The short trail around the pond at Logoly is approx. one mile long. This little guy walked *most* of it!

Good Sports...

Wow! Its been a crazy holiday season, and I am reminded of how I was just getting started this time last year. I am so thankful for all of the great families that I have photographed in the past year. Its been a lot of work, no doubt, but its also been fun. I've enjoyed getting to meet so many people!

This Thanksgiving I will be taking a bit of a break to spend the day with my own family. We'll cook and relax and just enjoy the day! I'm soooo looking forward to it! But don't worry, if you are waiting on proofs or have placed an order, I will be spending the rest of the weekend catching up. I will be sending lots of emails with news of proofs posted, prints delivered and cards to preview.

Now, on to the pictures...I love clients that have a sense of humor (you'll know what I'm talking about at the bottom of this post, ha!)

It was very overcast on this day, even threatening to rain, but the sun showed up at just the right time. I love the yummy light!

A few out-takes that I just couldn't resist including...pls don't hate me Tarrah! (You've gotta love a 3yo!!!)

This one is for all of the Mom's out there...we've all been there!

I ♥ Fall

This session was done at the peak of the fall colors at Logoly. A couple of days later, when I was out there for my next session, these colors were gone.

Fun in Town...

I met these little guys in town for a shoot last week. These late fall afternoons have been perfect for pictures.

It took every trick in the book to get these smiles!

Another portrait of a gorgeous mommy!

This morning I got to take a much needed break from editing holiday pictures for the birth of this beautiful baby boy! It was such an honor to document the first moments of his life for this family!

This is the third birth that I've gotten to photograph...and each one is so amazing...so emotional...and such a miracle. Days like this remind me of how great God really is! What a blessing!

Four Little Monkeys...

I'm slowly getting caught up on all of my holiday sessions...its been a great season for pictures. I've enjoyed seeing all of the kids that I've photographed in the past and meeting new ones!

You would think that four little kids in one shot would be hard, but these guys made it look easy! The Moms were well prepared and that made all the difference!
