six months

And actually, it's closer to seven. It's hard to believe sweet A is already six months old! She was very sweet today and let me take lots of pictures. I'm glad this baby is in my family, I don't think I could get tired of her cute face!

Enjoy your pictures Sister!

best friends

J and M are best friends so we got lots of shots of them together. Thanks again for letting me share in this time with you gals! Best wishes for the future!

j has a tattoo

I had the opportunity to photograph J on Sunday. She is best friends with M from the post below and is also a graduating senior. She was up for anything and gave it her all, even when I asked for crazy laughs and contemplative looks.

I'm really digging the senior sessions right now, I have a few scheduled through February and I'm looking forward to capturing this time in their lives. Time passes so quickly and it's hard to believe it's already been nine years since I was that age!


Don't let this sweet face fool you, J's got a tough side too. She's totally rockin' a tattoo on one of those shoulders that we captured later on!

Thanks J for letting me in on this special time in your life and thanks to your mom, M, for carrying all of your things and helping out!

m

For whatever reason it's really hard for me to come up with adjectives that start with the letter m, so no witty post title. However, I can list a few adjectives that describe the fabulous M. She is funny, smart, gregarious, and she has some mad tree climbing skills (even if it didn't quite work out)!


I photographed M on Sunday and she was so great! Most of my time behind the camera is focused on babies and toddlers so it was a treat to be able to give some direction and have the person understand what I'm asking! :)


Congratulations M on your upcoming graduation! And thank you J, for holding your sweet daughter's clothes, offering suggestions, and spreading the word!

the great pumpkin(s)

Fall is over you say?! These great whites would disagree. I bought these three pumpkins after Halloween at my local grocery store. They were in a basket marked $1.99 and I thought they would make a great addition to my Thanksgiving decorations. (Pay no attention to the unruly mess of weeds that has become my backyard)

I'm a little embarrassed to say that these pumpkins not only stayed stacked at my fireplace through Thanksgiving, but they kept Santa company and helped us ring in the new year. I finally decided it was time to put away the pumpkins this evening and found them to be very resilient! There wasn't a soft spot on a one of 'em! They must have come from the most sincere pumpkin patch to be so hearty.

Farewell pretty pumpkins, you added lots of happiness and style to my holidays!

On a business note, I have two portrait sessions with some awesome senior girls this weekend! I also plan to do my niece's six month photos so it will be a busy weekend. Pictures of people really are coming soon!
