Cohen's newborn session

What a fun morning this was! Sam and Laurie are having a blast getting to know their little guy and it was fun to watch them together. The little guy was a trooper - after a bite to eat he put up with a lot from me. Thanks again, you guys are wonderful!

Cohen will definitely be a Boston Red Sox fan! Aren't those socks the cutest??!

Sam was ADORABLE with his little guy - he even showed me how they did their excercises together!

Aunt Lindsey was there, too!

Tiny baby toes are the best...

...and fingers.

Sam is a guitar player, so this blanket was very fun!

Yeah for "Baby T"!

Back in June I posted some images from Laurie's beautiful pregnancy session, see them here. Well, "Baby T" as they called him in Mommy's tummy (for their last name) arrived on August 14th! He is just adorable! I was lucky enough to get to visit them all in the hospital on Day 2. Congratulations guys! Love to you all!

My Joshua was in wonder at the little guy...

Brand new family...

Precious!

The Beautiful Pacific Northwest

I was lucky enough to take a girls only trip to the Northwest! Here's a taste of the fun and adventure that spanned from Portland, Oregon to Seattle and Coupeville, Washington, and included trips on the Washinton State ferries! So fun!!! Thanks for the memories, ladies!

Laurie's pregnancy

Laurie has been a wonderful friend for a long time - since middle school; she's beautiful and so fun. So it was indeed a special day for us when we did her pregnancy session while awaiting the arrival of her first little one. We had a ton of fun playing with all of my wacky ideas and made some pretty cool shots. Thanks Laurie for who you are, and thank you for the fun of that day! Can't wait to play with the little guy soon!

Laurie and her husband, Sam, are BIG travelers, and the baby's room is done with the theme, "Oh the Places You'll Go!" So, naturally, we had to get a picture with Laurie and the book that started it all!

Generations

I had the privilege to photograph 4 generations of the Cicotello family after the new additions of two baby girls! One of my favorite parts of my job is getting a glimpse of the amazing people and families there are out there and this family was a treat. It was truly an honor to be around such a sweet family! Thanks for the fun!

Blue eyes and bouncy balls are cool!

Documenting a first birthday and then romping in Westminster City Park for some family pictures of made for a photographer's dream day. Especially when I got to photograph the amazing blue eyes of the Sjerven boys! There was definitely a love of bouncy balls with these guys and their joy was contagious throughout the morning. Thank you, beautiful family!

Rose

As promised... another flower picture! This is one of my new roses and its been fun to watch how the sun can change its colors during the day.

Daily - African Daisies

You may see a lot of flowers and plants in the upcoming Daily pictures. I love gardening, and though I am by no means a very accomplished gardener, as the warm spring weather inspires me, I find myself outside in the garden a lot! These are African Daisies... and to quote an old favorite movie, "don't you think daisies are the happiest flower?" Want to order greeting cards or a print of this image?

poppies - beginning the "Daily"

My new poppies! These are going in the flower garden when it gets rejuvinated on Friday. I thought this would be a bright way to start my "Daily" posts. I'm going to try to take a picture of something - anything - most days. Knowing the demands on my time, I have to accept that it won't be every day, but the idea is that "Daily" there is something beautiful, exciting, sweet, important, normal, fun, enjoyable.....well, you get the picture. There's always a picture waiting to be taken, a story to be told. Hope you enjoy, and I'd love your feedback!

John's Wedding

My amazing brother, John, is married! We all had so much fun at their beautiful wedding, and it was a special treat and honor that Joshua was the ring bearer/bell ringer! He had a blast doing his "job". I'm so blessed to welcome a wonderful new sister-in-law, Johanna, to the family! Congratulations, guys - we love you!
