Welcome to the blog

It has been quite some time since I’ve written a blog post; at least on my computer. I write them in my head all the time, and sometimes I write them in my blog journal. After a very busy fall season, I am catching up on some session blogging. My favorite part about blog posts […]

Over the past 19 months, I’ve reflected on the future of my photography business, with a positive outlook. Getting back to what I love to do has certainly never been a question of if, but rather, when. I am going to have a successful newborn photography business, but I’ve had to wait VERY patiently. There […]

Would you like to know why you will never regret having newborn portraits? Newborn portraits are so special and the photographic memories will be appreciated not only by you for years to come, but also your children. My three children under 12 love seeing the photos of themselves from birth until now. I love telling […]

I have three babies that walk and talk. They’re not really babies anymore. I first fell in love with babies, in general, when my cousins were born. I signed up for my first babysitting certification class when I was a pre-teen. I made my own special babysitting kit to take to my first “job” for […]

Sometimes the best gift arrives right around a holiday. When we did these newborn portraits we included a tiny felted heart in some of the photos. It wasn’t until I was editing the gallery that I remembered that a heart was perfect for the timing of this little one’s arrival. I’m sure Valentine’s Day will […]

Many of the locations I photograph don’t have too many passers-by, but Centennial Park is quite popular for walkers, runners, and bikers. And let me tell you, at this particular session, people would just stop and stare at this beautiful family while I photographed them. I don’t blame them at all! They looked absolutely stunning. […]

Every time I have a session with this wonderful family, I really look forward to it because they are so sweet. I first met them two years ago for a maternity session before this little cutie in the yellow dress was born. Then I got to meet Zara at her newborn session and later see […]
