My Little Valentine - 2012

Here's my favorite little Valentine (already 18 months!). He's sweet, sensitive & caring, smart, thoughtful, snuggly and I get oodles and oodles of kisses & hugs everyday from him. He's becoming quite a little gentleman as well.
Have a sweet Valentines Day, everyone. Love is everywhere!

   seriously... just kidding

heart strawberries for snack time

 Here's what Liam did after his shoot...

(there's that mischievous, excited look, as he entered the bathroom...)

toilet tissue is fun to play with :-)

tissue paper managed to stick to the bottom of his shoes and he extended the party out into the hallway... :-)

very cute to document and watch...and yes, he DID clean most of it up, when asked. I am very proud of him. <3 

A Beautiful 3rd Birthday Ballerina!

I had the pleasure of photographing this absolutely stunning ballerina-princess for her 3rd birthday milestone photos. Isn't she simply gorgeous? Miss "L" was so sweet and so much fun to work with. Thank you, R, it was wonderful to meet your family!

Welcome Newborn Baby M!

Welcome to the world little Baby M! This sweet little man was so content being nuzzled up with his mommy and what a lucky boy he is to have such a sweet big brother! Thank you for having me, E & R. Congratulations on a beautiful baby boy!

Handsome Brother Siblings

More cutie-patooties! These brothers are just so sweet and so beautiful... I can't believe how big J is getting - just look at those cheeks! I want to squish them! :-) O is getting more and more handsome each time I see him too. What a great big brother he is! Thank you, E, for coming to me to get some shots of your beautiful boys for the holidays. Here are just a few from their session...

Little Miss M

Here's sweet little Miss M in her warm furry jacket. Just adorable. She's one of the happiest and sweetest little girls I know and she loves to give my son kisses when she sees him... lol.  She enjoyed a little walk to the pond with her mommy and daddy here for their family photo shoot. This shoot was a low light challenge for me since the sun was almost below the horizon when we finished, but all of the images came out beautiful. Thank you so much S & S for having me capture your gorgeous family!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Hello! Happy Be-lated Holiday Wishes! 


Liam and I decided to make a gingerbread cake and then gingerbread cookies for our holiday baking lessons. He learned to stir the batter quite well without sticking his whole hand in it and he seemed pretty proud of the cookies we made. (Grandma helped us with the cookie cutter part.) We had a really nice Christmas weekend with our families!


Looking back at Oct-Dec, I can't believe how busy I've been. I managed to work 30+ hours weekly in addition to, (not cutting into), my full-time mommy schedule). I am one tired mama. As usual, I do my editing at night once I put my little man to bed and when he naps, I'm back working on orders etc. Thank you for all the business - I AM SO GRATEFUL.... though in 2012, I am making a few changes so that I get some much needed rest. (I'll keep everyone posted very soon on those 2012 changes.) 


I enjoyed receiving many of my customers' holiday cards with my purchased photo files on them. Thank you so much for thinking of me - I LOVE them all!  


And here are a few shots of Liam, practicing his newest culinary skills this month. See you on the next blog post in 2012! Give your kiddies a big hug from me and have a safe, happy & healthy New Year everyone!  

Welcome Newborn D!

This pretty little lady, newborn baby "D" was just a pleasure to photograph. Just look at those sweet little toes!  I loved the baby blankets that D's parents, A & M, had for her -I used one in one of the shots below. So pretty! Congrats A & M - she's perfect! Also, congrats & thank you to E on your first beautiful grandchild!

A Sweet Early Christmas Present - Welcome Newborn M

This itty-bitty beauty arrived several weeks early. Newborn Baby "M" was just 5 lbs. when I photographed her sweet little features. Just look at those pouty lips!!!  L & T, I'd say this has got to be the best early Christmas present anyone could imagine! Enjoy your little sweetheart - she is absolutely precious! Thank you so much, and also, thank you, A, for purchasing this gift certificate. And here are a few shots from Baby M's session...

Sweet Baby O

Awww....This little sweetheart was so alert for the first couple hours until she gave into sleep. What a cutie! Newborn Baby O was such a pleasure to photograph. Thank you K & M - she is beautiful!
