Important News

Posted on March 8, 2012

I have some important news.  I’ve struggled lately to keep up with everything.  The transition to three children has been wonderful, but I find myself being pulled in too many directions as our family life gets ever more busy.  Although it’s excruciatingly hard to even type this, let alone get it to sink into my brain, I’ve decided to take a break from photography.  I feel strongly that my energy and focus need to be elsewhere right now – with my family.  That means I will be honoring a few long-planned sessions on my calendar, but not taking on any new sessions for the foreseeable future.  I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve truly enjoyed each sweet baby, each darling child, each beautiful family I’ve met.  Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for allowing me to capture a few moments of your lives.  I wish you all the best!  I’ll continue to post here regularly, so feel free to keep me in your reader and/or check back now and again. :)   XOXO

Enjoy this mother-daughter series of my beautiful sister-in-law and adorable niece.

Tickles from Grandma!

Marlie is basically a model and I kind of hate her. :)

Love you girls!

Here’s the rest of my peek of the tiny doll-baby that is newborn Malachi.  He was around 5 pounds at our session.  :)   Let’s start this party with some black and whites.  Love that peach fuzz!

Even caught a smile!

He had such long lashes for a newborn.

Mama loves that white blonde hair – me too!

So squishy and delicious!

Thanks S family!  I simply adore him. :)

Love that blue on him!

Many more to come, D family…

And the winner of the Biggest Newborn Smile Award goes to…baby Atlas!


Makes sense – he has a lot to smile about!  He was born into a wonderful family who loves him so very much.  More to come!

A few of my Cami girl at the park the other day.  Oh I could just eat her face off.

This little guy was definitely worth the months and months of bed rest his sweet mama endured so well.  Meet precious and perfect baby Malachi!  Just a few for tonight…

He has such adorable kissable lips!

I’ll be in touch soon Penny!

Going through old images from Chelsea’s newborn session that I never posted…enjoy!  Fun slash sad to look through these. She’s almost 9 months old now!  :)

More to come…

These two handsome little dudes are friends and have birthdays only a day apart.  Their moms decided to throw a Cheerios-themed first birthday for them, and pictures were definitely in order.  They brought all the cute props and simply used my space to get some pictures of their darling guys – but I couldn’t resist snapping a few of the cuties!

Happy birthday, darlings!

My beautiful niece, Whitney, is getting baptized a member of OUR CHURCH this week!  While in California in December, I was able to do a quick session to capture some images for her to use for her announcements.  I can’t believe she’s already 8!  We’re so proud of you, Whit!

Enjoy the sweet beauty of baby Elizabeth…only 9 days old at her newborn session.

So glad I caught a smile!

Daddy packed these little wings to use in the session.  So sweet!

Had to throw this one in too…I couldn’t resist snapping this as they were leaving.  So content in Mama’s arms.

Thanks B family, and congrats again on your new baby girl.
