Thanks so much for letting me photograph your sweet little baby girl. I had the pleasure of photographing Baby A’s sister, Miss C (who just celebrated her first birthday), when she was a newborn a year ago this month. You’ve seen her here and she was the first newborn I ever photographed. And, much like her sister one year ago, Baby A decided not to sleep very much for us either. 🙂 But her daddy finally got her to sleep and I got these cute shots of this little sweetie. Enjoy!

Thanks Jenn and Chantel! The cards are templates, so I can’t take credit for the creativity…but they are even more beautiful in person! I wish I had the time and talent to design stuff that good! 🙂

The Holidays!! I’m already seeing holiday decor in stores, so I too am preparing early this year. I’ve already got in some printed samples of just a few of the cards I’ll be offering this year. Whether you prefer traditional, whimsical, modern or fun you be able to find the perfect card that suits your family’s style and personality. These are not photo cards, but are press printed on luxurious art paper and can be completely customized. The mini sessions are a great way to get a yearly photo of your family along with holiday cards, at an excellent value!
