Meet Miss Amanda, a soon-to-be high school senior whose shy disposition was quickly peeled away as she and I dove into a random conversation about just about everything.  There are so many levels to this beautiful young woman and I had such a great time working with her.  She belongs to a wonderful and loving family who all feel so very lucky to have her.

Frilly dresses and lace socks…it doesn’t get much more “girl” than that.  Little Miss “A” has a closet filled with the most beautiful clothes.  It’s always such a treat helping her mom decide what to dress her in for our sessions.  I had to laugh though because we picked out the frilliest, prettiest dress in the bunch and what does she do (see image 1)?  Classic!

‘Tis summer at last and with that of course, comes the wedding season.  Melanie and Steve couldn’t have asked for better weather…the clouds we thought were going to bring rain skedaddled on their way and we were left with nothing but sunny skies.  Here are a few images from their big day.  As you can see, Melanie was a beautiful bride with an infectious smile.  Thank you both again for inviting me to participate in your very special day.

This young man is quite the charmer…so full of personality with a dash of sweet innocence.  A perfect combination if you ask me.  Based on the time I spent with him, I predict he will go far in this industry.  Keep up the good work kid-o!

What an honor it is when clients entrust me with designing and creating pieces to announce special events in their lives.  This particular client wanted a custom birth announcement showcasing a few of the images from our newborn session and oh, the fun I had working on it!

There are those who simply delight being in front of the camera.  This little girl is one of them!  She stepped up on her “stage” and put on the performance of a lifetime.  Take a look at how she responded when her brother wanted in on the action.  (See 4th image)  Ha!  Could she be an Academy Award-winning actress in the making?!  You tell me.

The image that earned the “title”:

Not only can she dance…

but she can pose as well! Yes, folks…she came up with this all on her own:

And then there’s “the look”:

Then it was her brothers turn…

Big brother showing off his fancy new binoculars!

Even though he took her spotlight for a moment, secretly she still thinks he is the best big brother in the world.
