Angel face

Look at this little guy! Isn't he just beautiful? Those eyes, those lips, those tiny blond curls. We felt the angels wings were fitting. What do you think?

Thanks, Kathy! It was a pleasure meeting you and your baby boy.

Awwww! Cute little guy!

Beth and Brian brought their baby boy to me this evening; and I got to try out a bit of a different look for newborn portraits. I am known for my very dark, shadowy "low key" newborn portraits but have been wanting to try out a lighter approach -- maybe it's because spring is approaching? Anyway, I appreciate your letting me experiment with your baby! He was sweet as can be - if not a bit...headstrong! Here's a few to enjoy while you wait on your gallery.

Ballerinas - Part II

Here you go - previews from the afternoon sessions. Enjoy! (Your galleries will be ready sometime late next week. I'll email you when they are ready.)

A note about the one just below: I assure her mom that there are plenty of her not making this funny face (when I asked her to say "puppies!"). But it's so cute I had to share.

Ballerinas - Part I

Here's a preview for my latest ballerina portrait families. Thank you to all who took part - photographing your lovely children this weekend was fun - I love my job! (you can click on each image to see it better).

These are from morning sessions; afternoon's will follow later today.

9-week-old sweetie

Katie and Ryan drove from Liberty today to bring their baby girl for a session. How different it is to photograph a 9-week-old rather than a 9-day-old - her eyes were actually open for the entire session! They make such a great looking new family, don't you think? Thank, Katie and Ryan! I'll have your gallery ready in about a week; until then - enjoy! (you can click on each image to see them a bit better).

Wonderful couple; long drive

Amy and Tony, who live in Iowa, came to the studio today for a maternity session. I am so touched and honored that they chose me - Amy said she looked at many photographers' web sites and ultimately chose me. I'm so happy they did! I had such a good time photographing them. Doesn't Amy look a bit like Princess Diana?

Congratulations on your baby boy, Amy and Tony. Thank you so much for choosing me - I can not wait to show you your gallery. Here's a few while you wait.

New Maternity & Baby web site

I'm so excited to share with you my new web site devoted just to maternity, newborn and baby portraits. Please go look at it - I know many of my faithful blog readers will find their own babies there. Thanks to all of you who have given me these beautiful faces to photograph; and thank you for trusting me with the most precious of portraits. I appreciate you!

To find the new site, which I refer to as Center Stage Baby, click here: Center Stage Baby.

Look what arrived today, Krestin

Krestin - your purses arrived today and they are beautiful! I'll contact you about studio hours this coming week, but couldn't wait for you to see these beauties. Talk to you soon!
