Baby Mine

I've been wanting to get Wesley in the studio for some time now. You know the old adage about the shoemaker's family having no shoes... sure I take a lot of pics, but my little Wesley was a little overdue for portraits. He has become quite the active toddler. Combine that with him being absolutely sick of me hiding behind the camera and it was a challenge! It took 3 adults and a bag of Reeces Pieces, but we achieved success! I adore the pics, then again it may just be the mommy goggles talking.

Bright blue eyes, peaches and cream complexion and a hint of red in her hair, the instant I met Ms Ella I was entranced by her smile. We headed into the woods for some outdoor shots and little miss thing was such the good baby. She would smile and coo and was so interested in the grass. Then her fiery side came out for just a brief moment. Her parents instantly knew all the little tricks to keep her happy and after a quick nap we headed into the studio, where she continued to charm the camera. Watch out world - this one is going to be a siren!

They say your wedding day is one of the happiest in your life. Becky and Jimmy were nothing but smiles the whole day - well, except for those parts when they were kissing. Their reception was everything a good party should be, full of great food, lots of dancing, fun and laughter. And all those things will come in handy for a long and happy marriage. Congrats Jimmy and Becky! Thanks for letting us share your special day!

Beautiful Boy

When I heard this little one shared the name Gregory with my husband, I knew I was in for it with this session. He had given his parents a rough start with the usual newborn issues and then some! Baby Gregory arrived fast asleep in his infant carrier and for the next 2 hours he was wide awake and quite assertive about his needs for attention. His sweet little cry just begs for the nearest soul to give him a cuddle, but his favorite place is the arms of his parents. As soon as either one would hold him, he was happy as a clam. He already has them wrapped around his iny finger - just the way it should be. Good Luck Tracey and Stan! You two have a beautiful boy and I can already see that you two are well aware the hard work is entirely worth it! Please savor these moments - little Gregory will be a big boy before you know it.
