I'm an aunt!

Well I've been an aunt before this actually, but by marriage...which is always fantastic. But now my own sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I had the amazing privilege to be in the room too! So much going on in this household, but I wouldnt change it for anything. Don't tell my husband but this does horrible things with my baby fever hehe. 

Now to the good stuff! Introducing Serenity Nicole-Marie born April 20th 2011 weighing 5lbs 14.5oz and a whopping 17inches long!  



Thanks for looking! Pass me around to all your friends!

Sunday Sneak Peek

Ok I realize I'm a few days late, but I have very good reason. We had a very busy Sunday! My husband and I had a day away from the kids, it was so nice! We went to the casino, I turned $20 into $50. I'm a baller haha. Then we looked around at Nebraska Furniture Mart after we went to the movies and saw Rango! Had such a nice day away from the boys.

Now for your sneak peek, don't get mad at me Im a little late. I'm gonna work on something to post on Tuesdays too. Trying to figure out super cute names. I'm rambling again. Have you ever noticed how much work they give kindergartners? Well if you don't have one in school yet, you'll understand soon enough. If you've been there done that kind of thing, its insane on how much they need them to know just in Kindergarten. I don't remember needing to know all this.

Seth is working on math work, he loves numbers so this comes naturally to him.

Thanks for looking!

Girl age 3-6 years old (outdoor session)

Boudoir- must pay for own room, must be female 



Entries must include a photo within the past year and other important info (names, address, ages, due dates, etc.) to be considered. Thank you!

First and foremost I am an artist. There are times when I get an idea in my head that I just HAVE to photograph. As many artists do, I pull inspiration from so many places and when that strikes I want to fulfill it!

This is good news for you!

As I get ideas that I want to photograph I will often put out "fresh face casting calls" looking for a specific type of model. This will usually include a complimentary session as a gift to you for helping me fulfill the idea and some other complimentary goodies I offer. For these events, no minimum purchase is required.

All I ask in return is complete creative control (of course we are always safe!) and a signed model release which means I may use the images produced for marketing my business (never with your name attached) on my website, blog, facebook, etc.

Sneak Peek of Baby J

Awhile back I got asked to photograph this couples maternity pictures, I was very pleased when they asked me to do their newborn pictures too. I managed to get to baby J at 8 days old, he's precious such an extremely happy baby. Oh how I miss the newborn stage, my boys are much older now, I do miss it. 

Enjoy baby J, they don't stay little for very long.   

Sneak Peek for K of Baby C

Friday I got the wonderful luxury of photograph a friend from high schools son, Cameron. He is adorable, and quite an attitude for being 6wks. Such an easy baby though, as long as mommy was close by he was a pretty happy camper till I made him a bit upset, but nothing that I couldn't handle of course. It was nice though to talk about whats going with the friends we use to talk to in high school, everything has changed. I ramble I know so I'll knock it off and show you what you came here for!

:) I hope you like them K.
