Eyes Wide- Open

Awwww...I had another newborn session yesterday, and this little 5 day old was alert for most of the session. He slept for about 10 minutes, but that didn't matter. I was still able to get some cute pictures of him.

Take a look at a few pictues of Kyas!!!

Do Wat Ya Do...

I have really enjoyed the recent high school senior sessions I have had, and my session on Saturday was no disappointment. I had the opportunity to meet up with Dominique and his mom to take his senior pictures. Early part of the day Saturday, while I was preparing for my session, I had flashbacks of my sessions with Tre last year. Yes, I tried several times to take Tre out to get decent pictures of him, but each time he made it more and more challenging. Sit up Tre, look this way, put your phone away, a few more..LET'S GO!! That's how each session with him went, but that wasn't the case with Dominque. He was so cooporative and willing to try anything.

Dominque will be attending school in Georgia. Good Luck to you...DO WAT YOU DO!!!

Here's your sneak peek!!!

Van Halen?

Do you remember the famous Van Halen song, JUMP? Of course you do, how could you not...it was the theme song for just about every professional and non professional sporting event, as well as other events. As soon as the first notes were played, kids and adults of all ages would stand to their feet and JUMP, sing or bob their heads. How could you not...I'm bobbing my head now just thinking of the song!

On Friday, I had the pleasure of meeting Halen, no not Van Halen. Although this little Halen has the potential to be just as great as Van Halen....it's in her blood. You see, her father is a great guitar player and if she takes after him she is well on her way.

Brian + Nikki...here is your sneak peek.





And...here is an example of a birth announcement that I will be offering to clients!

Happy Easter....Belated!

Yeah, I know Easter was yesterday, but that doesn't keep me from wishing you Happy Easter! Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It always brings about a time of renewing. A time of hope. A time of sacrifice.

A couple of weeks ago, I spent time with Ms. Laryn. If you want to meet a fun, crazy, wild, entertaining young lady, then you need to meet Laryn! She has everything going for her: beauty, smarts, great personality, EVERYTHING. I tell you, if she were my daughter I would lock her in a closet and only let her out to use the bathroom! But isn't that what being a teenager is all about...a time of laughter. A time of fun. A time of excitement!!

Here are a few pictures from our "pre-senior" session. Hopefully, I will be taking senior pictures next year(hint, hint)!!!

Thanks Laryn for allowing me to try crazy things during our session!!!

Money, Money, Money...

There is something about those gummy smiles, slob dripping down chin and coos that win me over every time. It melts my heart each time I can get a sweet little baby in front of my camera, and my session with Truth didn't disappoint.

I was praying that one of those gummy smiles picture, slob dripping down chin picture, or one where she was cooing would be "THE Shot". You know, the shot that as soon as you click the shutter button that's the one you like best. The one that if you don't get another picture, getting that one is worth it all. I got the money shot with Truth, but I also got one with another member of their family. But this money shot was different. Different because I was scared to death taking this picture and if I got one picture that was in focus it was going the be the "money shot", no the MONEY, MONEY, MONEY SHOT!!!!










Mr. CASH...MONEY, MONEY, MONEY SHOT!!!
