this little baby and can't wait to love on him.

Kaleigh

Don't get me wrong...I love to photograph the little ones. However this past weekend I stepped out of my comfort zone a little. It's been a while sense I've had a teen photo session. I forgot how much fun they can be. Kaleigh was attending her final cotillion dance that evening and not only was she absolutely stunning she was a joy to work with. I had a lot of fun and have been inspired to add a "teen" gallery to my website. Keep an eye out for that and enjoy this sneak peak.

Belly Love

I'd like to start off by saying that this daddy-to-be deserves an award. Despite being sick he showed up to the shoot and didn't complain once. His dedication paid off and we got some amazing pictures of his beautiful wife and her even more adorable baby belly. I can not wait to photograph their little one in just a few short weeks. Here are just a few of the pictures from that day.

Sisters

Two babies...Two bellies....equals one awesome photo shoot. This was my first photo session with sisters and I was a little unsure of how to handle it. But once I got there and we got down to business, everything just flowed. I think it helped that these are two of the sweetest sisters I know and just happen to be some of my very good friends. I really had a great time spending the morning with them and their mama. I can't wait to meet (and photograph) the new additions to their family's .To respect their privacy I'm only going to post pics of their baby bumps. Enjoy....

Sakari

This little ones name means "sweet" and let me just say... that is exactly what she is. From the moment I walked in the door she was all smiles. Her cuteness is beyond words. I will let her pictures speak for themselves. Simple and sweet.

Elise

Always a pleasure to photograph Miss. Elise. Even with the beginnings of a cold she was content and adorable. And I must say she had one of the most beautiful baptism dresses I've ever seen. I look forward to taking more pictures of her as she grows. Here is just a sample of the beautiful pictures we got that day.

Forever one of my favorites

It has been a rough week. I have tons of things to do but can't seem to concentrate on any of it. That's because Mr. Jackson John is now sitting in the lap of Jesus. I don't think I can express in this blog just how much that child has done for me. His family has given me more then they probable realize. His pictures are just as precious to me as they are to them. and with out their encouragement I wouldn't even have this blog. I have been photographing Jackson sinse he was fresh from the oven! He was to be my first "year in the life" baby, however even though we didn't get to that year, We did get some wonderful pictures of that beautiful blue eyed baby boy. Here are just a few of those pics from the past 6 months starting with the most recent. I wish I could upload them all. Jackson John will forever be one of my favorites.
