Easter Bunny Pictures!

I am working on a special session.. it involves 2 precious baby bunnies for Easter/Spring pictures. Save Saturday March 31 and I will post details very soon!

newborn photo session

I have always adored photographing newborn babies, but it seems in the last year or so I have grown this deep passion for how important their little lives are and how important it is to have them photographed. Maybe it is with my children growing, now 3 years, 5 years, and 11 years, I have watched them transform from this unused, untouched, unlived soft pure skin with trust, into amazing people that have so many gifts, but pure trust starts to escape them more with each year. They are worried about things, they cry when something is taken away, they ask where we are going. They are anxious about school or tests or what will happen tomorrow. How amazing the language of a newborn. They trust. 

Which is why photographing them at this age is such a gift. They will sleep under a tree in a basket, they will rest their bodies all curled and twisted, they are formed by what we do and they trust us.

Welcome to the world Allie...

Sweet and beautiful baby, just entering this world. Let it be a place of thanks and beauty for you. 

Picture Perfect

This is the Hayden family. Not only am I posting this picture because of how sweet those little faces look, but I also wanted to give some tips on having your family photos done. I LOVED their choice of clothes and shoes.  It doesn't always have to be the same colors or match, just wear what is you. Wear what is special. My client said her friend gave her baby the little mermaid looking outfit. Normally people assume they should stick with a solid color, this was a busy pattern with a big pink flower and it was perfect. Her mommy put her boots on and we went out on their front porch. A place I am sure they spend plenty of time on. We drove over to one of their favorite parks. They said every Sunday daddy and Brooks (that handsome little boy) go to play on the playground there. 

It is not always what should be done that makes family photographs special, it is most of the time capturing what is special that make the photographs worth taking. Goodnight..xoxo

Babies Needed for Photo Project

Hi everyone! I have a project, an open call if you will. I have had a giant, hand crafted wood peace sign made to fit this vision and now I need your help. I need 10-15 babies newborn-3 months old of all different races and nationalities to be a part of this project. I will be choosing a day in April or June to shoot, depending on how long it takes to come with all of those babies, and we will spend the morning shooting all of these beautiful babies carefully tucked into my peace sign. You won't be paid, thats okay  because your babies are priceless anyways. You will receive something special from the finished project and will be helping us get the message of world peace out. Please email me if you can make it and I will give you more details. Please spread the word to anyone you know with a baby that age. Please email or send my info to anyone that can help find us babies too. Thank you!
