this is one of my favorites of the day -- love, love the shoes & laces - and he was just learning the cool skateboard tricks!






E loves to journal, so mom brought it and her pen along so we could capture her doing what she loves....... i think this image is just dreamy

love, love, love

i'm in love with love!! i love to be around people that are in love and i love the idea of being head over heels in love with someone. i admit i'm a hopeless romantic! (i still get goosebumps when i think of seeing my guy buying popcorn at that movie theatre 27 years ago - the movie was All of Me with Steve Martin and he was wearing good ole' levis - yes, you remember when they were the sevens of years ago!! oh see.....getting lost in my own romantic memory!!!) well, there is nothing better than being around a couple that are in love - except maybe for getting to photograph them!! I love being around these two not only because they are in love, but because they are so willing to let me experiment and really play - it makes our images that much better!! -- can't wait to capture their special day in January!

Some Big Shoes to Fill!

Every once in a while I get a request of people wanting to come to me and can I do "studio". I really am a natural-light photographer, but love the look of a white studio look - so clean, crisp and the focus is always on the subject alone and nothing to distract. So here goes - my version of a studio using natural light only - with the cutest two children. These two were so adorable! (I'm still giggling that after the first 2 shots, Big Sis' declares, "ok - I'm done!" lol!!! As you can tell, we were able to talk her into a few more!

It was great meeting you all! Thanks to Grandma for letting us sneak one in!

blog blitz continued.......

I can't believe this is my 3rd year to photograph C's holiday photos! She is growing into a young lady - and I am loving getting to see how beautiful and sweet and fun-spirited she is! When I first started photographing her, she didn't even say a word! Now she giggles and laughs and TALKS!!! She is so adorable! love getting to see you guys again! Happiest of holidays and I look forward to how much more of a conversation little Miss C and I will have next year!
