I'm excited to share some highlights from a recent session. I keep falling in love with more and more babies. This baby girl was such a gentle and easy going little girl! I am looking forward to meeting and photographing more babies in 2016!

Baby Braylee was recently in the studio. Our last several babies have been boys so it was a real pleasure to dress up Braylee in a variety of accessories that complimented her natural beauty! Just thinking of accessories makes me laugh because my own one year old loves pony tails. We can't leave the house anymore without her hair done, her disney dress up heels on and a purse on her shoulder! Do you or your daughter have any favorite accessories? I'd love to hear about them!

You never know how sibling shots will go... sometimes great, sometimes a little less than great and other times, simply PERFECT! These two were a dream. Isn't he photographic? He has such a super hip look with his gorgeous black-framed glasses! The antique stroller is one of my favorite props. Fur adds a great texture and dimension to portraits.
