This little guy is the cousin of this little girl, but he decided to come about three weeks early, so he was quite a bit smaller than she! He was SO good to me though and is SO loved by his parents. I always encourage clients to bring in personal things, so this pair brought in a canvas of themselves and their dog they’d had done earlier. Love it! I know you can barely see it, but that dog in just as happy as can be. It cracked me up!

Amongst other various things. But newborn babies, being loved and adored, and kissed and held by their parents….THAT makes me smile. I love being able to SEE love on the faces of parents. There is nothing like it. There is no question that this little guy is loved. He is loved fully and completely by his parents. The way they hold him ever so gently. They way they work together to get him dressed and soothe him. They way they just stare at him. Yes, friends, this baby, he is LOVED!

There is something special about photographing couples that are really in love.  You catch their meaningful glances and gazes.  It really is such an honor to be a part of that experience.  This family was no exception.  They were casual and playful with one another and we had a great time walking around five points together.   Don’t miss big brother’s karate moves in that last picture…he was a riot!

There’s nothing quite like a photo session right in your own front yard.  We spent a beautiful fall afternoon at this family’s home.  This sweet girl is my own daughter’s classmate and she was delighted to show me all around her home.   Aren’t those fall colors in their yard amazing?!

Right outside our five points studio, that is! The pops of color just work great with the local urban feel. Check it out, even the dog matches!

Mom was all worried about how the clothes were going to be and how the kids were going to act.. I get there and she’s got the outfits well in hand (didn’t she do a good job?) and the kids are hilarious the whole time. It was super easy for everyone.

This is my BFF and her family. All of you people who love my work can thank her for giving me the support to start in this business. Without this woman right here, I would not be taking photos for a living. Her boys and husband are as amazing as she is too!
