It's a Boy!

We had our ultrasound yesterday which revealed that I am definitely carrying a little boy. He is healthy and weighs 11 ounces. I was hoping for a girl since there are plenty of boys in our family already, and almost everyone I know that is pregnant is having a boy... but I know we will have a wonderful time being parents to a little boy too. :) He'll be adorable and say the cutest things.. and hopefully be interested in everything his daddy will be doing so he can learn how to work on cars, fix household problems, build things, and be very helpful in his later years. lol And a boys name was one thing we could agree on even before we tried to conceive so we dont have to try and agree on girl names anymore!

And just a reminder to anyone else reading this... the studio will be closed from April 24th to May 10th. So if you were hoping to have pictures back by mothers day and didn't order them by Monday - its too late now. I wont be able to do it. I also will not be replying to emails during this time, and I will be screening my calls but most likely not returning calls either. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Abigail

Abigail will be turning three in a few more days, and as is typical of that age group, she wanted little to do with having her picture taken today. I think she did pretty considering. We ended up outside down the road and got some really cute ones that I think her parents will enjoy more than the ones we got in the studio. There's just nothing like outdoor portraits for children!

Jasey

Yesterday I had a short notice session with sweet little Jasey. She has such a sweet personality, and although she wasn't too sure about the lights that flash - we got some cute ones of her.

Caleb and Micah

When you have two young children with any age difference, its always a challenge to get them to look at the camera smiling at the same time. Always! Caleb is three and Micah is 5 months so today was no exception. Hopefully with my editing skills some of the created ones will suffice. At the bottom you will see two examples of my combining images to try and make one more pleasing. Aside from that, they were both very cute little boys and I think we got some good shots of them individually. Here are some from todays session:









Here are two of my efforts at combining images to make new ones. You can click on them to see them larger:

Ella's 1 Year Portraits

Ella came from out of state for this session. She is such a sweetie! She started her session by coming up to me and giving me a hug. We were racing inclement weather so we started with a few portraits outside - but Ella seemed to prefer the indoors yesterday. We still got some darling pictures of her. Here are some of my favorites:

Maternity portraits

This session was from Saturday. Jennifer knew exactly what she wanted after having browsed my portfolio... simple, sweet, and classic. I really enjoyed meeting them and look forward to meeting their new baby in a couple of more months! Here are some of my favorites from their session:

Shelby and Chase Married

Shelby and Chase were married on Friday April 3rd. Its hard to believe that this was my last wedding. Due to changing circumstances I think its best that I quit weddings and just continue with my portraiture. I enjoyed the journey and met a lot of wonderful families over the years.
Here are some highlights this wedding:

Lucia's 3 month portraits

I'm just getting all kinds of beautiful babies lately!! Lucia is no exception certainly and was a delight to photograph. Here are some of my favorites:
