mr. t {newborn session}

i just wanted to share a few images from a session a few months ago. i adore this sweet family and their new little addition is just perfect in every way. maybe it's the hair, or the round sweet face...but oh, how i wanted to take him home with me!! just reminded me so much of my two when they were new! mama is a friend from high school and i was thrilled when she contacted me to photograph this amazing time in her life. nothing sweeter than a new life and a loving family!

this is one of my favorite pictures i've ever snapped...

xo,

it has been so long since i have updated this space and yes, it is under construction...gettting revamped and a whole new look. fancified by this pretty lady! can't wait to see what kind of pretty she has up her sleeve! so i thought i would come on, say hi, and introduce myself...again! so you know the face that is behind the camera!

here i am...in all my new haircut, feeling rawr, glory! seriously, it had been so long since i had taken the time to get my hair cut and styled i forgot how incredibly amazing it feels...

he puts up with all my nonsense and photography talk. listening and smiling and nodding along. what a sweet, sweet man. {not to mention he is a pretty amazing daddy and, well, not too hard on the eyes ;) ...of course, i might be a bit biased!}

two...

my two. life has been crazy the past few weeks with surgery and bouncing the kids around from grama to grama. mostly because there was no way i could take care of them until i had recovered a bit more and bo had to take care of me, right?! so glad to be back on my feet with my two favorite sidekicks! turns out they were not in the photo mood tonight, but i still got a few that i adore of my two.

what i've been up to...

my poor blog. i have been totally slack. a lot going on, life, i guess. i have been shooting a bit here and there and wanted to share some recent work!

i went to high school and middle school with keith. we reconnected through facebook and he is getting married this weekend to a super sweet girl. they are adorable together and i had so much fun taking some engagement shots for them! can't wait for the wedding this weekend! congrats you two!

here are a few cuties i met up with!

and a couple who got married! i second shot for a friend and this was my favorite from the day! they were the sweetest couple and oh so in love!

hippie baby

i can't even begin to tell you how much i LOVE photographing newborns. it is my absolute favorite! this sweet little guy came and spent part of the morning with me the other day and he was just absolutely precious! i sort of wanted to keep him....

his parents were absolutely adorable, so totally my style and up for whatever! he wasn't very sleepy, but i managed to talk him into a little catnap for a few sleepy shots. so glad i did, i even caught a little dreamy smile...such a doll baby!

& that tie dye onesie...swoon!
there are so many more, but had to share a few faves so far!

brotherly love...

these two boys were so adorable and so much fun to photograph! they are both all boy and full of fiestiness {is that even a word?!} i went to high school with their mom and it was so fun to see her again after several years! She even brought along nanny to get in on the action! i think this session just oozes summer...i just love boys! my friend shelley also came along & i'm so glad she did! she is a pro at getting those smiles and giggles, silly girl!
