First Communion Shoot

What a special morning with the beautiful girl. I LOVE when I get to photograph these types of special events in the lives of children- even more so when we can do it before the actual day! That means no stress and no time constraints (and no stains on the dress yet!). :) Thank-you for an amazing morning in a gorgeous church!

Sneak Peek at Mother's Day mini shoots

Here is the start of some Mom's day mini shoots! I've had a blast doing so many photo shoots this past week! :)

Is there anything more fun than throwing grass when you are a boy? Guess not!

The {T} Girls

I was fortunate enough to meet this family last weekend and have honor of taking their beautiful daughter's photographs. Pure beauty and my camera loved them both. :) They were so sweet and it made me excited to get home to my own two brown-haired beauties! Here is your sneak peek {T} Family...

And now you know where their beauty comes from!

I always jump at the chance to photograph kids doing something they love. This girl had some SERIOUS talent- played beautifully while I snapped away.

The Newest Member of the {W} Family

What a fun morning this was. This little guy is the newest baby for a great friend of mine. I was so excited to do his photos because it meant I got to spend some time with his mommy too! Not many people can work, catch up with friends, and hold sweet newborns all at once. Yep- I'm a lucky lady!
So, our shoot started out a little rough... this is how he felt about his first photo session:
Just when I started to get a bit nervous- his brilliant mom pulled out the vacuum cleaner. Those of you out there that have had a fussy baby already know the power of loud white noise. I had an extremely (did I mention EXTREMELY) colicky baby when our youngest was born. So I do know some intense white noise can help. However- I have NEVER seen a baby respond so well and so immediately! Within .2 seconds- this was the next shot... ahhhh, much better!

And the peacefulness continued (while his mom and I screamed over the loud vacuum).

He was so happy and the weather was so pretty, that we even got a little grin outside.

And here he is- wide eyed and awake. For those of you who know his big brother- whoa! This sure is a "mini me"!

and of course... gotta get those sweet baby fingers and toes. He is just perfect!

More photos to come soon of his big brother and sister- you just can't believe any one family could have THREE kids this cute! Congrats to the {W} family! Love you guys!

Mr. {E} is ready for Spring!

I just love getting to see this guy each month. Although I've photographed him loads of times, this is the first time it was nice enough to get him outside for a few shots. So fun to experience those new things with a baby.

First we wanted to get a few shots of him showing off his sitting skills and playing with his favorite toys.

Concentrating very hard on the important things in life...

Time for an outfit change...

Sweet Miss {S}

Oh my! What a photographer dream this little girl was. All smiles and by some miracle- listened to all of my "subtle suggestions" throughout the shoot. Not exactly normal for a baby! I couldn't have asked for a perfect little girl to photograph... Check it out for yourself!
