Kids

You gotta love them...the big eyes, the chubby legs, the innocent looks. I can't get enough of them! They may not be famous, but they are sure are just as cute as some of those Hollywood kids.

It's been a busy week. Here's a couple of kids from this week.

summer time!

With all the crazy headlines in the news today (Obama and McCain at each other, high gas prices, bad Mexican Jalapenos) it's enough to make anyone a little nutty. Did anyone see the headline today "Angry man shoots lawn mower for not starting"?
I've spent the last week and a half with 4 amazing little girls, my daughter and her 3 cousins. Sure they get a bit rambunctious and rowdy when together, but if I've learned anything these last few days it is to enjoy every moment, even the crazy headlines.
I hope all of you are relaxing and enjoying your summer!

Don't Forget the Pets!

Our pets may not be as well groomed as Jessica Alba's Pugs, Hillary Duff's Chihuahua, or Jake Gyllenhaall's German Shepard, but they are ours...Bad behaviors, smelly breath and all! We certainly don't want to forget about them when we are considering our next photography project.

My hound dog, Skylar was my like my first kid and treated as such. She was always included in road trips, grocery store runs, even the family portrait. Our pets are as much a part of our family story as our kids. (Sometimes they are our only family) Don't forget to bring them along on your next photo shoot. You never know what we might capture!

A Baby's Life

Something I've talked about in a previous post is my "1st Year Series" program that has been really popular.
This program is designed to follow a year in the life of a new baby, starting with a Maternity portrait with mom and dad to be, followed by a newborn, 6 month, and 1 year session. We top it off with a gorgeous set of 4 mini albums or 1 larger album designed to tell the story of your amazing journey.
I've just finished my most current series with Havana. It has been so much fun watching her grow this last year. I hope you enjoy them.
