~Raleigh~ 15 days old

Finally! I was able to photograph miss Raleigh and her gorgeous mommy and daddy in their home. She fought hard against sleep, but alas, she gave in to my squishy, snuggly beanbag and space heater. And oh the sweet smiles I managed to capture! She smiled so much and so big! But here are a few from our session. It was hard to pick just a few to show off.

So here they are....

Just two.

Wanted to post, very quickly, two images of what I did this evening of my 15 year old cousin, Erica. She's growing up into a young woman. So pretty.

This is Owen. Just look at him! Doesn't he look like the Gerber baby? Seriously! From his beautiful blue eyes, to his lovely little mouth, to his soft & lightly fuzzed head. Just like the Gerber baby to me. And so happy!

Enjoy these awesome captures. I just love them! The first one was an idea courtesy of his mommy. So I brought along my helium tank and some balloons, and he had a field day with them!

.brand new.

A little taste of what I get to photograph very soon! Miss Raleigh came into this world 3 weeks early. I was also supposed to document her debut into this world but she decided to come on her own time--at 3:00 in the morning. Just 4 hours before I had to be at work. Her mommy and I work together in the Family Birth Center. She's so adorable!

She loves to stretch out. Arms and legs straight out!



Look at those legs!

Shelby {7 days new}

This is sweet little Shelby. At just under 6 pounds, she's a squishy, snuggly, sleepy little peanut! And she felt SO good to just hold her. She melts in your arms. Not a tense little muscle in her tiny body. I didn't want to put her down! And her mommy & daddy are quite smitten with her. Who can blame them? I wanted to take her home with me!

I love these images!

LeAnna ~Senior Session~

I had a blast doing LeAnna's senior pics. We started out indoors, doing some studio-style shots and then we headed downtown to Depot Street in Hartwell. There are lots of nooks and crannies with lots of texture and color and I can tell you we found them all! I have known LeAnna since she was 9 or 10 years old. It was such a privilege to be able to document the beautiful young woman she has become.

This sneak peek isn't posted in the order the images were taken.

Thanks, girl, for letting me do this session for you! Go ahead--Brag your heart out. You've got the BEST senior pics of anyone you know. Ha!

p.s. I know I spelled your name wrong, but I am HORRIBLE with names! I've never had to spell your name out!

Enjoy!





LeAnna with her mom Sandy. I know where she gets her good looks from!

Three Times Blessed!

Meet Jack, Gabe & Isabella. I had the privilege of photographing their births back in March. Their mommy's due date isn't even for another 6 more days! I've been patiently waiting for the timing to be just right for these little bundles of joy so that I could do their newborn session. They weren't in the NICU for any time at all (Jack & Isabella for 2 1/2 weeks and Gabe for a little more than 3 weeks) and were sent home as healthy as can be. They are so so soooooooo precious!

What a blessing! Here's a sneak peek for you guys! And Jill--I've said it once and I'll say it a million times more--You are BEAUTIFUL!!! You DO NOT look like you just gave birth to triplets!







Miss Isabella...She looks thrilled to pieces, doesn't she?

It's Been Awhile...

It's been quite a long time since I put my sweet little Ashlyn in front of my camera--studio-style. I can tell you this: Confining a toddler to a small space and then expecting them to pose this way and that is almost irrational. Yet when I asked her if I could take her picture wearing angel wings, SHE SAID YES! I was able to photograph her for all of 10 minutes and she was through. Once you look through these, you'll see her booboo face. At that point she was finished. No, these aren't posted in the order they were taken. I just wanted to post them. :o)

But nevertheless, I just love my little Ashlyn. I've been so emotional about her lately. She'll be 4 years old in a couple of months and then starting preschool in the fall. I have that knot in my throat right now as I type this out. I don't want my little girl to grow up. As her mother, I am so proud of her. Of the little person is becoming. My sweet little angel.
