I met this family this past August for a different session.  Their littlest was stung by a bee right at the beginning of our session 🙁  It was terrible–and I’m glad that they came back to visit for another session even after the traumatic experience of their first session!  Bridget was a little concerned as […]

This little guy ran away from me for the first five minutes of his session.  So we loosened him up a bit by throwing pinecones and seeing how fast he could run 🙂  Then he let loose some real smiles–plus, I think he was having a good time, so that always makes it more enjoyable […]

These two adorable girls are the nieces of my very good friend, Jami.  Their momma was a little sad that she missed out on the mini-sessions that I held in August, so she was sure to grab a slot in my November sessions.  She did the session as a surprise for her husband for Christmas, […]

One of my Facebook friends has twin boys.  Her Facebook status the other day read I just decorated a batch of cookies with the boys.  Somehow, I imagined that going so much better in my head.   So when Brayden asked if we could make our annual “gingerbread project”, I laughed in my head about […]

I met the Powers family during one of my holiday mini-session days.  They brought their three sweet girls for some Christmas pictures.   Their middle girl, in the red dress, has autism.  I enjoyed photographing her, because it was all about trying to capture her as the session unfolded.  We handed her a couple of […]

This family did their mini-session with me at a very chaotic time.  We had just “moved” the day before–meaning, we were living completely out of boxes.  But I had already scheduled two sessions for that day before we even knew we were moving.  So what was another mini, right?  I was thankful that Jeniliee and […]

James and I had a wedding on Saturday.  The last wedding of the 2011 season.  If you have been up to date with my blog, you will know from some of my posts last week that I really have been amazed at the lack of snow.  Not saddened about it at all. . . just […]

Another family session when it was amazing weather out for December.  I was so happy for my families. . . that they were able to come to sessions wearing outfits that didn’t have to be covered up with bulky coats.   The Tiernan family came to do a cake smash for their little man who […]

I love taking pictures of my friend Jami’s family.  There is a wonderful reason for this.  It’s because when I go to her house, and look around, there are pictures hanging ALL over her walls and framed on her tables and shelves. Pictures that I took of them.  And it makes me happy. . . […]

I’m sure many of you parents who spend a lot of time with your children, and who also have some other responsibilities other than parenting find yourselves pulled in a hundred directions.  That’s not news to anybody.  And to me, it’s definitely not new news. Many times this week, I have told myself to stop. […]
