MDO rocks!

I had a terrific opportunity recently to take school pictures at my daughter's Mother's Day Out. The kids were so so much fun and I think I was able to capture all the unique expressions and smiles of each child. Remembering back to the days of my school photos we had the cookie cutter boring backdrops and the same cheesy smile year after year. I hope that the parents will really enjoy their photos and remember these precious years. I'm sorry that there are so many to share but I couldn't narrow down the ones I wanted to show and there were just too many cuties! I wish I could post them all! If you're in the area and are interested in school photos at your child's school or MDO I would LOVE to talk to the director/principal!

Construction Zone

Working on a few changes that will make my blog more beautiful...stay tuned!

My Little Girly Girl

One of my favorite boutique designers is Rene' of Girly Girl Originals. She has such an eye for beautiful fabrics, fun and kid friendly designs, and is just the sweetest person you will ever meet. To top if off she has some of the most gorgeous looking children. Trust me, the girl has got talent and good genes.

Here's Emily with her first Girly Girl set. Spectacular baby threads, aren't they?

Chubs

Baby Em got to model for some fabulous designers on eBay recently. Here's a few for those of you that need a baby fix! Can those cheeks get any rounder???

Time to Catch Up!

I've been neglecting this blog and I really do apologize. My kids have kept me extremely busy this summer and now that fall is here things are a little less hectic. Here are a few pictures of the cutest little boy I got to do a session with this summer. Isn't he a doll?

Windows, Windows, Windows...

I LOVE LOVE natural light. Nothing is better than walking into a room and seeing a wall full of sunlight pouring in. You know it's going to be a great place to grab some shots. What's even better is walking in and finding a king size bed with crisp white linens. It's like a dream come true to photograph babies on.

Cleaning up

I am cleaning up my files and came across this little cutie today. This was a picture from last year and I just love his expression so much I had to share!

Miss G--another year older and more beautiful than ever!

I was totally honored to take pictures again of this young lady who I had the privilege of shooting last year. She is amazingly mature and such a beauty! What a photographer's dream!

Chinese Gardens

We had so much fun photographing a few sets for boutique sew unique this past week. There's a Buddhist temple near our home with a garden filled with statues that was the perfect background for these sets. The designer Sue was a joy to work with!

Kiddos

They grow up way too fast! Here's what I've captured in a blink of an eye so that I'll never forget them at this age...

Baby Grace Designs

I had the pleasure of working with Jayne of Baby Grace Designs. Her fabric pairings are so fun and fresh and her work is just divine!

Tweet Tweet Sweet!

Molly of KC*ME is a dream designer to work with! She is so much fun and just a genius with a sewing machine. She's also a super sweet mother to my good friend Jena. Here is her latest set, which my daughter absolutely LOVES to wear, that we modeled and happens to be listed on eBay right now for a super low price! Click here to view her auction.

I *Heart* Faces - Week 17

Jodi of MCP actions brought my attention to this site and their weekly contest. I knew right away which photo I wanted to enter. No huge story behind this one but it was the first of many modeling jobs my daughter has done and brought us into the world of boutique modeling. Check out the other amazing entries at www.iheartfaces.com

Baby Bear

Emily is now two weeks old and already losing that newborn look. I knew I had to get some pictures in soon. Here are a few to share with you!

Photo Contest

This is a photo of Izzy I took awhile back (I think it was last summer) but I don't believe I've ever shared it. I have it blown up and waiting to be framed. However, Jodi of MCP Actions is running a contest with the folks at Color Inc. They are picking the perfect pictures to be blown up and printed on a gallery wrapped canvas. I would absolutely LOVE this to be done on canvas! Hope you like it too!
