Michigan Sessions…

July 25, 2010 – 10:00 am

I have had a bunch mini-sessions and a few full sessions, so I’ll try to post a few from each over the next couple days! We are heading to another cottage on Lake Michigan on Wednesday, where I won’t have internet or a computer… so there won’t be too much work going on then (except for taking pics for a few people– and of course, capturing my two four year olds enjoying my favorite spot on earth!)

My mini-session in August back in Texas is completely full. I will not be having any more mini sessions before the holiday minis I always offer, so if you are interested in photos, but don’t need a full session I would suggest getting your friends together for a “playdate” session! I’ve done quite a few of them in the past year and they are always a blast and always result in awesome photos!

Anyway… here are some shots of some cute kids who came my way last week! Their eyes and their smiles… so adorable!

ENJOY:

New postcard out…

May 16, 2010 – 6:55 pm

And… you can take advantage! Do you have an OB/GYN who would be willing to put my new, awesome postcards in their “New Mommy” package that they either give their patients right after they discover they are pregnant? Don’t know? Ask! :) What about putting some on display in your child’s pediatricians office? If you help me out, you could get your next session fee waived and also get a few FREE prints! Let me know! I have a few things already in the works– so if you go to Centennial Peds it is already taken care of– and big things coming! :) Also, this is obviously for my DFW readers! :)

What a difference a year makes…

April 13, 2010 – 1:18 pm

I took the first picture of my dear friend, Kathryn, when she was about 9 months pregnant. She was the very last session of the bluebonnets… the sun was setting and the light was GORGEOUS– and so was she! One of the most beautiful pregnant women I’ve ever seen…

Fast forward a year…. and here is what we have… a gorgeous mama, a gorgeous baby and a beautiful sunny day! I might have to drag them back out there at sunset sometime this week to try to get the exact picture– but you get the idea!

Love them.

ENJOY:

The Birth of Austin Charles…

February 7, 2010 – 8:39 pm

I had the honor of photographing a 2nd birth (only a few weeks after the 1st) and this time it was my precious nephew! Christina’s water broke at 2am, contractions started shortly after… so I raced to find people to watch my twins (husband worked yesterday) and then raced to Austin… to wait… and wait… and wait. The sweet little boy was very content where he was and took his time coming out (finally around 10:20 last night)… but it was well worth the wait.

His mama was a CHAMP– not one complaint– took every order the nurse or doctor gave her with almost a smile…. and produced a magnificent 8lb 2oz little boy. Congrats Jeremy & Christina— and thank you for wanting me there! :) By the way— Jeremy was so sweet and supportive the entire process (as you’ll be able to see from the pictures). I could tell he wanted to take on her pain so she wouldn’t have to suffer… so sweet. Newborn session scheduled for next weekend… so back to “Austin” we will go! Here is some of what I captured….

PS… for any photogs wondering: 2.8 f-stop, 1100 ISO… no flash!

ENJOY:
