hiatus

I've had to take an unexpected break the last few days, so blogging has fallen to the bottom of my priority list. Please be assured that if you are waiting on a gallery, I am working diligently on getting it online for you. However, things may be a bit delayed for the next couple of days. Thanks for understanding.

Here's a shot of C to brighten your (my) day:

.the quad squad.

I've been slacking the last few days and don't have anything to post at the moment...so here's a link to a friend's blog.

the quad squad

They just gave birth to QUADS last week! Amazing! We were good friends with them several years ago (some may remember them from our wedding party), and through difficult circumstances in our lives, we lost touch with many old friends. I was so excited to hear of their news last fall, and then to find their blog! They are truly an amazing couple, and I can't wait to see what God will do with their lives!
FOUR babies - can you imagine? How awesome! God is so good :)

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

.baby r.

before we begin this sneak peek...just a note about response time:
i normally aim to return all phone messages and emails within 24 hours, however; i have had an unusually high volume of both lately, so reponse time may be closer to 48 hours. i do read every inquiry and promise to get back to you as soon as i am able. thanks :)

now...here's a sneak peek for precious baby r's parents. s&n - i loved photographing your little princess, and getting to know the 2 of you in the process. i'm still drooling over her adorable nursery! enjoy the peek :)



i've recently decided to carry some gorgeous hats for my newborn and child clients. this one i picked especially for baby r, but i'm sure you will be seeing it again considering my next 3 newborns are all girls ;) you can find these hats here

.scheduling & a few more of baby c.

Just had to post a few more from my newborn session last week!

I also wanted to give you an update on scheduling for this spring.
April & May are completely (over)booked! I will open booking for June on March 1st. With the way things are going, I expect the 4 spots left in June to go in a matter of weeks (probably less), so please don't delay if you are wanting a June session.

March still has a few spots left for newborn sessions, so don't forget to check out my newborn special if you are expecting or know someone who is.

Lots of new stuff coming soon...some gorgeous new products, as well as a new Collection that EVERYONE has been waiting for...yes, I am finally going to do it...what do you think it is? :) Keep checking the blog for all the details!


I LOVE that they are both smiling :)





Happy Monday!

First things first...HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I've been dying to post this image but made myself wait until today :) For my friends who haven't gotten their valentine yet, they are going in the mail tomorrow (late as usual). I didn't want to shock anyone by actually sending a card on time for once! :)


Now on to our regularly scheduled program...






I had the privilege of photographing another newborn this week. This little guy couldn't have been more perfect! He was wide eyed and awake when I got there, then fell into a deep sleep for the rest of the session. Perfect! His momma is pretty special to us, as she also took care of our precious Henry while he was in the hospital (yes, he had LOTS of nurses!) :) I hadn't seen her in years, so it was great to catch up and meet her 2 little girls and new baby boy. Here's a peek for you, L & J...hope you are getting some sleep at night :)






Can I just tell you how much I LOVE working with natural light? The light here just leaves such a feeling of wonderment and innocence...me love!









Last but not least, my favorite image from the session...and one of my favorite images to date!




Have a very Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

.m.

here's a sneak peek for baby m & his parents. he was such a happy-go-lucky little guy! we had fun playing at his house together. wintertime can be a challenge when you work only with natural light, esp on days like today when its cloudy and foggy. we spent lots of time near or in front of windows, and it worked beautifully. i still can't get over his gorgeous complexion! milky white skin and striking blue eyes - wow! plus i have a thing for bald babies :) enjoy the peek, j&a!









check out his gorgeous momma!




i'm sure mom & dad thought I was nuts when I drug the dining room table against the wall and asked them to sit "m" on it. hopefully now they'll understand the method to my madness! :) this is one of my fave shots of the whole session!


i'll post some from my newborn session this am coming up later this week!

.models, diaper bags, and blankets.

are just a few of the things i photographed yesterday for peas&carrots. What an amazing day! I got to meet so many new people, and the kiddos were just GORGEOUS! the pictures speak for themselves, but really...these kids were just great! and the products...i was borderline drooling all day. getting to touch all these great fabrics and not take anything home...torture! i was too busy to actually shop, so i'm definitely going to make a trip over there in the next few weeks to pick out a few things. the mommas were oohing and aahing over jessica's creations. i can't even begin to tell you everything she carries, but hopefully these images give you a small taste. this is a HUGE sneak peek...because i know jessica is dying to see some of these, as well as the moms of my models.

Soooo....let the posting palooza begin!


scrumptious mini quilts



these hats were just to die for!



these bibs are so stylish! perfect for throwing in the diaper bag for a dinner out...and way more fun than those paper disposable ones.



this boy has all the makings of a future model...better watch out, mom!



seriously, could this lil girl BE any cuter? i'm so excited to capture her & her lil sis again in april!



quick change - a mom essential! we actually had one mom yesterday say she wishes her son was still in diapers just so she had an excuse to buy one of these - THAT'S how cute they are!








is this little peanut not the sweetest thing? LOVE these hats!



i had serious baby fever after photographing this gorgeous lil girl!




i love these smocks for arts/crafts!




The colors are so drab on blogger...they really don't do these images justice! hopefully when i get my new blog next month that will change :)
Thanks for hanging in there for the longest blog ever! Have a great weekend everyone!
