Precious…..

August 27, 2010

This little scrumptious bundle of joy sure loved to sleep — well maybe not in the middle of the night! Nevertheless he struck a few poses and knodded off to sleep. He is adorable and I am thrilled for his parents. It seems like yesterday his mother told me she was expecting. I guess this is another reminder to me of how quickly time passes. Here’s a quick glimpse of his his session….






Susan and Mark…..

Last month I shot a gorgeous, beach wedding followed by a back yard reception. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended. There was so much love in the air and I think the images below reflect that. The bride looked spectacular as did her girls. I was completely in awe by all the special details of the day — all prepared by the bride. We had not even met until their day but yet it seemed like I had known them before — it’s crazy how that can happen! They were so nice and welcoming. I wish them a lifetime of happiness.  Thanks for letting me share in your day!  Checkout their preview…..





Excuse me….

Oh my goodness!!! I must have sounded completely crazy the other night. While you would never know it based on the fantastic expressions below, the little guy was very reluctant to sport a smile! I should say EXTREMELY reluctant! He wanted no part of the camera at all! We talked about Thomas the Train, Diego, Dora, Santa Claus, fire engines, police cars, motor cycles, etc. — nothing mattered! That was until I let out a roar of a burp! Yes that’s right — I belched to get him to smile and laugh! Before you think it was accidentall and I was just covering for myself, I promise it was completely planned. It was my final attempt to get a smile before I stood on my head (and of course it would have been pretty hard for me to snap any pics standing on my head! lol In any event, my efforts worked. He smiled, and I got some terrific shots. These little ones are absolutely adorable and while, it may not be a great thing, I can now add “deliberate belching” to my repertoire of ways to make children laugh and avoiding those fake smiles that result from saying “cheese”!!! (I hate saying chesse — it does NOT work!) Well here you have it…… a a few burps that resulted in some great shots! Oh and by the way, I did say “excuse me”! ha ha ha




Meet Nolan…..

What a handsome little baby he is! I was fortunate to be able to meet him and his family the other day. This little guy perfomed so well in front of my camera, and we had so much fun. This session was another example of why I just love my job — it is so much fun to be working (if you can even call it that) and meet such nice people! I am grateful to love what I do and for all the wonderful people I meet along the way. Here are some highlights from my time with Nolan — trust me there are many more!



Thank heaven….

for little boys! Oh I couldn’t agree more. Here’s one of my favorite shots from this little guy’s session. I have a bunch to show later but couldn’t resist posting this one now.
