Beautiful, Perfect, Newborn, Reese

This was my first newborn shoot! I enjoyed it so much. It was truly an honor to be able to take pictures of this beautiful girl. Thanks to her parents who trusted me to capture their 2nd daughter on her 7th day in this world. There is nothing better than spending a few hours holding, working with and basically staring in awe at a newborn. New life is amazing with all the possibilities and wonderment it holds.

Happy New Year

I don't have a fabulous New Year's picture to share as it's nasty outside =). Here's to 2011 and all the possibilities it holds. I'm looking forward to growing as a Mother, Wife and Photographer! Tomorrow I have an opportunity to meet a new precious life and take on my 1st newborn shoot. Nervous, excited, thankful and ready to jump in. Can't wait to share some images soon. I hope everyone had fun ringing in this year. I know I did!

It was freezing outside the day we took these photos. Amanda and Daisy were troopers and Reese is still being kept warm on the inside. I can't wait to meet her and do some newborn photos soon. Amanda looks amazing at 37 weeks!

I'm ready!

I'm finally ready to throw myself out there. I've had an interest in photos for as long as I can remember. I've always been inspired by my Grandfather, who loves to take pictures. He has boxes upon boxes and albums overflowing. Even as a child I was drawn to spend hours pouring over these. I was also one of his favorite subjects as a child so I became comfortable being a ham. I am so glad that I have pictures of those growing up years that are natural and moment caputuring. That's what I'm striving to do as well. I received my first DSLR camera a couple years ago for Mother's Day from my wonderful husband. I've been learning so much since then and have been doing practice photo sessions for about 6 mos. now. Since those are prompting more requests, I decided to start an outlet here to showcase my work and provide more information for anyone who may be interested.
