Claire's New Dress

Claire is the niece of a friend of mine and she got a pretty new dress for the holidays. We were trying to take a nice photo to frame for her mom but Claire had other plans for the evening and was more interested in watching her videos and playing with toothpaste! She wanted nothing to do with my camera - or her pretty dress for that matter - but we still managed to get a few cute pics to give to mom!

Abbott Family Holiday Photos

The Abbotts are good friends of ours and I've wanted to take photos of their adorable boys for a long time but we never managed to get together. On one of the biggest snow storms of the year we met at Vanderwees for some holiday pictures and I had a ton of fun! Vanderwees is a wonderful place to take photos and the staff was very welcoming! Even though I was having problems with my flash that day we still managed to get some cute pictures and hopefully something they could use for the holidays (even though it was only days away at this point!). Hope to see more of them in 2009!

Vienna's Christening

We were guests at Vienna's Christening but, of course, I brought along my camera to caputre a few moments from this important day. This little girl was surrounded by friends and family and is truly loved by everyone around her. Bless her little heart!

Marino Family Holiday Photos

I had the pleasure of visiting the Marino family before the holidays to take some photos of their family. The children are adorable and honestly I couldn't take a bad picture - as long as they were looking at the camera which was a challenge in itself! I designed a holiday card for them and couldn't have been happier with the results! Wishing them all the best for 2009!

Rory's Dance Class

Rory is an adorable ballerina and I had the opportunity to photograph her Christmas dance party. I hadn't been to dance class in years and watching the girls made me want to pull out my old tutu...too bad it likely doesn't fit! I really enjoyed this shoot and feel the photos capture a priceless moment in time.
















A thumbs up to mom every now and then meant everything was ok :)

Tyler's Skating Lessons

Tyler is 3 1/2 and learning to skate! I got the opportunity to go to one of his lessons and captured some pretty cute moments. Nana's skating is coming along quite nicely as well!

Beautiful Baby Bump

The Linke's are expecting their first baby tomorrow and in anticipation of the big day I wanted to post some photos from my session with them about a month ago. Can't wait to meet the little one and find out if it's a boy or a girl!












Ray thought it would be funny to balance the beer on Missy's belly instead of the bowl...we thought not so much! Wishing you both the best tomorrow!!

Vienna - 7 weeks old

Vienna is the daughter of good friends and an adorable little girl who was a pleasure to photograph! I didn't get any smiles but she liked to stare at my camera! I never realized how much babies move! It was hard to get a shot with all hands and feet in the frame! Can't wait to visit again!

I'm also learning to do announcement cards! Vienna isn't using this version so it is safe to display!

Contact me if you'd like me to work on a card for you!
