One of the pleasures of this business is to watch my clients kiddos grow up.

It's amazing to watch and a privilege to capture.

Baby Cerys wasn't in the mood to sleep...she was in the mood to model!

And she did a wonderful job!

Only 8 days old and already a little pro!

{2 little heroes}

I had the privilege of doing my second Littlest Heroes Project session with these 2 cutie pies.

These boys are amazing little guys, but I have to say that their mom and dad are pretty special people, as well. I only spent a short time with them, but could instantly see how much patience and love they have for their boys. It was a blessing to witness this family in action!

{got to meet a fabulous couple who's expecting baby #1 soon. it was a bit hot out....ok, a lot hot out. mommy-to-be did WAY better with it then i did. what a trooper. and how sweet is this daddy-to-be in that next to last photo? love it.}

{this one cracked me up.

it was his idea for a pose.

him trying to make a run for it

and her yanking him back.

so funny.}

{so in l.o.v.e.}

It's always fun when you get to do a session for your friends.

And to make it even more fun, it's never a dull moment with Jason! :)

I will post some of the out takes...they crack me up!

Congrats on 3 years together and the renewal of your wedding vows!

You are a beautiful couple!

So I've been busy making some examples for my {creations} tab on my website.

Here are a few I've come up with.

Think birthday cards, thank you cards,

graduation announcement, birth announcement...

the options are endless.

Looking for a custom card for that special event?

{my first little hero...}

I am so proud to say that I did my very first Littlest Heroes Project (http://www.thelittlestheroesproject.org/) photo session yesterday.

It was awesome to meet Wesley, his sister Lily, and their mom Damita.

Wesley has autism but he doesn't let that get in his way of being a very active 5 year old.

He did a great job of stopping every once in awhile

and flashing that sweet smile in my direction.

Mostly, it was when he caught his mom's eye that he would smile.

It made my heart melt.

What a wonderful experience this project is.

I hope to get to do many more of these sessions.

And now for some sneak peaks....
