Meet Brooklyn

Little Brooklyn is already 3 weeks old, and according to her parents the time has flown by!  She's gained a pound so far, and it was a little bittersweet for her mommy that Brooklyn is already growing up a tiny bit.  Who doesn't love newborns though!  They are just so sweet and so small!  Hard to believe that we all started out that size!

Brooklyn's parents love outdoor activities and had the idea of using this mini canoe as a prop in some of the photos-- what a great idea!!   I just loved it!!

Thanks for allowing me to photograph your family :)

Sweet Little Girl

So I met this really sweet little girl named Elise.  She's got really pretty brown hair and beautiful eyes.  And she is now sharing mommy's attention with her big brother Zeke, which I'm sure always takes a little getting used to, for a big brother.  :)   Elise's parents (JT and Danielle) are very active and giving of their time, and they lead a very full life.  But God is good and gives them the energy and strength that they need for it.  Thank you for all that you do!!

Rocker from Birth

Little Ryder Cash is bound to love the band Grateful Dead.  Both of his parents are big into their music, and his dad is actually a radio host of the "Grateful Dead Hour" on Friday nights at KOPN.  Ryder already owns his fare share of tie-dye and there will probably always be an abundance of that in their family.  Thank you Mike and Jess for being great to work with and for supplying some really creative prop ideas!

Mike and Jess created this collar as a Grateful Dead reference, and Ryder rocks it! :)

Little Miss Macy

I had the privilege of meeting this great family, the Gallatins.  They have a really intelligent and funny 3-year old named Dane (you should ask him to do his monster face), and a precious little newborn, Macy.  Macy was awake and alert for a lot of our time together, so we got some stunning shots of her beautiful eyes.  Thank you for allowing me to photograph your family :)

Beginning a Life Together

What an ideal scenario for an engagement shoot... beautiful day, beautiful yellow flowers and red leaves, beautiful friend Ashley and her handsome fiance Chris, and lots of easy smiles all around!  Thank you for allowing me to take these pictures of you all, and I'm looking forward to your wedding and your marriage!  (But I'm sure not as much as you are!!)

By the way-- this is the same Ashley who designed my new logo!!!  I just love it!!  Thanks Ashley :)
