I call this luck!

Baby JJ is getting ready to celebrate his first Christmas... Just before this shot he was sleeping like a baby lol.. He then woke up and his Mommy was trying to get his attention by shaking Koko's cat toy. When I opened this proof up and saw his little face, his hands so perfectly placed (not in his mouth like they had been all the other time he was awake) I thought to myself this one was pure luck!

One for Em..

Here is one for Emma... All she wanted was to see the shots with her and Megan... Here you go girl...

Meet Em!

Ok so no sleep for me! I told myself that I would just take a peak at what we got and it is now after midnight! Here is one that jumped out at me right off the bat! I love the look on her face... Can you say canvas!

A Sneak Peak....

What a fun shoot! The kids were great! Even Dad was into it! Here is the sneak peak that I promised... I just love this one! She looks like a little doll..

Janet you out there??

Janet, now you have proof that they actually do get along! LOL.. Just a cute shot of my friends two boys that we snuck in during a newborn shoot... Pretty darn cute for not being a planned shot...

Can you say Spooky!

Could she been anymore scary! Megan was a Bratz Bat for Halloween. She was a little afraid of all the Halloween decorations and costumes this year so she decided to be something scary to scare away the very things she was afraid of. Scare the scary... Pretty good reasoning for a 4.5 year old! What is hilarious about this picture is that she was irritated with me for wanting to take some pictures of her costume... So it is the real deal my friends! Minus the makeup I see this look every so often! Scary stuff I tell ya...

At the Pumpkin Patch

Here is one from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Megan looks forward to our visit every year. This year she even cooperated for a few snaps by the pumpkins.. She played with the pigs, the goats and even rode the train... What fun! all this and it was only 92 degrees outside here in October.. It wasn't that bad as long as you stayed in the shade...

A little sneak peak!

These are from a recent session and I promised Mom a sneak peak... I just love these two shots but there are plenty more to go through... Ok back to proofing..

A Couple from Today

Little did I know that the Chestnut seamless paper and the faux wood floor would get so much mileage.. I am just lovin' this combo.. It is now becoming the most requested set up... Today we did some fun shots of the girls and we got Nate Dogg in his "do-rag." I now have a nice dent in the wall from Megan riding the skateboard when we weren't looking... Oh well, I guess that is what drywall putty is for...

Baby Maddie

This is baby Maddie. She is just the sweetest little thing ever! Her Mommy is the President of our MOMS Club and that makes her one busy lady! I am so glad I had the opportunity to take Maddie's newborn pictures... Although there were many favorites these three just spoke to me for some reason. The emotion shared between Mother and Daughter is priceless...

Megan's First Photoshop Creation

Megan decided that she wanted to help me in Photoshop so she jumped up into the stool with me and I taught her some techniques. She learned how to use the halloween brushes. She can change the color of the brush and re-size it too! I taught her how to flatten the layers and change the background color as well.. She created this picture! Following in Mommy's footsteps! You go girl! And at four even!

Front Yard Fun...

My new camera arrived yesterday so I talked Megan into a front yard session... She stayed focused for about six shots! She was just not in the mood to stay outside very long... I guess I need to invest in another bottle of bubbles. Bubbles keep us outside for at least ten minutes or so. I did get this one which I just love! One out of six ain't bad...

Just a couple of my little Witch!

Here are a few shoots from our Little Miss Witch session. I had to promise candy corn to get her to cooperate! New for fall '07 is the beautiful Halloween Tutu! I think we have a tutu now for every occasion! Stay tuned for the Winter '07 Christmas Tutu soon to be released... and I have a love/hate relationship with Ross (the store)! I got this cute little chair there over the weekend! Love it! Hate the fact that there is like four more I want! They just have the cutest little mini furniture!

Time to start thinking Christmas Cards!

Meet "the Baby!"

He's here and could he be any cuter! These were taken when he was just 12 days old. I can not get over how alert this little guy was! After peeing on the floor two times and eating he finally tuckered out! What a sweetie..
