baby cash.

sweetest boy ever and might have been my easiest client of the year. 

i died over his many different faces and those baby blue eyes were not edited one bit. 

meet this dreamboat.

Ballstaedt Family

This family could not be more beautiful, inside and out.

Lisa and I go waaaaaay back and I love that we get to be mommies together.

Baby Gemma is a dream baby and those blue eyes will melt anyone's heart.

Days like this on the beach with awesome friends is what makes my job so great. 

keely.

This sweet babe has the best baby rolls around and she is the talk of the town.

I loved spending time with this family and capturing this precious angel.

sienna.

so...here is the recipe for a girly one year photo shoot: pink lace, pearls, tutus & balloons.

isn't she darling?

love this last shot. the epitome of proud parents. 

Recent Work. {AKA Photo Dump}

Well, here you have it. 

A random selection of my recent work, mostly from last year.

The truth is, I just don't have the time (or energy) to post my favorites from every session, especially during the busy season.

I feel that each family should receive individual attention, but it has just been piling up as I feel more behind each day. 

So I hope you'll forgive me in this informal attempt to catch up on this neglected blog.

I loved looking back on the wonderful moments I shared with all of you!

THANK YOU for making this job so fulfilling.

ahhh, the weight has been lifted.

pretty in pink.

just a teaser from a first birthday photo shoot with this cutie.

we pretty much had the whole pier and restaurant entertained with her cuteness.

more to come...

Phelps Family.

here are some of my favorites from this session.

i die over those little mary jane socks.

Photo of the Day! {TODDLER ON THE RUN!}

There is just something about this picture that I love.

I work with a lot of babies and toddlers, and although it can be hard work, 

I love when I get that shot that captures them just the way they are...busy busy.

Can't blame them for not wanting to sit still when they have an exciting new world to discover.

another teaser...

...and another late night of editing ahead of me.

with a family this good looking, how do i narrow it down?

thanks for the fun times.

I'M BACK!!

those blue eyes. those rolls. all of his many faces.

what's not to love about this adorable baby?

we had so much fun. 

meet baby cole & his parents:

the schilling family.

talk about a photogenic family. it was hard to choose which ones to post so here is a random sampling.

baby landon.

he is literally perfect. 

beautiful blue eyes, perfect skin, kissable lips, and obsessed with his feet.

needless to say, i did very little editing.

and these are just some of the favorites...

oh, and i loved his owl-themed nursery.
