Somehow, I still have seventeen mini sessions to blog from my last weekend of them.  For those clients who had a mini, who still never had theirs posted, I am terribly sorry–some years I lump many of them together, and perhaps that is what I should’ve done, since I had quite a few of them–and […]

I’ve been having a grand old time creating things for the little “shop” I opened for newborn photographers a couple of months ago.  While I started off making just hats at first, I’ve branched off into other things as well. . . pants and layering pieces for those photographers who want to have layers or […]

Most of you know that James and I took Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class last year.  For a full year, we’ve been working hard on doing a budget every month–right down to the last dollar–a zero-based budget is what it’s called.  Typically, I work on the budget for about an hour at the beginning of […]

It’s that time of year when Spring is finally almost here, and I have a bunch of family sessions lined up for when we finally get some mild weather.  I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new faces and am excited about the next couple of months!  One of the biggest concerns with clients is […]

Eve and her family make me so happy.  They are beautiful, and so kind and friendly–I really enjoyed my time with them.  They braved a very sloppy still winter but mild day.  Their actual session ended up being about five weeks after our original session date, but we had such a cold winter that we didn’t […]

The past few days have been filled with a variety of delicious restaurants that I’ve never been to.  We normally don’t go out to eat quite so much, but James and I went on a date, and the following day I had a Ladies Night Out.  James and I decided to be silly, so we […]

Carter is a wild man in almost all areas.  His personality is just bursting out of his little body.  One thing I’ve noticed is that his coloring is also wild, to match his personality.  He mainly just scribbles.  Like, he can fill up an entire page with scribbles.  I have a masterpiece hanging on my […]

I have a variety of props that I have available at every newborn session.  I quite honestly bring about ten times more stuff than I actually use.  But I never know the client’s style really, so I want to be sure that they have an adequate supply of different things to choose from.  Some people […]

One year ago, it was summer.  Not really, but we had a few days of seventy-five degree weather, giving us a break from the chill, and everyone went crazy–busting out the shorts and t-shirts.  The flip flops (me!).  We set up our trampoline–which was destroyed a few months later by the wind.  We had play […]

Graham has incredible newborn lips.  Perfect and plump and full of newborn goodness.  If you remember back awhile ago, we did a gender reveal with balloons for Graham’s parents, Sara and Rob .  And then we did a maternity session on a day in early winter that was brisk but turned out to be perfect.
