Something a Little Different...

Well, the day I have dreaded for so long has finally arrived... Dylan has come down with an acute case of PKS. For those not "in the know" PKS is Photographer Kid Syndrome. What this means is that my smiling, impish, fun-loving little boy now refuses to look at me if the "black box of torture" (aka my Nikon D300) is anywhere in the vicinity. And no amount of calling his name, yelling "uh-oh," singing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider," making silly noises, or other previously successful (albeit embarassing) tricks will entice him to glance my way - let alone smile. So this Saturday I decided to try something different. I took Dylan to the park and took non-smiling, no-eye-contact pictures. I've only processed one so far. What do you think?

My Little Man

These pictures are actually from back in January. I thought I had posted them back then, but I just looked around and I don't see them on the blog so... here they are! Better late than never, right? ;)

Isn't he a handsome devil? I'm hoping to get him out to the park again this weekend for some updated pics.

Sneak Peek: Triple Feature

Meet Meredith, her brother Noah, and their new cousin Connor. Meredith and Noah have appeared here on the blog before, but this is Connor's debut! :)

Sneak Peek: Jake

How cute is he?! Jake wasn't too sure about getting his picture taken, but stickers (as you can see in the third picture) helped! ;)

Sneak Peek: Jeanne-Marie

Well, as y'all may have noticed I'm behind in my sneak peeks again! So this is actually a post-peek, but I wanted to share anyway. So here's Jeanne-Marie:



Do you think she loves that giraffe? ;)

Sneak Peek: Becky and Wes

Becky and Wes are expecting their first baby - a girl! Stay tuned... newborn photos to come...

Sneak Peek: Maylee

Sweet baby girl! As mom to a boy (and I strongly suspect about to be mom to 2 boys!) I have to get my fill of all things girly through my photography. Maylee was 10 days old for our session and none to willing to sleep for me. But we held out and eventually she gave in to sweet baby dreams...

Maternity Leave

As many of you know, I'm currently expecting my second child. Baby D: The Sequel is estimated to arrive May 29! In light of this momentous occasion (and my expectation of the swollen feet and aching back to come), the last date that I will be taking sessions is the weekend of April19th/20th. That will give me time to process the images and get them into online galleries for you by early May at the latest. The last day to place orders will be Friday, May 16. (Keep in mind that if you pay by check, the payment must be received before the order can be placed with the lab.) I currently only have a few session dates still available before my leave so if you are interested in scheduling a session, please let me know as soon as possible. I will resume sessions approximately 4-6 weeks after the baby arrives so keep an eye out here for updates (and baby pictures!)

Sneak Peek: Jacques

Is there anything sweeter than a newborn? Little Jacques was 4 weeks old and already pretty alert, but he was amazingly content during our session. And he has the coolest nursery that you may ever see!

Check out this nursery!

Sneak Peek: Kelly

I recently had the pleasure of photographing little Kelly. Kelly is two years old and always on the go, go, go! But have you ever seen such gorgeous blue/green eyes?
