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 […]

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 […]

At this very moment, I am sitting in a labor & delivery room awaiting the arrival of a new life!  In a few hours, a woman will become a mother for the first time.  Today will be Mother’s Day for her! Motherhood is such an amazing thing – and I spent some time with some […]

———————————– The Cutest Kid Contest surpassed my wildest expectations – more entries, more votes, more of everything!  I am thrilled that so many people were interested in having their children photographed by me.  And, just for the record, flattery gets you everywhere.  🙂 I appreciate your patience in waiting all weekend for the results – […]

—————————- My Spring minisessions were so much fun!  They were originally scheduled for the weekend before Easter, but because of chilly weather, we decided to move them back a bit. Oh, and I found a new “prop” – this awesome wing chair – at a thrift store for *gasp* $6.87!  Isn’t it divine? You might […]

———————————– This little readhead’s Daddy has been deployed for a few months already and his mommy was one of the first to contact me about an Operation: Love ReUnited session.  (To read more about how I donate my time to Operation: Love ReUnited, visit my OpLove page!)  Luckily, our schedules matched up and I was […]

————————————- I am just LOVING our recent sunny weather! This gorgeous family met me in Norfolk for their session this past weekend (after we’ve had to reschedule multiple times this winter – they were one of my contest winners from my 2010 Launch!!) and I was so excited to finally get a chance to photograph […]

First Prize will receive the FREE photo session, mini-print package, and 5 websize Facebook images (Value: over $175) Second […]

——————————– Tonight is the last night for entering your child in my Cutest Kid Contest…and while I have really enjoyed seeing all of your adorable munchkins, I just had to share one of my own.  It’s a good thing (for you all 😉 ) that I am not entering my own kids in this contest […]

This young guy was a dream to photograph!  His mom said her main objective from this session was to get a “non-cheesy” smile, so I brought along a little airplane to break the ice.  I love how this shows the imagination and playfulness of a boy: Even though it was pretty chilly, we sure got […]
