My original quads…
January 27, 2010 – 11:28 am
(Now that I’ve photographed three sets of quads–phew!)… I can’t just call them “the quads”… so here is my first set. Mama wanted pics of them in the same sweaters we photographed them in for their 1st birthday (they just turned two!)… so we did those and then did a quick Valentine’s Day photo. We had one unwilling participant, but still managed to get a few shots! :) Here is one of my favorites…. can you tell which one wasn’t having it! :)

Valentine’s Day Mini-Minis…
January 25, 2010 – 8:17 pm
Today was so much fun!!! These short little sessions (15 minutes) went off without a hitch…. besides some lollipop drool and some reluctant kids who really needed a little more time to warm up to a stranger in their face with a big ole camera… but that’s ok! We got some awesome images anyway! I’ll put up one from each session (and hope your husbands don’t look!) I told everyone 5-10 images in their final gallery, but I think they will probably get more because there were too many to narrow it down! Some seriously gorgeous kids came through today… loved it all!
If you missed out on today and are interested, please email me. I’m thinking about doing another one next week, but am not 100% sure. Thanks!

Valentine’s Surprise….
January 24, 2010 – 3:09 pm
So…. SHHHHHHH if you know this baby’s daddy! :) He must not be a blog-stalker– because her mommy told me I could put these here! (How dare you, Brad!)… Anyway: Instead of a traditional 9 month session– her Mama decided to pretend like they were not having one and surprise Daddy for Valentine’s Day with some of these shots. Perfect idea– perfect baby– and (in my opinion) perfectly beautiful pictures of Little Madi-cakes!
I’ll put a before baby (baby in the belly with heart on top) and after baby photo right here:

Valentine’s Backdrop…
January 23, 2010 – 4:47 pm
Lots of people who are coming to the mini sessions this coming week have asked what the backdrops look like… and this is one of the new ones. Just a quick shot of Miss E– who quickly asked where her lollipop was. Nope! Not until the official Valentine’s Day shoot! :)
ENJOY:
And here is what it looks like in B&W:
A week old tomorrow…
January 21, 2010 – 9:29 pm
This is her first “newborn” session (not counting her actual birth and me visiting her on her 3rd day of life in the hospital!)– the 2nd one with her big brother and sister will be sometime soon, so I’ll have to post a few pics from that one too! Little Leyla was not so tired at first… we did a few family shots, then Mommy fed her and I took over while they got to relax for a bit and I tried to convince Leyla to close her eyes and let me pose her and move her and change her… and it worked. Love this baby!
ENJOY:
I loved this one in B&W too:
Gorgeous Mama:
And GQ daddy too:
Newborn session tomorrow…
January 20, 2010 – 4:49 pm
…with this little beauty. So excited to see her again… here she is at 3 days old (still in the hospital)! She’ll be 6 days old tomorrow– so nice and sleepy (I hope!!)

I did a few of these last year– and had such great results, I decided to do a few mini-mini sessions (15 minutes) this year. This is really if you are looking for just a few good shots to give as V-day presents to your spouse, parents, inlaws, etc… Such a cute idea.

Thanks again!!
