Newborn Photo Session

One of the greatest gifts in life is to be a mother.  Though it's challenging at times and not always a lot of fun, the rewards are great.  There is nothing better than seeing your child smile or hearing them laugh. You  get to feel a love that is so powerful and protective... there is nothing like it!

I just had the pleasure of photographing a sweet newborn and it reminded me of how fast time goes by... how quickly they grow.  This is their first baby and I know they will be so glad to have these pictures, because even in two weeks from now she will change and be so much bigger.  We were fortunate to have newborn pictures for our youngest daughter and I only wish we would have done it for the oldest because they are some of the most treasured pictures I have.  There is something so peaceful and innocent about a newborn baby.
Having said all that... I LOVE these pictures.  If this were my baby, I'd have enlargements all over my house!  She's a beauty...

Thank you, Galo & Callie for having me in your home to capture these moments for you!  You are blessed with great family.... and your baby... she's fabulous!

TGIF...

I love Friday's!  It's the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend!  I don't know what it is but it feels different to me than any other day of the week.  But why is it the weekend flies by?  I have been a busy bee this week... between working my "real job" and doing photography, I've had my work cut out for me.  I had the pleasure of photographing my beautiful friend and co-worker, Jennifer, with her 3 babies.  Look how photogenic they all are...

Animal lovers will appreciate this, so sweet...

Thanks to Jen for being so beautiful, inside and out!  It was fun. :)

Tomorrow is another newborn shoot.  Check back again soon so you can see.

Where have I been?

I am terrible about blogging... but I'm making it more of a priority.  So my goal is to blog at least 3 times a week.  And, it won't just be who I am shooting either.  I'll start posting more personal stuff so you all can get to know me better.
I just got back from WPPI which is a huge photography convention that was in LasVegas.  I learned so much while I was there and I am so glad I had the opportunity to go.  A few weeks ago I announced that I would be partnering up with Michelle Pearson of XpressionsbyMichelle, but after attending WPPI and realizing what I am and am not capable of doing, I've decided to stay on my own.  Michelle is a very talented photographer and I wish I had more time to devote to a business partnership but the sad reality is, I just don't.
Since I've been back I've done a few photo shoots to put my new skills to use.  I've been thrilled with the way they've been turning out... and I just hope my clients are thrilled as well!  Just this morning I photographed the Nielsen's.  Such a cute family they are... so check them out.

I haven't got to edit them all yet, but here is one individual shots of beautiful Miss "A"
