Cherry Blossoms!

So a couple weeks ago I was able to photograph a family in front of the cherry blossoms.  Honestly, this was not the best session ever - it had poured in the morning, so there was standing water everywhere; it was warm and humid, so my subjects were hot; and it was naptime, so there were a distinct few of us who would rather have been somewhere else. :)  But, the cherry blossoms were beautiful, we had a good time, and we enjoyed coming up with a few good images of this sweet family.

I love this one. :)

Mama and her boy

She wanted to hold the dead flowers. Who was I to argue?  :)

Double Trouble!

These precious little girls are some of my favorite subjects for portraits. The twins and their big sister are just precious, they have a great family, and the double trouble/double blessing certainly applies in this case! This set of photos was at the request of their grandma since she made the twins' dedication gowns and sister's pretty blue dress. We did part of our photographs at the butterfly garden by Cedar Grove Elementary, but when it got so hot we couldn't stand it, came back to the house to finish up the session. Hope you enjoy the preview, Kelly... they should be posted on the website tomorrow!

Angel of Grace

I was able to photograph this little angel just one week after his birth. I have been blessed to photograph each baby born to a girl in the House of Grace here, and this little guy was the last of them for me with our upcoming move. He was a perfect model, and such a beautiful baby! Thanks for allowing me to capture his early days for you. Enjoy the teaser before I get all your proofs posted!

This is my favorite image from the session:

But on the list of favorites, this one made us all laugh so hard it had to be another fave from the session:

First Blogged Portraits!

I had the opportunity today to photograph tiny Cheyenne and her big brother Chase (along with Mama and Nana!). This little baby has the most beautiful porcelain skin and big blue eyes - her brother's an adorably dimpled, tow-headed toddler who is all boy (and loves M&M's!). It was a pleasure taking photos for this beautiful family. Thank you for allowing me to capture some sweet moments. Here is a sneak peek of your portraits - they will be posted in a gallery soon!
