Let the voting begin!

Being that I love to photograph pregnant women, it was only natural that I have maternity portraits done as well, especially for my first baby. I turned to Ryan and Kelly Portnoy of Kellan Studios, not only because of their absolutely gorgeous work but because they are friends of mine who I knew my husband would love. I am so thankful for the memories that we have to now pass on to Delaney, and we even got to get some shots inside and on the roof of my studio! Click the link above to see their blog.

Aiden: Two

I love this little guy! I took Aiden's one-year portraits as well, and it turned out he was getting sick that day. This time, he was just plain sleepy. Not even his favorite m&m's could make him happy, but thankfully we got some great shots before he decided he wanted no part of my camera. Take a look~

Now I promise I did nothing here except take the picture. Aiden was walking along and promptly stopped, turned around, folded his arms, and smiled right at me. What a ham!

I had to get a shot of his chucks. They were new, by the way, so what does he do? Finds the nearest dirt pile and starts kicking away at it!

Thanks, Traci~looking forward to showing you the rest.

Cover Model Contest: Update

I've had a lot of emails sent my way regarding the cover model contest! What is happening right now is the entries are being compiled and the top ten are being chosen by a panel of voters. Once these ten are chosen, they will be posted on the blog for the public to vote on. This will be a quick process and the final winner will be chosen within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for our finalists!

Sophia: Newborn

Look at this sleeping beauty. Meet little Sophia, just two weeks old~she has a headful of beautifuly hair, a hearty appetite, and loves to be wrapped up nice and cozy!

We got a smile out of her!

Family: Four Generations

My friend Kerry had her family in for the Easter holiday and wanted to celebrate with photos of the four generations of women. There are five girls between Kerry and her sister! I'll give you a peek at the youngest of them...

Abigail: (Almost) Newborn

Meet baby Abigail! You may remember her mom Cynthia's maternity portraits from back in the fall. Abigail made her appearance in late November and I have been anxiously awaiting her session. She has grown so quickly!

Abigail wasn't her normally cheery self, but little did we know it was because she had big tricks up her sleeve. She rolled over for the very first time during our session together!

I knew this tutu and leggings would be perfect for Abigail, so I grabbed them from my stash...she seemed to like it!

This session was actually done in the new studio! We used the fabulous window light and old hardwood floors to get the right look for such a little one.
