Luke turns ONE!

Luke is a baby like none other for me. His Momma was my very first Maternity client. Then I got the wonderful privilege of photographing her labor, and then I shot Luke's newborn photos, and then again at 3 weeks. The very first photo I put on this Blog was of a baby laying on a piano bench, with the sheet music to He's Got The Whole World In His Hands spread out on the piano. Luke was that baby!
And now he's a year old. ~sniff~ I love this little man!!

Photographer Shoot-out

I had the pleasure of meeting with a group of local photographers, and grab some dinner and go out shooting together. It was so fabulous to be with other photographers and see them in action! Here are a few from that shoot. {Theses are all kids of the photographers}

Baseball time!

Fall ball is in full swing! I have not ventured into Sports Photography much at all, so please consider this as the VERY beginner stage. :) Our daughter, Olivia is one of only 2 or 3 girls in this league and she is having a blast. So, here she is, in only her second game, ever.

A Beautiful Beginning....

Here are the final photos from a Birth I was fortunate enough to photograph this summer. If you've seen a few of these before, you are not crazy...I did post a few rough edits earlier this summer. Getting to be there for a young couple, bringing a new life into this world, is truly an amazing experience. Enjoy and welcome baby Delilah! :)

Sweet Siblings

These 3 kids were so sweet with each other! It was such a pleasure to photograph them, under very secret circumstances. This was a surprise, for their daddy for Father's Day this year. As I was pulling out of the driveway, I got about 2 houses away when their daddy passed me in his car. We were ~thisclose~ to being busted!

Ava Grace {Newborn Photography}

You might remember my beautiful Maternity Client, Heila from this photo shoot earlier in the summer. Ava is that little bundle, now gracing us with her perfect presence. She was just perfect for me and aside from being awake for the first 5 minutes, she slept so soundly, and was putty in my hands for 2 hours!

Here's just a little peek into that session {more to come later}...
