Little Girls...and more little Girls...

I have been just blessed and flooded with little girls in & out of the studio recently! They are just so darn...cute! I love every single image that I've captured! Fun, vibrant and so full of life... I'm going to have to give an award out for the 'Jess Challa' little girl of the year! Cast your vote here! I just can't choose one...

lately....part 1 & Superman!

Ok, so I haven't posted any 'lately's' in a while. I was so excited with this family. The mom was referred to me from a colleage of hers who met me a few weeks back. As the story goes, she immediately checked out my website, contacted me & I responded. We corresponded by email initially, then finally by phone. As we spoke on the phone, something about her voice reminded me of someone I knew. I couldn't place it. I asked where she lived, she told me, I said 'you sound familiar'...and then it hit....we knew each other....! Such a small, small world... of course we exchanged the 'Oh my gosh's'! & 'I can't believe its you's'! until we were blue in the face. I was immediately so excited, I couldn't wait to meet their two little boys. Mom thought there was no way I captured anything...these boys were on the move! Luckily, I have had a couple years experience of being a Mom myself, so I let them think they were one up on me...a little 'Mom' trick of my own. sssshh.. don't tell, but that is the secret...let them think they are in control! So here is to my little 'Superman' - hope you found the right one!

Families from Coast to Coast...

This family is spread from one side of the state to the other! I was so excited to photograph this family. They are very funny & surprisingly, very willing participants! I enjoyed myself so much that I stayed an hour longer than I anticipated because they had so many fantastic spots at their home to photograph and they were game for anything. Beautiful home, but more importantly, beautiful people! Thanks guys!

Ms. Caroline

Her mommy so wants her to be the perfect little girl...and she really is! I love photographing this family. They are some of my favorite people. This session made me work and mom was sweating along with me. But Ms. Caroline & I slipped out of the room and I just let her play...and this is one while we were 'playing'. Thanks for driving over here guys!

Tator...




That was the little girls nickname! And that baby...what a beautiful family! I just recently had the pleasure of meeting them. I have never photographed a family who had so much fun with each other. They were a blast to work with and so easy going. Here are just a couple from our session... I had so many to chose from, it was very, very hard to pick. Enjoy...
