Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our family to yours.  May you be filled with the joy of all things wonderful–of love, and family, and Jesus . . . of giving and receiving, and friends and tidings of good cheer. I will be taking a little blogging break during this holiday season.  Blessings to you […]

It’s rare that I don’t meet a bride and groom until their wedding day anymore, but about three minutes before their First Look was the first time I shook Tim’s hand, and it wasn’t until after the First Look was over that I introduced myself to Stephanie.  It didn’t take long for me to learn […]

I sat down specifically in the place where he told me to.  Not one to the left.  And not one to the right (well, then I would’ve been sitting on his teacher’s lap).  He pointed it out and said, “sit right there!  so you can be across from me”.  So I plopped my behind down […]

Little Lilah decided to join this world so early that we didn’t even get to do her momma’s maternity session.  The week we were scheduled for the session, she decided she wanted to try to come out.  It was much too early. . . her momma was able to hang on to her a little […]

Perhaps I lost count somewhere, and I think I’m a day off, but today I just took my 349th daily picture of the year. . . well, I guess it wasn’t actually the 349th that I’ve taken since I’ve missed a few.  But you get the point.  That’s a lot of days.  And you know? […]

This family is all sorts of adorable.  I’ve been photographing them for a few years now, and it’s like a little reunion every time I see them.  Learning about what they’ve been up to. . . seeing how big the kids have gotten.  Figuring out what tricks will work this time around for getting those […]

‘Twas two weeks before Christmas, not one. . .not three, Not a creature was sane, especially not me; The stockings were hung by the mantel in disarray, But they wouldn’t be filled by Santa, because he doesn’t visit here on Christmas Day; The children were sleeping sprawled out in their beds; While visions of ninjas […]

Squishy wee babes.  They are fast becoming some of my favorite photography subjects.  Once we get past the crying, flailing arms and stiff legs, and they turn into moldable piles of dough. . . that’s when I like them the best, of course.  I always laugh in my head at the beginning of a lot […]

Okay, okay. . . I can’t tell a lie.  Today’s blog post title?  Totally misleading.  I just wanted you to all be jealous for a moment, and picture me having a laid back day, feet up on my couch, good book in hand.  My maid came and cleaned the house while I ate bon bons […]

Trying to get photos of little kids is never without it’s challenges.  One child is of course, the most manageable, though  you can only do so much with one child during a session–you can’t mix up combinations of kids or do different groupings within the family. Add one or two more kids and you get […]
