Miss O visited me last week – Such a cutie! I bet you can’t figure out where she gets her beautiful, rich hair color from! 
She was VERY intent on staying awake for the session – determined not to miss a SINGLE moment… I tried to warn her early on that I could out-wait almost ANY baby on the sleeping factor, but she didn’t believe me.
Guess who won?
I’ve been DYING to show these off on my blog ever since I photographed them for Christi at Sentimental Silver in July, but I promised to wait until she announced them on her site – which she finally did, so now I can share too!
Aren’t they just the coolest? She has them on an introductory sale right now, so visit Sentimental Silver at www.sentimentalsilver.com and buy yourself (or someone else!) something special!
This little guy looked like such a peanut when he arrived in his car seat – mom told me he was over 8lbs at birth which is definitely NOT a little guy for a first baby! It’s amazing how newborns just ALWAYS look sweet and tiny, irregardless of their weight!
This first image is one that Dad was REALLY excited about – as he told, me, he’s waited YEARS for the opportunity to do this shot. He described it for me at their maternity session – it was a portrait he had viewed at a mall display for a photographer in Tennessee – I was definitetly game to try it and thankfully little D was up for the task as well. I think it worked out pretty darn cool!
A couple more from Mr. D’s session…
Pretty serious little guy for not quite 14 days!
Here is information for Fall 2008 Holiday Portraits (including the ever-important holiday deadlines!)
My Fall schedule for 2008 is starting to fill up – notably for weekend appointments. Weekday sessions are still available for September, October and November. Weekend sessions are available in October and November. If you know you need a weekend sessions, I would definitely suggest booking NOW to secure the date.
A few things to note about sessions this fall:
Weekday Sessions: I shoot primarily during the day (10am or 1pm) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Later afternoon sessions may be available, so please let me know if a 4pm or 6pm session would work better for you or your family’s schedule.

My baby girl turned 2 while we were out of town on vacation – Poor girl – she really got the shaft in terms of a celebration. Her gift from us was a stuffed animal from a truck stop! Bad bad Mommy & Daddy! She did get a total of three birthday cakes over the course of a week, so she shouldn’t complain TOO bad.
These pics are from a month ago when we were in Iowa visiting my parents. I love shooting my kids on their property – they have such beautiful trees and lush grass! And the sunsets – OMG – simply amazing. I need to photograph them next time we visit.
Anyway – here is Miss Sarah-Bear:
Miss E showed up on Saturday morning with her big eyes and gorgeous grin!
How can you not smile at this one:
Grabbing her toes!
Hanging on tight to Dad!
*SIGH* – Simply beautiful!
