You might have noticed a change or two to the blog when you logged on today!  I am so excited about the updating and the lauching of my new branding!  It follows the same color scheme, but is finally something I truly love and hope to be able to use to brand my business for the duration!

You’ll notice the website will be undergoing some changes in the next couple of weeks.  Most importantly I’ll be separatimg my current website into two - one exclusively for newborns and maternity and the other for children and families!  I can’t wait to show these new wonders off!  Look for updates here after the first of the year…I promise you are going to love them!

Meet mister L, four days of pure delight!  His mom is this gorgeous lovely from a few weeks back.  He wasn’t too sure about all the posing we wanted him to do - but he was too precious, and we got some great stuff!

Jacki’s husband made an off the cuff comment on his Facebook about the fact he wasn’t in any of the sneak peek pictures from yesterday’s session, so I figure he needs a little love here as well…such a fun, sweet couple!

Not my other half…lol!  The other half of the gorgeous best friend duo I photographed today!  Rachel’s legs must go on forever, love it!  And seriously how lucky am I to get to photograph four stunning maternity clients in one week?!?!

I can’t wait to meet this duo’s little boys…

Today I have the great pleasure of photographing best friends who met years ago in college and now live near one another and are having baby boys two days apart!  I think their story is fascinating and so exciting for them - friends who will have little boys who are destined to be best friends as well.

This morning I met with Jacki…Rachel’s sneak peek to come this evening!

I was so excited for this week to start…it meant four gorgeous mamas to photograph and blog about! Emily was no exception! Totally gorgeous and all baby, she looks amazing at 36 weeks! Can’t wait to get my hands on her little boy when he makes his debut in December…

Gorgeous mom-to-be that is!  Kelly was so fun today, up for anything and so excited about the upcoming birth of her second little boy!  It was great to hit the Stockyards for some fresh maternity images…Kelly, I hope you love these!

I am so thrilled to be able to share with you another little one…this is the week of newborns for me!  Meet Mister V, 8 pounds of absolute delight.  Mom was a maternity client a few months back…remember this gorgeous belly?

It was so fun to shoot V last night - family had just arrived for a 6 week visit from South America, and everyone wanted to be a part of the action.  It was great to meet you all - see you in a few weeks.

I had the pleasure of meeting this mama-to-be last night for a quick mini-session, as she gets ready to welcome her second little girl in about 8 weeks!  Can you believe how tiny and cute she is?!?!

I love maternity sessions…taking advantage of one of the most amazing times in a woman’s life…every pregnant woman is beautiful and totally worth capturing with a camera!  C was certainly no exception!

Thanks for bringing the family out last night, it was great to meet everyone!  And seriously if your husband figures out how to bottle Miss P’s energy I will be his first and best customer!  Hope you love what you see…we’ll be seeing you soon!

I had the chance to meet up with Kelly and her husband last night for a quick and fun maternity mini-session.  She is adorably pregnant, and he totally loves her…so fun to work with the two of them!  I can’t wait to meet their little guy in a few weeks!
