Baby doll face.
The cutest, calmest, most adorable baby … and he just so happens to be the babe of my best friend. *swoon* I love him dearly. The eyes, the cheeks, the ears … so lovable. I just wanted to quietly tuck him in my coat and bring him home to my family. I know he’d love it here. Hehe. Kidding, my dear friend.
Enjoy the little dreamer!





Still here.
Poor blog. I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting you. I promise my reasons are valid.
Just wanted to pop on and keep this place alive. A couple complications have come up around here which have put Mr. Blog on the back burner. First off, I’ve been without my dear camera for 2 weeks now. Gasp! I’m in the process of converting to new gear, and well, it’s taking FOREVER! I’m dying to start shooting again. Secondly, my health hasn’t been so lovely. I’m scheduled for [nasal, ewww] surgery next week to help provide some much needed relief. Right before Christmas … how nice, huh?
So, don’t give up on my now folks. Things should be bustling around here in a week or two. [fingers crossed]. In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of my favorite “Below the belt” shots. Enjoy!!








The Winter Wonders Special
See it here first! Be sure to mention this special when booking your early 2009 session.

We Elfed Ourselves
Hopefully you can view the attached video below of my family elfing around. :) Bet you didn’t know that we all had such sweet dance moves, did you? Secret’s out now.
A few final [awesome] sessions.
It’s like a ghost town around here these days, right? I’m slowly starting to reach the surface of the holiday order mania. Everyone should have their orders in hand in no more than 10 days.
Yay! Let me just say that there have been some adorable holiday card designs. I can’t wait for everyone to receive their goodies.
I wanted to share a few recent sessions. They wonderfully rounded out the 2008 photo season.
The hilarious, fun family of many colors who were such great sports:



The gorgeous family from out of town who let me drag them all over Timbuktu. (Thanks, guys!)



The sweet, adorable (wild and crazy … in a great way!) twins who reminded me that I really need to start working out:



And finally, a super-quick-hurry-out-into-the-snow-for-a-wintery-capture photo of my dear friend’s family:
