Welcome baby Kate!

02.28.11

I genuinely love seeing past clients again! I love to hear how they are doing, see how their kids are growing, if they remember me and sometimes I get to meet a new family member! I've had the pleasure of photographing this family many times so I was very excited when I heard there would be a new family member arriving! Kate is a beautiful newborn girl and was very easy going! Check her out!

 

When Kate was hungry, I said NO PROBLEM because then I got to spend some time with big sister Emily!

 

Congratulations to big sister Emily, Mom and Dad on Kate's arrival!

Happy 1st Birthday Sutton!

02.24.11

I'm really at a loss for words and if you know me, that's saying something. How do you sum up the first year of your child's life? I guess you can't….

Dear Sutton,

I feel sad that your first year of life is already over, in what feels like, the blink of an eye. On the other hand, I can barely remember what life was like before you and am excited for what is to come. My love for you is greater then I ever imagined! Happy first Birthday!

P.S. I did have a much better nights rest last night compared to a year ago! ;)

Love, Mom

Introducing Zoe and Austin

02.22.11

This new Dad and I have been good friends since college. Our weekends used to involve trips up north, parties and maybe even the occasional drink. ;) He has now joined me in the world of binky's and diaper changes – x2! Life sure does change and he'll love every minute of it!

These twins were greatly wanted and anticipated, so I know there are lots of friends and family out there who have been waiting for more photos! Check them out!

 

 

 

 

New Momma with her baby boy has been waiting for this moment!

 

Daddy and his little girl.

 

Congratulations to the new family of 4 (5 with Shelby), enjoy every minute because it goes by way to fast!

Well it's no secret if you follow the blog or are a friend on facebook that I became an Aunt last week! YAY! And like any good photographer Aunt, I got my camera on Miss Melanie as soon as I could! She is a perfect and beautiful little model with parents that are so in love with her you can feel it! I'm so happy for this new family of three!

Special thanks to Hottie Mottie for this super cute custom onesie!

My sis-in-law is just glowing! Motherhood suits her very well!

 

I love me some baby feet!

 

Another awesome onesie from Hottie Mottie! 

 

 

How sweet is this?

Congratulations to the new Mom and Dad! Melanie is very loved by the whole family!

P.S. Sutton can't wait to meet his new cousin!

    Kelli, you have an amazing talent. I'm not sure how I feel about my grand daughter being naked on a web site? But Melanie is a beauty. Doesn't Kathy look fantastic.
