Happy Early Valentine’s Day…

January 30, 2010

…from this little cutie pie who is already 8 months old!  This is his third session with me and it has truly been a pleasure watching him go from a tiny baby ontop of a sleeping dog, to a little cowboy who fit snug in a basket, to this absolutely happy baby!

Again, all his mom’s idea here for the kiss!

Very happy to be up and moving about!

And then I thought he was all worn out and gave all the classic signs of being ready for a nap…

Until he suddenly sat up and did this! (no complaints here)

That story his mom was telling me about him waking up the night before at 3am to play must have really been amusing to him :)

P.S. This session fee was FREE for this family and they have a $40 referral credit ontop of that to use as well. Why? Because they’ve referred a million people to me! Okay, not a million really but I have a really generous referral program… ask me about it!

Schedule and Mini-Sessions Update

January 24, 2010

Spring is almost here! Thank goodness because I’ve got a major case of cabin fever.

I’m planning a mini-session for the first day of Spring on Saturday, March 20th at Strawberry Hill Nature Center in Fairfield, PA. I’m still working out one more key detail but I will structure these similarly to my Christmas Tree mini-sessions. All digital, 1/2 hour-45 minutes and files available for download in a week. Price is the same at $275.00.

Also a quick note to you let you know that I’m now booking for May sessions. Feb, March and April are booked. I will be taking 2 weeks off in Feb to catch up on business related things that I just didn’t get time to do when January’s bookings came so fast.

If you are interested in taking advantage of some beautiful Spring color, May is the perfect month. Don’t delay!

Happy winter!

New Baby Sister

January 24, 2010

…and an awesome new big brother!  I had been waiting for this little girl to make her entrance and wow, was she ever worth the (long!) wait.  So beautiful and so perfect for me today.  Her big brother was beaming with pride and as I expected, gave me the sweetest smiles.

I had to include this next one here because both of their expressions made me smile!

Too cute for words

January 18, 2010

I love the 6-9 month age!  They are typically so happy, full of baby rolls, with little personalities emerging through… and better yet, they usually can not run away from me or crawl away from me yet!  Little Miss K was the perfect example yesterday of this.  She is so adored by her parents and well quite honestly, I adore her now too!

I have waited almost 3 years for a piggie toes shot like this!  I love everything about this, the colors, the hat, the fact that she’s in her nursery and the sweet baby girl especially.

Winter Mini-Maternity Session

January 11, 2010

First of all, a HUGE thank you to these wonderful parents-to-be for driving so far to meet me outside yesterday in the 20 degree cold and for not complaining at all! It WAS definitely cold but they were so happy to be together and anticipating their little one coming soon. I really love snow (I must have said it 10 times!) so much so that I planned my December wedding in hopes that I would get some, and we did! It always adds a little magic to photos. Any way, I digress here… I can’t wait to meet this little one arriving soon and I’ll be looking forward to hanging out with mom and dad again who kept me laughing the entire time!

My favorite of the day. This little courtyard with snow was pretty much untouched and I loved the privacy it gave us. IMG_9809
Come for a winter session with a chic hat, scarf mittens and I am a happy photographer. Who says maternity sessions downtown in the snowy winter isn’t gorgeous?? I love it!

This is a special hand knitted blanket for baby that I can’t wait to do an after shot with!

Happy Birthday Girl

January 10, 2010

This beautiful girl is one already!  I photographed her parents’ maternity session and her newborn photos and now look at her all grown up into a beautiful little girl.  I have to say, having a red-head myself, I think her hair is absolutely gorgeous.  It was such a pleasure helping her celebrate her day today!

Can I just stop for a minute and talk about how perfect this storyboard is??!!!

This is the only shot I managed to get with her birthday party hat on… really sweet that her first word was duck so they had duck themed party! Too bad for me she was not feelin’ the hat this morning :)
