Meet the Cagney~Shorrocks~in studio
What a better time to have family pictures done then when they fly across the Atlantic to come for a visit.
I had the pleasure of meeting two people who did fly over from Ireland. I have to admit I’ve wanted to visit Ireland ever since I saw Far and Away when I was a teenager. I may have had a Tom Cruise crush♥♥♥……. Anyway, we had a great time inside and out of the studio. The weather is finally turning. I’m soooo ready for spring! These two little cuties came all dolled up for Grandpa and Auntie. I can tell they love them so much.
I hope you enjoy my favorites from the session.
Thank you so much Helene! You have a wonderful family! I can’t wait to meet the missing member for your family pics! You have a wonderful spirit! I really enjoyed getting to know you and the girls!!! Next time I know baby girl will be dancing!

Another beautiful newborn came to the studio. He loved it so much that he wanted to be awake most of the time we spent together that day. Which gave us lots of opportunities to play with him, love him, and oooooh and ahhhhh over him the whole time. I loved his expressions and the way he always seemed to be pointing at someone.
I had a hard time choosing my favorites this time. It was wonderful to have Mom and Dad join in and show their love!
Thank you so much Delia and Theresa! I know you guys traveled a long way to come to the studio! I really appreciate the effort that must have taken with a new little guy. Who I just adore. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

10 months and counting…..
It’s time to get a little personal. I’ve been photographing this little one since birth and this month is no exception. She sparkles like glitter in my life. Her laughter lights up the room. And her silky smooth skin feels so soft. I could go on and on about her. I ♥ being an Auntie!
We had some quality time at the park last week and I just wanted to share it with you guys!
These two have a thing for each other. One giggles and the other gets jumpy and energized.
I saved the best for last. I didn’t realize a baby could laugh the same way we do. The laugh that makes you tear up and almost pee your pants. LOL.

Meet Charlotte
This post is going to be 100% girlie because there were three little princesses at this shoot. Primarily the angel below. So its ok to have a million xoxoxos and sparkles and hearts as I want. If fact, I may just bedazzle the whole post. If you remember my post Meet bun in the oven #3, this is the darling arrival. She is already full of smiles and loves the music of Lady and the Tramp. We had fun with new props and heart-shaped bokeh. What more could a girl ask for?!
For the heart shapes I used this cool thing from The Photojojo store. If you are a camera junkie like me you will love this place.
I can’t wait to see this little lady grow. Before I know it, she’ll be a mover and a shaker like the big sisters are!
Meet Hunter~Mckee Ranch, Las Vegas
Last week, on a business trip for Discount Direct, I flew to Las Vegas. This allowed me to schedule a session while I was in town. Which was a first for me to shoot professionally out-of-state. A very big deal for little old me. I hope I can continue shooting if different states.
The session took place at this awesome farm called Mckee Ranch, with about a hundred different setups for amazing backdrops. Everywhere you look there was an antique or an animal wandering around. The animals were very friendly. Bunnies were hopping by and chickens doing what they do. If you have a little tot this would be a great escape for a couple of hours.
Hunter kept me on my toes for sure. He was fascinated with all the surroundings. He must have napped like a champ after this session. I know I wanted too. I loved meeting this little guy and his mama. It seemed like we always knew each other. Which is a great feeling!
I hope you enjoy my favorite images!
Thank you so much Sara for this wonderful opportunity! I can’t say enough what that meant to me. You even went out of your way to pick me up. So you really went the extra mile for me~literally! You have a beautiful boy who is going to break some hearts for sure! I really hope our paths cross again! Mi casa is Su casa.

Meet the Nereson/Gades~private home
This was my last session of 2011. This past year marked growth for my little business. My passion hasn’t wavered. If anything its burning a little hotter now. So watch out 2012.! I’m hoping to make it a fierce, remarkable one. I’m going to work on speeding up my workflow, sticking to my schedule, and jumping higher out of my comfort zone. Oh yeah and breaking more rules, entering more contests, traveling, and exploring more genres of photography.
This session was so much fun. They have such a sweet pooch and an amazing little boy. His super smart vocabulary and energy kept me on my feet. Mom and Dad are so involved teaching him how to do just about everything. Even teaching him the art of fly tying. I hope you enjoy my favorites from our session. That last one really says it all doesn’t it?! We had a great time together.
I can’t thank you guys enough for choosing to come to me. You were even willing to sit in the wagon for me! What great sports you guys are.

2. such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.
3. a wonder; marvel.

Meet Endo and Jet
Sometimes the best location for a photo shoot can be your own home. As it’s been for my last three sessions. We can always find great places that have that special prop and background that no one else will have. Then when you look back you love everything about your photos. Oh that’s my house back in 09′ along with how sweet the kids look. Or that’s the blanket that auntie made or your child’s favorite chair growing up. The possibilites of items to use are endless. If you’re unsure about your lighting or what would look good. I will gladly come over and take a gander. Plus, I get to know you better and this transforms an idea into a beautiful reflection of who I’m shooting.
The boys below are special to me. I’ve know them since birth and get to see them weekly. One has a sweet obsession with costumes and the other about the cutest smile around. Here a couple of my favorite shots of the session.
Reiko, I was so excited to take your picture again. Your boys are so full of life. I love the way they play together. I look forward to watching them grow up with Dylan. And here’s to more zumba!
Meet Lola and Russel
How would you like to go on an adventure? To a place right out of a storybook. A secret hideaway with a serene pond filled with lily pads, hidden mushrooms, bright red leaves, crisp apples, and the smell is clean and clear. You can run care-free without a worry, except for the big scary bear that has been spotted near the woods.
I hope these guys know I may be moving in soon. I love it here. How lovely it would be to disappear beneath the tall grass with a good book.
So here’s your chance to imagine yourself here. Become and kid again and get lost in Lola and Russel’s playground.♥
Thank you so much Tonya for letting me capture your sweet children. They are so full of laughter and love. I just wanted to snuggle them and run around. I can barely keep up. I wish they stayed little like they are. You are one lucky momma!
