Believe it or not Sarah was my very first maternity client! Her and Andrew were such troopers and we took pictures for hours! I guess I may add that Andrew was forced happy to be there. Of course this was a few years ago and now she has an adorable son Chase and another baby boy on the way. Sarah and I have become great friends and have so much fun when we are able to spend time together. I know she’s been waiting to see these and I am in love with them all. Thank you Sarah for our wonderful friendship, congratulations and I hope nothing but good memories come from your delivery! Muah!

Dane absolutely cracks me up! I love his big blue eyes and his gummy smile. This shoot fit Dane to the T. Dane IS a rock star! I love these shots and had a super fun time at the session. Enjoy your sneak peek and as always lovely to see the family!

I had a great time with baby Charlotte and her family at their shoot. She has the chubbiest of thighs and the cutest cheeks! You can learn more about baby Charlotte and her family HERE. Thank you all for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

This little girl graces the front page of my website and is the main subject of my absolute favorite portrait to date! You can see her newborn shoot here. The last picture is just as cute as her newborn with all of Daddy’s gear! She is now almost 4.5 months old and the cutest thing ever! If you ask her Mom she’s the biggest baby around, lol. I love all of these chunkers coming in, I can just pinch them all day long! Thank you guys for coming in through all of that rain and even dealing with the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard! It sounded like it was right outside our door! Not only that but the power went out for a minute and we all just looked at each other like OMG! Anyhow, we had a great time and look at her! G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! The pearl that she has on are a very special momento from her late Great Grandmother’s jewelry collection as well. (Correct me if I’m wrong…)

Melia, Melia, Melia! I have grown so fond of this little girl! I remember the first time she came in and Mom was so worried about her “funny smile”. We all know that stage around 2-3 years old when they cheese so hard you can see their molars! Well, Melia smiled so beautifully for me and to this day does amazing! She is just the sweetest little girl. I love the last one because it is so “her”! Thank you guys!

Nicolas came in yesterday and was full of smiles! I love all of his chunky-ness! Rolls galore! This is one of the best stages to have professional portraits done because they are full of giggles and smiles, can sit pretty well and are just plain ole’ happy! Thank you for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

I didn’t think that my day could get any better until Mary and Michelle came through the door. These are not normal children, they are amazing! The listen to every thing you say. They follow directions! They smile perfect. They are adorable. You want me to go on? I won’t, I’ll let you see for yourself! Thank you for a fun, wonderful session!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Clare was so cute! I love that Mommy had her put her hands together for the angel poses. She looks adorable as usual and we had a lot of fun! Thank you again for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!

These two always steal my heart. Baby Tony is now 3 months old and has grown so much since his newborn session. He giggles and laughs at me. He cuddles and drools. He’s an all-around awesome little man and I’m proud to be friends with his family so I can squeeze his thighs whenever I want! His big sister Nessa takes extremely good care of him and oh.my.goodness has this little girl turned into a big girl. She turned 4 just this month and when she got to the shoot she got up in front of the camera and WORKED IT! Good job Nessa! Enjoy your sneak peek!  (I just couldn’t pick 2 or 3!)

Andrew loves to have fun. And to eat. Hey! We have 2 things in common! He’s at that age where he’d rather play than take pictures and once we start playing we get those yummy, genuine smiles that I love! Check him out! Thanks for another fun session and enjoy your sneak peek!

Kain! You can see by the pictures that Kain and I are best buddies. I love making him laugh and he seems to like it as well! I was so excited to see him and he started my day off with a bang! He’s grown so much in the past 2 months and I even think he was flirtin’ with me. Look at that second picture! Thank you for bringing him in and enjoy your sneak peek. Happy first Valentine’s Day Kain!

Wow this little man amazed me. He has this glow about him that just makes you smile. I think Sebastian smiles when he’s crying. His big smile, cute little gums and one tooth! He truly made my day. Thank you Mommy and Grandma for bringing him in and happy, happy birthday Sabastian!

When I saw baby Amyris my heart melted! This little boy has the softest skin and the yummiest lips! Did I mention that he was born on Christmas Day? Yep! The only baby in that hospital born on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas Mommy and Daddy! Amyris doesn’t like to be bothered when he is sleeping so it was a tad more difficult but I don’t think you can tell from the portraits, to me he did amazing! Thank you for welcoming me into your home to capture this little guy. You are both blessed and congratulations! Enjoy your sneak peek!  **All of these were taken with natural light only.

This little girl blessed us only a few days before Christmas so it was only right to add in a few Christmas props. At 15 days old she did amazing. Thank you all for a wonderful session and welcoming me into your home, your daughter is gorgeous. I hope for sleep filled nights for the rest of the month for you! Enjoy your sneak peek… **All of these were taken with natural light only.

This little angel is lucky to be one of my best friends! She is perfect in every way and looks exactly like her older brother when he was born! Her mommy and I went to high school together and were inseparable. As time went on we both grew up and with life haven’t been able to see each other that often but she’ll always have a special place in my heart. Baby Simone slept like and angel the entire session! Please welcome baby Simone and Ericca may you not have too many sleepless nights! Congratulations and enjoy your sneak peek!

This little girl was giggling since she stepped foot into the studio! What a ham she is.  She is a miracle to all around her and was a joy to photograph. Thank you all for a wonderful session and enjoy your sneak peek!
