Kerry and Steve

Today I had the distinct pleasure of documenting Kerry and Steve's journey into parenthood. Kerry is currently 28+ weeks pregnant with her first, second, and third child(ren)!  That's right...they're expecting triplets. And these are three very lucky little ones; Mom is doing all she can to ensure they are kept safe and sound. Even though Kerry is confined to her hospital bed, she has an amazingly positive attitude and bright spirit. I was honored to photograph this lovely family during such a special time.

Another Sweet Pea has Arrived

Introducing...baby Adam! I was more than delighted to visit the Schilz family once again as they welcomed baby Adam into the family. He was a joy to photograph, just as his older brother was 2 1/2 years ago. Thank you Christine and Justin for inviting me into your home to capture such a special memory. You can't help but smile at this little one.

Proud Big Sister

It always melts my heart when a Big Brother or Sister lights up when you ask about their new baby. Miss Jordan is no exception, and was more than excited to show off her new brother. Capturing the tenderness between them was a treat, especially once Grayson was all tuckered out. Jordan was a spectacular model, letting her sweet-self shine through during our entire session! Thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture such incredible moments. 

My Goddaughter, Miss E, turned 4 years old last month. We headed out to the park for a fun session, and got in some great shots before the mosquitos started eating us alive. Miss E was a great sport, and I think we all had a good time :)

Look who's ONE!

The adorable Miss Payton turned one this past September.  We had a lovely indoor/outdoor session last Sunday.  While the weather may have been a little dreary and cool, Payton was anything but!  We captured plenty of giggles and grins...take a look.

A tiny survivor...

Becky and Kevin welcomed their new daughter Ella into the world on June 9th.  After a long week in the NICU the proud parents were able to bring Ella home where she belongs.  I was honored to capture this beautiful family and their miracle baby during her first few weeks of life. Everyone is doing well, and Ella was a joy to photograph. Congratulations!! 

 

Oh the weather outside WAS frightful...

...but the mini-sessions were still delightful! With the poor weather on Saturday, I was amazed that ANYONE was able to make it their scheduled mini-sessions. There were a few brave souls that ventured out into the snow, and here's a little preview:

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

A little rain never hurt anyone, right? It sure did not stop Miss Grace and Princess Isabella from looking CUTE as ever. We were able to complete the majority of our session before the brief downpour last Saturday morning. Both Grace and Bella were a joy to work with, as usual. It has been wonderful to see how they have grown and changed this year.

Welcome Baby George

Ladies, isn't he a handsome little guy? Baby George made his grand entrance on Wednesday, July 30, 2008. He took a few hours out of his busy schedule to meet with me last Friday. The whole family is doing well, and big brother Hercules is a very proud puppy.

B is for Birthday

What could be better than balloons, cake and Birthday fun? Twice the balloons, cake and fun! August is Birthday month for Mikayla, Caden and the whole family. Big sister Mikayla is so full of personality, she truly made my job easy. While Caden was very eager to show off how quick he is on his feet. It has been a pleasure watching these two cuties grow and change over the past year and a half.

Sugar & spice, and everything nice...

...that's what little girls are made of--and Emma is no exception!

I don't like to brag, but my niece Emma is just too cute to keep to myself. Her personality is really shinning through as she approaches her second birthday. If she had a song, it would probably be 'Miss Independent' (by Kelly Clarkson). Stay tuned for many more 'Emma' posts in the coming months.
