Her mom told me she slept a lot, and when I first came, she said Miss R. had been awake most of the day. Great- we’ll be sure to get lots of sleeping shots, right? Well, it wasn’t quite that easy…. It was a wide awake day. But I LOVE the intense gazes, and in the end we got some sleeping ones, too.
I had so much fun spending time with Mr. E. and his family! He has such a cheery personality, and couldn’t have been better to me. These images of him just make me smile!
I had the pleasure of photographing Miss I. at such a beautiful place- her grandparents’ home. They have dream landscaping- ponds, gardens, wildflowers. It was a pleasure to spend time exploring there. A perfect spot for Miss I.- I think you’ll agree she is stunning!
And I call this one ‘lots of dots’ : )
I’m not one who likes to rush the holiday season, and we’ve waited a long time for this summer weather, so we won’t talk Christmas long! But, I just had to show you some of the beautiful new Christmas cards I’m going to offer this year. I put together some samples- there are a few to show you here, and a catalog on the website. From modern to shabby chic, traditional and not-so, there’s a style for everyone.
The web catalog can be found at Christmas cards
Quick scheduling note- all summer weekends are booked through mid-September. If you’re interested in a fall weekend session, I’m now scheduling those.
She’s only four months old, but she has places to go and a big wide world to see! Miss A. doesn’t hold still for long (and is amazingly strong for her age), but I did get a few glimpses of these intense eyes-
Her mom and dad made her face light up every time- so cute!
