The other day I had a fabulous session with baby Emmelyn! She treated me great and peed on her mama the most. ;) ;) I think Emmelyn was the youngest newborn I've photographed and it was really great. She was so sleepy and didn't mind how we posed her. So fun!!! It was so fun working with the "B" family too! Thanks for having me and letting me capture your beautiful daughter! :)

Emmelyn's mama had a great idea to get a photo of the baby on her daddy's uniform. She has a similar photo of the big brother and she wanted one of sweet Emmelyn too! I loved how these turned out and I hope one day I have a little newborn babe that I can try this out on too! :)

Hello everyone! Well I've been MIA for a little over a month. I've had several computer problems and even lost and then found my laptop. What a mess! It's been a very nice break though! I've been spending lots of extra time with my family and trying to prioritize life! But now I'm back, with a NEW desktop and an "almost" fixed laptop! Yes! :)

Before all the issues with my computers, I had the pleasure of taking some fun pictures of Baby "O"! She is such a happy little girl! So full of smiles and how cute are those dimples!?! Her mom (my friend and old neighbor-Unfortunatly these wonderful people just moved to ND!!) and I had lots of fun trying different hats on "O" and laughing at all her cute expressions. I'm So glad i had the opportunity to work with baby "O"! Such a sweetie!

Her adorable dress! :)

Last weekend I had a wonderful fall session with the "B" family! It was a kinda chilly but we still had fun. Miss "M"-{9 months Old} was so adorable from beginning to end! She didn't make one little cry and was full of beautiful smiles. I really love working with babies that are "M's" age! They are usually happy to sit in the grass and hold leaves or explore and just being outside makes them happy! :) So fun! I have many favorites from this session so this is a big share! :) enjoy!

2009-10-16T21:03:00.000-07:00

Last week I took my boys out for some fall pictures! Thank goodness I did because the next morning there was 5 inches of snow on the ground. Oh how I'm so not ready for winter! :( Pictures like this only happen once in awhile for me with my 2! They are not fans of the camera. lol! but some icecream bribing got me some cute smiles and some sweet moments!

The leaves are turning and it's looking like winter "might" let us have some more pretty days before the snow starts falling again! Book your fall sessions now! I still have a couple openings in October and November! :)

My favorite of the day!

Isn't she a little doll?!

my beautiful neice Miss "K"-{almost 4 weeks old}

2009-09-20T21:52:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had a great visit to New York to surprise my brother and see my new neice! I couldn't wait to get a day to photograph her! Unfortunatly, my little guy Cameron had an accident and we spent 2 days at the hospital. So our visit was cut short. :( I did get a lot of cute shots and this is just a small share! I know i will have many more to share in the next few days! Miss "K" is such a sweet girl but she sure didn't want to sleep for Auntie Amanda! ;) Once we got miss cutie sleeping though, her mommy and I were able to pose her into all different fun poses, which was crazy in itself since she's almost 4 weeks old! 2 weeks is usually the newborn age cutoff for all the curly poses. I'm soo glad I had this opportunity to take these pics of Miss "K"! :) Can't wait to take more as she grows! Love you and Miss you "K"! :)

Showing us her Adorable smile! :)

sucking her thumb! too cute!

What to Wear Wednesday!

2009-08-26T19:14:00.000-07:00

One of the most frequent questions that I hear after someone books a session is “so what do we wear?” I love hearing that question because it lets me know that your portraits are important to you!

So I thought that every Wednesday I would post a "what to wear" blog-
Everything I share can be found online or in stores but don’t feel like you have to buy new outfits, this is just meant as a guide, you may have similar things right in your closet! Every Wednesday I will be posting some sample outfits to help you get the idea of what I mean when I say “outfits that match, but not necessarily matchy matchy”.

Todays outfits can be found at the Gap! :)

Some of my favorite stores-

Gap

Old Navy

Boden

Justice

Garnet Hill

Gymboree

Children's Place

Janie and Jack

Crazy 8

Hanna Andersson

American Eagle

J Crew

Banana Republic

Ralph Lauren

77 Kids

OshKosh

Pumpkin Patch

Pottery Barn Kids
