Why should you invest in custom portraiture?

Cutie Patootie Chase

I can't believe Chase is already 9 months old. It seems like just yesterday that I was doing his six month session. Chase is only a week younger than Baby Jake, and Chase's session totally reminded me that I need to get in gear and do a session with my boy!

He'll probably be walking the next time I see him!

And what kind of post would this be without a naked baby in a Santa hat? Happy Holidays!

I'll be back on later to post previews of my full sessions from this weekend.

L Family

Here is another family who braved the rain on Thursday for their session. Big Brother is the age that I used to teach, and he definitely made me miss being in the classroom. He was so polite and helpful with his sisters, who by the way are all super cute!

Shirley Temple Look-a-like

Rylee (who I think is a dead ringer for Shirley Temple!) came back to see me on Thursday. We braved the wet, muddy ground at Cannonsburgh as well as some pretty thick cloud cover, and got some great images. Rylee is such a sweet little girl. Usually this age is one of the hardest to photograph, but Rylee was a breeze!

Mom - enjoy!


This is a popular dress. It's the second time in a three days that I've photographed it!

I love shots like this. Right in the moment and such a part of what the child is really like. I couldn't plan this if I tried. I always feel so lucky to capture shots like this.

Look at those curls!

Sweet!

Rylee's grandma made this cape. Isn't it awesome?

Now off to prepare for my first session! I'll be back later to add my last session from Thursday and perhaps some from today.

Brother and Sister

I had a great session on Tuesday with super cute brother and sister duo. We had the session at their beautiful log home. Being the city girl that I am, I was definitely out of my element in the country. I had to stop for five - yes, five! - deer to cross the road on my way there! It's a good thing my husband wasn't with me because he would have tried to buy their house on the spot! Log cabin, wrap around porch, and lots of land - that's just his thing.

Thanks, guys, for inviting me into your home. Enjoy your preview!

Baby A had an amazing nursery. Actually all of the house was like something out of a magazine!

Stunning!

I just love all these red-headed blue eyed boys!

Meet Mary Kate. I was so tempted to pack her up with all my things and take her home!

Off to bed as it's almost 1:30 in the morning, and I have a session at 9:00 tomorrow, and one at 1:00, and then one at 3:00!! I'll be back on later this weekend to post more from my sessions yesterday.

Good night!

Exciting Phone Call!

I received the most wonderful phone call this morning from my canvas company. They are going to display two of my canvases at two very pretigious photography conferences around the nation! This is such an honor!

You may remember these images. Of course, it didn't hurt that the subject was so stinkin' cute!
