.Max.

Sweet Max. I was so happy to be contacted by Max's mom, to help him document turning one. One round little man + stylish newsboy cap + two adoring parents = one happy me! What a gorgeous family...inside and out! Here is your sneak peek--I hope you love what you see!

2010 {Recap}

So, I couldn't possibly shove all of my favorite images of 2010 into one itty bitty slide show, so I picked sort of willy nilly. All of these images make me smile, for one reason or another. Thank you to my wonderful family, my friends, clients and supporters. This is for you. (Btw, I know it is February, and most good little girls post these things around New Years. *ahem* Isn't that part of my charm??)

.Life in a Snowglobe.

Eeek! I haven't blogged since Thanksgiving! Well, jingle bells. To make up for that, I am going to blog a few faves from a recent session in the snow.

Meet the 'M' family. I met them at a beautiful location on a chilly afternoon, and it started snowing. As our session went along, it snowed harder and harder. It was gorgeous. As was this sweet family of six. {I am partial to families of six!}

What I love most is that these folks are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside.

I hope all of you are enjoying this holiday season, and remember to take a deep breath, slow down and soak up the ones you love.

[PS--the mamma here is the owner of the one and only Yum-Yum Shoppe, a wonderful company specializing in fresh-baked bath and body goods. I personally use these products and they are where it's at!! Go check her out.]

It all started...

when these two people fell in love:



They created this beautiful family together...





...and I am so glad to be a little part of their story!

♥ family ♥

How I loved working with this sweet family! We literally shot right in between thunderstorms...it was even raining on the way there! Makes for some pretty light though!

can you say sweet?

This lovely family is no stranger to this blog. These sweet children are so dear to me! I really feel like I've watched them grow up. :)

I will let the photos do the rest of the talking.

{PS--this blog post is brought to you via peeking around and over boxes. My family moved on Saturday, and we are in the thick of unpacking! Woot!}













{ I LOVE these real life moments: }

How lucky am I? Two lovely little princesses twirling in the golden hour of sunlight:

Puppy-Love

Meet Jeremy. He is responsible for the rockin' new slideshow flash header here on the blog. Also in these photos are his pup, his girlfriend, and her pup. When working with kanines...it is always an adventure! However, I'm happy we walked away with these shots. Enjoy your sneak peek, guys! (and I LOVE the header!) Ü

.dear ones.

This family has graced my blog before. This is one of my dearest friends and most long-time clients. (and her beautiful family!) Her kiddos sure love the camera and the camera loves them back!
