Well, this little darling would absolutely not sleep for us, so any shots you see of her looking like she’s sleeping are actually just quickly snapped during a blink! She was perfectly content however and never cried (except when we put her in a pumpkin, but that’s another story).

Enjoy!

I had a chance to take a few snaps of my own kids this weekend, some of them a little more reluctantly than others. In any case, since I’m not photographing older kids at the moment, this is a good opportunity to keep my chasing around skills honed!

Enjoy!

I’ve photographed this little guy a few times, but I never remember his hair being quite this curly! Look at that strawberry blonde goodness!

Enjoy!

Here is a sneak peek for Miss G. She’s gotten so grown up, I can’t believe it!!

Enjoy!

I don’t do maternity that often, although I do pregnancy a lot myself. So, after four pregnancies of my own, I realized that I don’t have any shots of my own baby bump (ok, at 33 weeks it’s slightly more than a bump). So for my fifth pregnancy, I decided to remedy that situation, with a little help from my remote shutter release and my three-year old. (She was less helpful than you might imagine with the photographs, but she kept me company.)

I love doing holiday sessions. A lot of photographers don’t, but I do. So, even though I’m “on a break,” I’m doing one day of sessions for the holidays. Yay!

It’s been so long that I’ve done any photography! Since I started my hiatus back in April-ish, we’ve moved a house (with four kids in it and a pregnant mom), a business, released the studio space, and generally spent a summer being in a state of complete overwhelmed-ness (is that even a word?).

Well, I’m taking newborn clients again, but only for a short period of time before I have one of my own, and this is the first one I’ve done in a while. Needless to say, he made my job easy and was sleepy and angelic and completely photogenic. These are a few sneak peeks for his family.

Keep your eye out for a holiday mini-session that I’m doing. It’s definitely a limited edition as I’m only doing one and offering a beautiful set of holiday card selections to go with it.

Enjoy!

A Littlest Hero! Would you check out the hair on this little beauty? I had the privilege of photographing these two beautiful kids this past weekend for the Littlest Heroes Project (a great cause, I’ve met so many wonderful families through this group). She is one of the sweetest-natured little girls I’ve ever met and her brother is all energy!

More to come, but here are a few for her parents.

She is daddy’s little girl!

I was busy making sure all of my people who were actually in the wedding were where they were supposed to be. Since that meant keeping track of four kids and a husband, there wasn’t much time to photograph anything. Besides, they had the very talented Berit there capturing everything (seriously, she’s really good. Check her out: Images By Berit), so here are a few quick snapshots of the aforementioned kids and husband in their finery.
