Last Sunday I had the fun privilege of photographing maternity portraits for a dear friend of mine…who just so happens to be the cutest little pregnant gal I’ve ever known. Remember when you were a kid and you put a ball or a balloon under your shirt and pretended to be pregnant? Yeah, she pretty much looks like that. Just so precious. Without further ado, please say hello to Tiffany, Kyle and Wiley.

Since the weather warmed up to positive 20 degrees {F} we even took a few shots outside.


I told Tiffany to bring along anything she wanted featured in the photos with her. To my wonderful surprise she and Kyle showed up with Wiley in tow. He is so cute and spunky. Adding him to the mix in these portrait was so fun. I’m pretty sure I laughed until I cried at some of his antics. Oh, and let me be clear…I didn’t tell the dog to get on Kyle’s shoulders. They told me that’s just where he likes to sit. What a ham!



Thanks guys! I had a great time. Can’t wait to meet that sweet baby girl!

Last week I posted a sneak peek of Danica and Robin’s photo session. Here is the full deal. Two sweet sisters. One sugary baby–one spicy three year old. I had a blast setting my “mobile studio” up in their very own living room so Danica could be entertained while we did Robin’s photos and Robin could nap while we shot her big sis’s portraits. It worked out great.
Before I unleash the cuteness, I’ve got to thank their wonderful mother, Wyrene for being a guinea pig and letting me test my new set up in her home. She’s the best.






For even more of these cuties, be sure to go over to the Facebook page tomorrow. I’ll be posting the full session there. Oh, and you might as well click the “like” button while you are there. That way you won’t miss anything awesome.

This week I had the good fortune of photographing two beautiful little girls. I was so excited to edit the photos…so I’m thrilled to be bringing you a sneak peek tonight! Without further ado, feast your eyes on Baby Robin and her big-girl sister, Danica.

This session was especially exciting for me because recently I’ve stocked up on props and back drops. {And more are on the way!} See…I’ve never worked in a place where outdoor photography was not a year round possibility. So I’m getting creative and making this whole winter thing work to my advantage. This session was so fun. Robin is precious, as you can see…and a joy to shoot.

Now meet Danica. I just love this girl’s personality. She is a bit of a tom-boy…but boy does she clean up nice! She was eager to give me her “Princess Smile.” But when I handed her a strand of pretty beads to play with she didn’t pretend to wear them. Instead she quickly told me that it was a snake that had poison and could bite. Hey…whatever floats your boat. I love a girl with imagination and attitude.
