Eager Anticipation...

I photographed an incredible couple recently who are awaiting the birth of their first child in early December. By the look of her beautiful tummy, I hope she makes it past Thanksgiving and to her due date. I'm sure her belly is accentuated by her thin frame, but even so...I'm overly excited for this couple not only because it is their first child, but also because they are dear friends of mine. Jim is one of the finest people I know on this planet and I'm so happy for him and of course his beautiful wife, Beth Ann, to experience parenthood. Without further delay, here are a few images from our session...

A Wonderful Day, A Wonderful Family...

For the past few days we have been blessed with absolutely stunning weather. And after all of the rain and nastiness recently, these days have been long overdue. Thankfully this beautiful weather allowed me to finally photograph a family whose sessions have been postponed several times recently. I had a great deal of fun and I'm pretty sure they did too, especially their twins, Audrey and Conner, who were constantly on the go and exploring. What great kids! Here are a few quick images from the session...

Great friends, Great Looking Family...

I did a Session the other day of some dear friends of mine. It is always so good to see such a fun and loving family who are so well grounded. They are truly messengers of Christ and they serve the Lord each and every day. Here are a few quick peeks into their session...

4 the Flight...

Kaitlyn...

Please bear with my blog issues as I am still going back and forth between blogs but hope to rectify this situation soon. In the meantime, I am once again blogging here and am excited to show a few sample images from my recent Senior session with Kaitlyn. She is bright, energetic and has a great future ahead of her. I hope you enjoy these images and that they provide a glimpse into the session...

Like a weed...

Well, its been months since I last blogged on this site and have since set up shop with a new blog. But as things may have it, I am now in a state of flux with my blog situation so I'm going to post here for now and may transfer to the other blog shortly. I wanted to get these quick pix up as I know they are anxious to see them.

This family is awesome and Mr. Christian is growing like a weed. He was born a bit early but you would never know it by looking at him now. Anyway, I love it when I throw out ideas for images or locations and clients are receptive. That is certainly the case with John and Kristina and I think it paid off as the location worked out really well. In any event, here are some quick samples from the session. Enjoy!

Too much Fun...

I did a session yesterday with awesome clients and friends, the Van Zandt's. They are such a great and fun family and I thoroughly enjoy every Session I do for them. This one was even more special because Maggie's mother, Mary was in town and participated in the Session. And on top of that, it was their oldest daughters birthday, Sophia. Sophia who is now three has truly taken to the role of Big sister. Although you can see how her personality and individuality shines, she is always there to watch after her little sister, Bailey. It is so fun watching the interaction between these two sisters and I know it will only get more interesting as they get older. I'll let several of the very many images speak for themselves... Enjoy!!

He's Here...

A few short weeks ago I had the opportunity to create some maternity photographs for a fantastic young, successful couple, John and Kristina. They were eagerly expecting the birth of their first child around the second week in June. Well I am extremely happy to say that a beautiful baby boy, Christian Lee, was even more excited to see them! He was born a little early (May 26th) but more importantly he was born healthy and strong. Unfortunately in the work I do for the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Organization, I get to see far too many babies born early who do not even survive. As difficult as that process is, this obviously is such a wonderful experience which I am truly honored to be entrusted with to create such important memories of this child of God. As often is the case upon finishing a session, I often think of the images that I didn't have time to create. Yet at the same time I certainly know how exhausting it is having a newborn so I try to tread lightly. He was a joy to photograph and he has some great parents to guide him through the years. I hope you enjoy the samples I have included here.
