miss a.

What a wonderful session I had this morning with this little cutie! We decided that a little snow and ice was not going to stop us! I photographed little miss A as a newborn and it was so great to see her again at now 1-years-old. We went to the Durham for this session and it now has to be my new favorite indoor spot... so many options!

three.

This mommy-to-be is almost due with baby #3. What an exciting time for this family of girls to soon have a new little brother to play with.

Oh my... I have been having some major computer issues but thanks to good friends things are working again. Anyways, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful 7 month old last week. I LOVE her hat and little diaper ruffle... she was so much fun.

comfort.

Little Miss K was most comfortable in her mommy's arms... she wasn't quite sure what to think of me and my big black camera! We managed to even snap a few pics outside which seems so crazy considering Christmas is right around the corner.

proud.

Little Miss A is about to become a big sister! She looks so proud. So many new babies about to be born. It looks like we will see some precious new faces coming soon in 2009.

blessed.

I have been photographing this little guy since he was inside his mommy's tummy. Now, he will soon be the big brother of TWINS!

3 months.

Just look at what I get to kiss on everyday! I cannot believe he is already 3 months old. His little personality is starting to show and I love watching him discover his world around him. Charlie is absolutely amazing!

contagious.

We were blessed with another gorgeous day for this session. I love looking at these images... she still holds that childhood innocence that we never want our children to lose and wish we could bottle up forever. I enjoyed walking through the park with Miss M... her energy, friendliness and smile were contagious!

giving thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a day to give thanks... to acknowledge and remind ourselves of how blessed we are in life. So today, I give thanks for:

My family... this year has been filled with new life, happiness and broken hearts. It has been a year of change for us all and even though it has been overwhelming joyful at times it has been just as equally rough. But, through it all I feel so extremely blessed to be a part of so much love. Today is tough... my family is redefining itself and this new definition is not easy. However, with change brings joy, new happiness and strength.

Now, for all of the little things that make me smile... coffee, my baby's first smile, superhero underwear, pictures, music, my son's imagination and his amazing adventures he takes daily inside himself, new markers, my husband's smell, sisters and my parent's.

Let's get to today's sneak peek... I am also extremely thankful for all of my clients and the relationships that I get to build with your children and families. Here are two cuties that have come back this year and I just love their dark eyes and sweet smiles.

Happy Thanksgiving!

gasp.

I had a great time photographing this little beauty. We did a lot for one session but little miss L did such an amazing job through it all. I gasped when I saw this first image and new right away, before even looking through all the rest, that it was my favorite. I LOVE it!

freedom.

Wow... I normally don't show this many images in a sneak peek but I just couldn't stop myself. I had so much fun with this beautiful family. Working with older children tends to allow more freedom with creativity and these boys were definitely creative. They have such different personalities and I love how these images capture their individuality, the love that radiates within this family and all the fun they have together!

cold.

It was a cold day for this family session. But, we didn't let the drizzle or cold stop us from venturing out for some pics. I love the coats and how the hats frame these little faces.

sunshine.

I just love her curly red hair and little pink coat. We managed to have a day with some sunshine and little miss a did so well in the cool weather.

on the move.

I love everything about this little guy! He had me on the move and gave me the best facial expressions throughout our time together. When I look at these images I just smile... this is what it is all about.

I love this... he looks so bored with me. "Hey lady, are we done yet?"
