Announcement

due to a lack of space (thanks blogger! :P) i've decided to delete the portraits by cari blog, so that link will no longer be active.  on a happier note, i have tons of pics to post, so stay tuned! it was a busy season!

The Bradley's Are Back!

i had such a great time photographing the bradley's last year! i was so excited to work with them again this year.

one of my favorite things about this family is how much their kids love each other. it's amazing how well they get along.

i really love their couple pics, too. so sweet!

thanks, bradley's!!! click here to see the full shoot.

Kick-Off

this is my favorite time of year! i love the colors of the leaves, the cool, crisp air, the adorable fall wardrobes, and the chance to mix it all together to make memorable photos. i've been counting down the days all year till this season and i couldn't have asked for a more photogenic family to start it off.

see what i mean?  absolutely adorable!

red leaves, purple tu-tus, rainbow lollipops...a perfect photo shoot! click here to see the rest.

2 In a Row!

crazy, huh? i got out of class early tonight (yay!!!), so i thought i'd take advantage of the extra time and update the blog again.

speaking of two in a row...here's another newborn shoot i did recently.  meet baby L.  this sweet little guy was a great sleeper...and pee-er...and pooper. luckily, he aimed for both his parents and not me. ;) sorry rebecca and tyler! you really can't be upset with a face like this, though:

see what i mean??? actually, they're just a beautiful family all the way around.

you can see the whole shoot here. thanks jacksons, for an amazing shoot!

Just because I haven't posted...

doesn't mean i haven't been busy!  actually, that's why i haven't posted.  ok, no more excuses.

now, let's backtrack a little bit...

meet baby R.  this post is long overdue, but definitely worth the wait, because he is one absolutely adorable baby boy!  here are my faves.  you can see the entire shoot by clicking here.

Good News & Bad News

the good news is, i have some really adorable pics to post pretty soon, like this little guy.

see, i told you he was adorable!!!
the bad news is that with school starting on monday and my new work schedule, it's really going to limit the number of clients i can take this fall.  i really hate to do it, but i'm only going to be able to take a few. sorry!  i'll do it on a first come, first serve basis.  so, if you want to be first on the list, just email me.  my rates are $95 for up to 5 people, an additional $25 per person after that.  it will include all the regular perks, like a disc of all the pics (with a guarantee of at least 30 different pics) and my faves being posted on here for friends and family to download for free.  the best part, for you one-stop-shoppers, is that now you can even order prints of the pics on my website for pretty cheap and have them delivered right to your door.

also, i finally got around to uploading all of the pics from my last post, which you can see here. enjoy!

A Very Special Family

every now and then you get the chance to meet someone who touches your heart.  i got to meet a whole family of such people.

chad and brendalyn are two of the most loving and amazing parents. after ten years of marriage, you can see that the love between them is stronger than ever.

mr. A is the sweetest big brother you can imagine. he brought along his toy dragons, which made for some fun pics.

miss A is a very special little girl. she underwent a major operation a couple of days after the shoot and is already up and about. her cuddles warm your soul and her sweet spirit touches your heart.

little O is a happy girl whose face lights up when she smiles. she is a bundle of love!

chad's parents were on hand to help out, so i took a few pics of them, as well. they were a huge help!

i had such a great time photographing this beautiful family!
