Jaden

I think Jaden is a beautiful little boy (although, at 7 months I told him he has beautiful eyes and he burst into tears.. lol). He just looks so sweet and precious in his dressy blue outfits on the white - I just love these:

Katie

Katie is such a beautiful baby girl - but she was not happy about having pictures made yesterday. She's still precious even though she didn't really even grin in her pictures. These are some of my favorites:







I just love this hat!

Jessica

I met this family when their oldest daughter was just a three-month old. Baby number 2, Jessica, is now six months old so we tried to get a few family shots and sibling shots. These are my favorites from the session:

Little Eli

Eli is so adorable. These are some of my favorites from his 9 month portraits session. Since its summer, his big brother got to come too which was nice. Anyway, enjoy!

Old Photo Restoration

This is a wedding picture of my great grandmother Asta Hansen Fleming. My relatives believe the wedding was in 1924 but we're not positive; it may have been earlier. But 1924 was the year they moved into their Estate that is still in my family. (the Estate was built in 1879 and is pretty cool!) She was born in Denmark and moved to the Virgin Islands at age ten. Her husband George Alexander Fleming was third generation Irish on St. Croix. Anyway... the wedding photo has been damaged. It had been in an oval frame, stuck to the glass, and then the glass broke and not all the pieces of glass would come off without further damaging the picture. So.. I took a picture of it, and have restored it for my family to enjoy. I am pretty pleased with the results.
You can click on any of these images and they will come up larger for viewing.

This is the original photograph I took of the photo, next to my initial restoration:

Here I have added in the background to make it a full image instead of just oval, and then edited the coloring and contrast more.

This was the final result:

Grace's 2 month session

This was a special session for Grace and her family because Grace's grandmother, aunt, and great-grandmother were also able to come. We were able to get a picture of the great-grandmother with her two daughters, and also a four generation picture with mommy and baby Grace. Very special! Of course we were able to get some precious ones of Grace too.. such a doll. Enjoy!

Mary Campbell

Sorry I have been MIA .. I took two weeks off because I had family come in from out of town and hosted my husband's family reunion here. But, I'm back in gear for any summer sessions.

Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting a new little girl. Mary Campbell is only 3 weeks old although she seemed more mature than that. The christening gown was an important image for this family as the gown itself has been worn for many generations.. it was very old and delicate. The rest are some sweet moments shared by the family... enjoy!

Brayden's six month portraits

Brayden did so well today (or technically yesterday since its now 1am) even though it was a challenge to get him to smile big. He is such a cutie.. and so is his cousin who came along! These are some of my favorites from his session:
