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 […]

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 […]

Time for another giveaway!  I have been tossing around a lot of ideas in my head lately – even started a notebook full of contest and giveaway ideas…and settled on this one for my previous clients (my favorite people!).  You know I’ve been pressuring you suggesting that you start thinking about GOING BIG, so this […]

A tiny little baby girl visited my home studio this week and boy, was it an adventure!  I told her mom and dad that I always expect my things to get…well, let’s just say messy…when newborns are to be photographed, but this little pooper princess sure left her mark!  Good thing I’m a mommy, too, […]

I received the most amazing e-mail recently from one of my OpLove clients.  His wife wanted to surprise him with the album of photos, so she didn’t tell him about our session and he opened the package to find a Spiral Bound album filled with photos of his two beautiful girls.  Here is the e-mail […]

A dear friend of mine gave birth a year ago to a sweet little big baby girl {she had to copy me by birthing a 9lb 10oz baby just two months after I did it :)!} and today, that sweet baby girl is ONE!  She came over for some good cake smashing fun this week […]

I don’t often share photos of my own children on the blog – but saw the title “Mine on Monday” on another photographer’s blog and realized I had just the photos – and the story to go with it – to share with you today! I must admit that I haven’t taken nearly the number […]

These girls arrived in the cutest flower dresses – I love when outfits coordinate but don’t match exactly!  I am posting this sneak peek super quick since I know that these little girls’ daddy is leaving this week for a 7 month deployment and I want him to be sure to have seen these! I […]

This birth was so much fun – yes, I said FUN!  When I arrived to the hospital, the mom-to-be was in the throes of labor pains, and moving very quickly.  For a first time mom, she was a pro!  But once her epidural kicked in, it wasn’t long before the jokes and laughter took over.  […]

When I saw that this week’s challenge on i heart faces was “Celebrating Mom”, I was planning to enter one from my recent Mommy & Me Minisessions.  But then, yesterday, I witnessed (and photographed!) a precious new baby’s entrance into the world.  And as my photos downloaded onto the computer last night, I spied this […]
