I was so excited to see this family again. These two munchkins were SO happy and smiley for the entire session – they had me giggling most of the time. We feared rain, but the morning ended up to be beautiful. YAY for spring!
Enjoy your peek! :)

What a wonderful time I had with Annie, Scott, and Caroline in the park! The weather was beautiful and miss Caroline arrived with all of her usual smiles and giggles — not to mention her adorable clothes. Although I’ve been taking pictures for this family for several years now, this felt like the most relaxed session ever. We did more family shots than usual and I felt myself smiling as I looked through them. I am loving these precious moments I was able to capture between mom, dad, and Caroline. It’s also fun for me to see how much Caroline has grown since our last Fall Session — and even since our spring session when we took pictures for the cover of Our Town Magazine.
Enjoy your sneak peek! :)

I’m late in sharing this, and late in lots of things right now. But, I’m forgiving myself as I enjoy some time with my precious kids. :) My dear friend Vicki’s daughter turned 6 and we did a special session at the park to celebrate. Enjoy!
Here she is, same park, in 2007:


And now, in 2011:










See what I mean??? Six years old, really?

I was so excited when Bridgette asked me to do her family pictures. We met several years ago when our daughters were in pre-school together. I was lost, trying to find the first parent orientation for our pre-school and the only thing I had with me was the class roster with all the parents names and numbers. In a panic, I randomly picked one to call for help and directions and Will answered. He was so nice, even on the phone, and I knew right then that we would be friends. Since then, Bridgette and Will have battled breast cancer together (and won!) and both their “babies” have grown into beautiful little girls. I’m delighted to call them my friends!
When we discussed the session Bridgette had two very important things she wanted to capture: Marin’s stunning blue eyes and Brynn’s long golden hair. CHECK and CHECK! Of course, I had to capture much more than that – like what a happy family they are and how much the girls love each other. *wink*
Enjoy your peek!

I really had a wonderful time with the moms during my mini sessions. Often times we spend so much time behind the camera and we really don’t get in the pictures (except for a couple posed family shots where we ask a passerby to quickly snap our photo). I don’t usually do a lot of “collage” creations because having too many pictures can take away from the special moment in an image. For these two, it’s the opposite. This first collage tells a story with mom and her baby girl, having fun, being silly, and giggling together. The second collage tells the full story behind getting miss Chloe to do exactly what we wanted with the little chalkboard frame. While I would probably just choose one of these to enlarge, I think they are super fun together as a storyboard for a child’s room or playroom.
