Sneak Peek: Class of 2011's GLAM SAM

How could you NOT think this girl is adorable the first second you lay your eyes on her?  Are you kidding?  You'd need your eyes checked!  I had a great time spending the evening with Sam and her mom and their two little pups (who desperately wanted to steal the spotlight, unfortunately for them, this was Sam's time to shine!)  Have a great senior year, Sam!

Sneak Peek: The 'W' Family!

Most of the 'W' family drove thousands of miles from Colorado for a visit, and while they were all in town, they asked me to create some beautiful family portraits, and I believe, together, we conquered the task!  The evening I spent with this growing family was so much fun, it made me really miss my own family.

And it all began with two...

 { A big THANK YOU to the beautiful 'W' Family }

“The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.”

- Erma Bombeck

ADDIE and CUSTOM CARDS

Next week my youngest neice, Addie, will be turning ONE.  Her parents asked me to help with a custom birthday invitation, so we scheduled a mini-session to get some updated images of the little smarty pants (no, really, she was walking at 8 months, she's too smart for her own good!).  Then we fine-tuned the perfect birthday invitation (see below).  It's a 4x6 flat card with UV protection and rounded corners.  So bright and colorful, it's been a big hit!  Here are some of the images we grabbed while playing around at Pittock Mansion.

Sneak Peek: Baby Ann

I had the pleasure of meeting Baby Ann Elizabeth and her parents over the weekend when Baby Ann was only four days old.  I cannot decide who is luckier; the parents or the baby.  What an amazing family, they are all lucky to have each other in their lives, and I was ecstatic to be invited into their home to (as I say) 'destroy your house and piss off your baby', but they were all such troopers!  This is the happiest (and hungriest) baby I've probably ever worked with... We saw lots of smiles.  :-)  It was a beautiful Saturday and I think we captured the most precious images and most genuine, beautiful family portrait.  Enjoy!

a personal favorite:

My new favorite family portrait...

"peek-a-boo!"

This giant Pooh bear was given to Baby Ann's Daddy when he was born:

I know you want to squeeze those cheeks!

This little piggy...

She is a treasure, and it was my pleasure.

Thanks to the amazing new Mommy and Daddy!
