Jason, a natural ladies-man

---

Jason came in at 2 months with his mom, grandma, and "auntie". He was so sleepy when we first started and just had all the ladies coo-ing over him as he snuggled in and made himself comfortable. After a few minutes of snuggling we had to get to work and capture some great images of him. Although I couldn't seem to get him to smile I still feel that we got some beautiful image of Jason. He has great big eyes and I did catch a dimple when he smiled (of course, my camera was put down at the time). After the session I got a turn to hold him and I have to tell you, he had me melting. Such a doll!

Oh, and Jason's mom, Kimberly B, was recovering from a kidney stone removal. Can you believe how wonderful she looked? Her skin just glowed and for a new mom I have to say she has been one of the best-put together new moms that I have worked with. She looked fabulous, not tired at all. How did she do that?

Congratulations on your handsome little man.

Violet 4 months

---

My little Violet is growing up fast. She's 14lbs now and full of smiles. She's a very mellow baby and she is content just sitting there cooing with you for hours. I actually blew dry her hair for this photograph. Daniella who is still working on her hair freaked out when she saw me with the blow dryer and took off running to hide in a corner when she saw me turn it on. She's not to sure what to make of a dryer because I rarely use one on myself and other than the occasional quick blow on her back I have never used one on her. I love this photograph because it's exactly Violet. Just a sweet little smile.

Our Little Family

---

My friend and fellow photographer, Nancy Degenkolb, came out from Texas to visit and took our family portrait. It was madness trying to get my hyper 2 year old to sit still as well as my dog who wanted to go lay out on the grass. My littlest one was falling asleep as Warren and I tried our best to look good and comfortable. In the end we did get a nice portrait. I would have loved to have the girls smiling, but today wasn't going to be the day. Thank you Nancy for working with us. I'm still glad that we are able to capture this time in the girls life. Violet is now 4 months and this was the first time that we had one of our friends photograph our family since Violet was born. Baby changes so much so fast so I know that in another 2 months she would look so different if we waited. I love my family. They're such great fun.

No fair, I have to say Happy (the dog) looks the best. He didn't even brush his hair for this session.

Introducing Little Zackary

---

Little Zackary born just this past Saturday, September 8, is one healthy good looking boy. He's completely perfect and beautiful. I would like to congratulate the proud parents, Dan and Vicki Schrager on their new little bundle of joy. I went to visit Vicki today and took a few images of Zackary while he was sleeping. I was hoping to take a few more, but I had my little Violet and my big little person, Daniella with me. So as you can imagine, visiting time was limited. I can't wait to come up and visit with Zackary some more next time. Congrats!!

Gorgeous Rockstar

---

Madi is the sweetest little rocker I know. She came in with the idea in mind that she wanted to create some images that would work well for her CD that she's working on. We went through a few outfits, took an array of rocking images, and had a great time. Here are some of the images we got from the session. My only complaint was I didn't get a private encore from our singer. I can't wait until she gets her first signing contract.
