I have been working on something special for my clients – a private page with ideas on how you can best display the photos from our session on your family’s walls! This will be available only to clients, but I wanted to share just a couple of them with you. There are many options (some for stairways, over couches, wall shelves, etc.) and I can even put your images directly inside the frames so you can see exactly what it will look like hanging on your wall! Pretty neat!
(Previous clients, the BIGGER IS BETTER promotion would be perfect if you’re considering updating a wall in your home – it ends June 5th!)
Here’s one for above the fireplace:
This one could go anywhere, but would look great above a couch or on a hallway wall:
And an example of what you can do with just two photos above a coffee table or wall shelf:
There are many more options, so be sure to ask me if you are looking to re-decorate your walls with beautiful images of your family!

This sweet little girl was born just after her daddy returned from Iraq – you can see their Homecoming here – and I met her just a week after she was born. A quick 2 1/2 hour labor (wow!) brought this tiny babe into the world. She’s the second princess in this family, but clearly loved so much!
I have a photo just like this first one of my two little ones – it’s hanging BIG on my wall and I adore it. I’ve wanted to try this pose for a while, and during this session it just seemed perfect!
And she slept so well that I was able to do some poses with her mommy and daddy that I have not been able to try before. I posted one of these on my Facebook Fan Page asking whether the color or black and white was your favorite. I think the black & white finally won out!!
As you can see, this little peanut was so easy to pose and I had a terrible (terribly good!) time narrowing down pictures for this sneak peek! Oh, and she SMILED for me!! Newborn smiles are the absolute sweetest thing – pure and beautiful and just perfect.

I first met this cutie pie when she was still in her mommy’s belly and we were in childbirth classes together. A year and a half later, she’s turning 1 and I was thrilled to be asked to record her first cake smash in celebration of the big day! She arrived to my home studio with this to-die-for green tutu (who doesn’t love etsy.com?) and it was all I could do to not “accidentally” hide it so that it stayed with me. 
And then she got to the cake! She was probably the smiliest (is that a word?) cake smasher I’ve had yet – a girl after my own heart! When these images started popping up on my computer during my download process, I immediately knew that this would be my favorite – just love that expression!
We really did have a cake smashing good time – can’t wait to get to the rest of these soon! Stay tuned, mom and dad!

This couple’s time with me felt more like an engagement session than a maternity session! They are so cute together and I can tell that they already are so in love with their baby boy who will be born sometime in July. It was really fun to hang out with them - but we had to be careful to stay out of the way of three weddings down on the beach (Note to self: Saturday sessions in May/June should not be held at the beach!) and I got to experiment a little with the gorgeous light at sunset.
It was so hard for me to choose my favorites from this session, so I’m “sneak peeking” a bit more than usual.
Aren’t they just so sweet?!
Thanks, again, guys for being patient with me as I played with my camera, laid in the sand, and generally made a fool of myself! Hope you like the results!
