Having fun outdoors!

Isn't Fall the best? I have been having such fun getting out of the studio and playing outside.

The first pics I ever took of this little beauty were when she was 4 days old. And look at her now. She's amazing. Smart, funny, pretty, sweet with a heart as big as Texas. She takes after her Mommy. I could take pics of her all day, every day.

You can see why, right?

Little Lilah

I'm having trouble with the blogging program so I hope these post well. This little girl was delightful...such a happy baby. I love this quiet moment with her Daddy...but the rest of the time she was just all smiles. What a sweetie pie!

My little friend Olivia

I have been taking photos of this adorable girl since she was a tiny baby. She is just the neatest little kid. So interesting, and funny, and smart...the whole package. I feel so honored to have been sharing her childhood. I really am so moved when I have clients who come back, again and again--we develop a real relationship and I feel a part of their memories.

Thank you Kelly and Olivia for including me in these moments...

Sisters...

I've been really looking forward to this. What great sisters this little one has. So much love in this family. Little Ava is a lucky baby!

Sweet baby Madison

This little sweet baby is 3 weeks old --and what a delicious way for me to return to working full time. I loved her--and it doesn't hurt that her Mommy and Daddy are just 2 of the sweetest people I could ever ask for clients. It was a nice way to get back to work.

Samantha, Cory, and beautiful baby Morgan

It is so nice to be back at work. As most of my clients know, I recently had surgery and had to take some time off. This lovely family was my first session back in the studio and what a wonderful way to get back to work! I enjoyed every minute with this sweet couple and their adorable new baby girl.

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan

Yes, I admit it...I'm one of those "dog moms". But, really....are these not the cutest little Tinkebell and Peter Pan doggies ever?? I can't wait for Halloween---its so much fun to answer the door with these two in their costumes!

Our Pay It Forward Family

A couple of months ago I blogged about having our portraits taken as part of a photographer's Pay It Forward project. In return, we committed to taking a family portrait for another professional photographer. Last night, we had a great time with Misty and Simon and their 2 great kids Jude and Ruby. Its a little odd to take portraits for another photographer but this family was just so sweet and such fun to work with.

Thanks so much Misty and Simon (and kiddos)!
