I am still here...

So, my sincerest apologies for the lack of blogging. And, tonight, I had really, really wanted to post about my Cakies who will be turning 4 in a couple days, but I figured I should use my time to catch up (well, catch most of the way up!). Some gorgeous sessions took place the past several weeks, and many of you have seen these on FB...but I am throwing in some others too! If you aren't a fan on FB yet, head on over to here and click on the "Like" button, and you too will see the sneak peeks a tad sooner! :)

On with the pictures...and this is a picture heavy post!

Beautiful Miss D - Senior Pictures
D was a winner of one of the giveaway sessions from earlier in the year. She is a hard working Senior who is involved with her youth group and has grown closer to the Lord. What a sweet girl she was too...thanks for coming all the way here for your session!

Mr. P - 3 years old
Okay, seriously, this little guy wows the camera every session. I love this little guy and I can't wait to meet his little brother this summer! Such a sweet family, and I am so lucky to have them as clients!

The M Family - Giveaway Session Winner

We tried a couple of times to hold this session outdoors, but the weather was frightful...cold, rainy, WINDY! Not fun! So we ended up here (because they were moving and we had to get the session in), and it still just seemed like things were working against us. It isn't outdoors, but the images are still beautiful! They are such a beautiful family. Here is a little snippet from the nomination letter...

"M (the dad) is one of our proud members of the military. He is in the Army getting ready to get deployed for the THIRD time to fight for our freedom. I can not imagine leaving my family to fight for my country but to gear up to get ready to go over there for the third time is just unthinkable to me. To put your life on the line to protect our freedom is the ultimate sacrifice! Then to have to leave your new baby boy & 2 year old who is going to miss her father like crazy is going to be extremely hard for him. Having the beautiful pictures you take for Matt to take with him and for Molly and Aiden to look at everyday to remember there father would be the ultimate gift for them. Not to mention for Christine on those hard nights when she is laying in bed alone to give her something she can cherish and hold onto."

Thanks M for your dedication and love for our country...I was COMPLETELY honored to do this session for your family!

Baby R - Newborn
Sweet, sweet baby. Oh boy, oh boy...how I love the newborns! This little guy was a dream...and his big sister was adorable. She was full of compliments, and my favorite one, "I really like your voice." HA! What a cutie!

Okay...that is it for tonight. Sorry I was short on words...so much has happened in the past month...fun stuff, busy stuff, and it doesn't appear to be stopping any time soon! Cakies pictures will be next to be posted!!!! :)

Sweet Newbie...

This family are not strangers to this blog! I have been capturing their family for the past 2 years. I have seen Miss E grow from the littlest one in the family to a big sister! Sweet baby girl A arrived! Her momma was seen just a bit ago on here...remember the sweet belly with the green bow wrapped around her belly...well, the same green bow is below now wrapped around sweet baby A. It seems like newborn season has hit! Several more newbies are scheduled and coming up! On with the images...

A Picture Perfect Precious Newborn...

This newborn session was unbelievable. Baby "O" was absolutely perfect. He is beautiful, with precious little lips and soft, wrinkly skin! On top of that, he snoozed the whole time! I got a few peeks of his eyes, but only when we were moving him, and then he would settle right back into his comfy zone and zonk out! It was so much fun! I got to use a few new props, and then on top of that, he has a super cool room. I am including one from his room in the peaks! Andrea and Chris, it was wonderful meeting you and spending time with your precious newborn! Enjoy the peaks!

Love this shot...

So precious...




Sweet little piggy toes...




The new newborn hat... :)




This one is so sweet. He is laying over his daddy's shoulder, and his hand looks like it is signing, "I love you." Love little hands!




Love that you can see the mirror reflection in the background of this one...




Perhaps my favorite from the session so far...and that is another one of the newest newbie props!




He just dangled there so innocently...

That is all for now! Have a great night!

Newbie #2

I have been loving the little newbie sessions recently! This little princess, P, was a snoozey little one, once she fell asleep. So precious. So tiny. So wanted to keep her and send her momma on her way! ;) Congrats, M and B...we are so happy for you, and thanks for letting me capture her littleness for you!

Hanging out in Momma's arms...

love this one...

Caught up on sneak peeks...now back to editing like a crazy lady! October is a busy, busy, busy month...and also November...but I love it!

Newbie #1

Mr. B, you have seen him on here before, is a BIG BROTHER! (I will say again...love repeat clients!)
Baby K was born just a few weeks ago, and is a super cutie. Oh, I love newborns, and capturing their littleness while they are still so sleepy and still so little! B is such a sweet big brother, and I loved the couple that I was able to get of the two boys together. D and J, thanks for having me, and I was so happy that the weather men were COMPLETELY wrong about the weather for the day! Turned out beautiful! Here are a few peeks...





Still more sessions to come...
