Sweet Baby Alice
My dear friend Kate had a beautiful baby girl a few weeks ago and I was asked to come take pictures of her at their home. One of the first things I noticed in their living room was the above sign. If you know Kate you know she is full of LOVE! (she ends all her emails like this) and she has a wonderfully contagious laugh. I thought this sign in their home represents who they are as a family so well. I also loved seeing the pictures of prints from our previous sessions hung on the walls, this made me smile. I LOVE! seeing a family interact with a new member of the home, I know that feeling...

Having friends in our life that Jackie and I could grow to love and share our up and down moments on our life journey was something we prayed for over the years. So about 5 years ago a friendship was kindled between the Hogan family and the Edwards family. We took a child birthing class together and we watched our first born children, who are 6 months apart, grow together and become the best of friends. We joke that one day they will get married. They have also been a source of encouragement for me with my goals of being a photographer. I have had the wonderful blessing of capturing life...

Before I introduce you all to little Addison Kate StClair, who is the cutest tiny baby ever! Let me share with you a story of this families journey of Love, Loss, and the celebration of New Life, all within this past year. October 2nd 2010 I had the honor and privilege of taking on my first wedding as a photographer for Rachel and Billy. I work with Rachels mom, and she asked me to be their photographer, and NO was not an option. So I spent an entire day with them in the celebration of their love for each other and capturing moments of happiness with friends and family of theirs. It was...

Funny story about the scheduling of this photo shoot. Luke’s mom would email me and we were going back and forth trying to find the perfect time for us both. I always want to make it as easy as possible for moms with young babies, so they do not have to stress about location and time and the heat. I like to do the sessions at their home, so when it came to getting her address, it turned out we were neighbors. Like really, right next door. So I just walked over and we knocked the session out early one Saturday morning. Luke is a cute, cute boy, thanks so much for allowing me to...

There is something about baby photos that are so much fun to do, the skin, the eyes, the rolls, the up close and in your face kinda of images that I love to take. There is no studio needed, just some nice light and a place to lay down. These were taken on my living room floor by a window. This is my little guy Liam (not so little at 22lbs and 6 months). I love to take his pictures, and he is still at a point where he will let me. I would love to photograph your little one, so drop me an email. Its a lot less painless then you think, and I come to to...
