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?

Sneak Peek: Jackson

Part of my New Year's resolution is to be a better blogger. One of the ways I plan to accomplish that goal is by posting more sneak peeks of recent sessions before the galleries are released. So without further ado, meet Jackson...

Jackson just learned how to pout... how cute is that?!

Peek-a-boo!

Here's my Pats fan.... go Pats!

Triplets!

I'm sad to confess that I've been a very, very bad blogger. It's been 2 months since my last post. Ooops! That means that there's lots of cute faces I need to catch up on here. (Will you forgive me if I tell you that I'm pregnant? The exhaustion is killing me!) But I had an unusual session at the beginning of January and I've had several requests to share it here. Why was it unusual? Well if you read the title of this post, you already know! It was three sweet, darling, (and not-at-all-sleepy when I wanted them to be) boys. :) So without further blathering on my part, here they are:

What could be sweeter than three boys in a basket?

I think he's sticking his tongue out at me!

"Aaaah, I finally got bro #3 out of here so I can get comfy."

(sigh) Wide awake...

Still wide awake...
"Is she done yet? Now, I'm sleepy."
THIRTY toes!!!

As a side note, you'll notice that all of the ones I posted here are black and white. Very unusual for me... I'm usually more of a color girl. But there's just something about newborns that begs for the classic feel of black and white. Don't you agree?
