First, a head shot of Keira! OK, two! The second will be used in her first pageant on Saturday. I think I should congratulate her already -- she is SO cute! -- but I don't want to jinx it! :-)


Now, you just have to go over and visit Justin & Mary Marantz's new web site, blog site...what is it called? Its a web site but its a blog. A blog site? Its so cool -- I want one!!! Congratulations you two!!!

Sweet Keira!

I had the privilege of photographing Keira and her Mom this past week. Keira was a preemie and topped the scales at just 4 lbs 11 oz. So many tiny babies recently!!! Can you believe her Mom thinks she looks big now that she's an 8 lb'er? LOL

I love this! So sweet, and the wrinkles are in all of the right places. :-)


Here is a collage that I put together for the nursery.
Keira had just woke up from her nap. I LOVE baby yawns!!!


This may possibly be my favorite portrait from this year. I love everything about it. Look for it to hang on my wall soon!


Thanks for a great afternoon you guys!!! I look forward to the 3 month old portrait session!!!

Seth

Meet Seth. Seth is a little baby -- 4 lbs, 6 oz full term! -- and so much fun to work with! He is so advanced for his age. I know that sounds funny but he was three weeks old in these photos and was already holding his head up and rolling over. Here he is playing with his parent's rings between his feet:


He napped:



I LOVE this one of him. This is a tiny rug so you can see how miniature he is! And look at the little wrinkles on his belly. I could have played with him all day!


Angie is a GREAT Mom! Seth is number four and Angie just keeps going and going... When I had number four I cried for Clint to stay at home and not leave me with all of those babies alone. :-) After the first day I realized they weren't going to take over, but still, it was scary and I had hormones and things happening. Angie is always smiling, always doing and her children always look so well cared for and happy. God has truly given her the gift of being a Mom!



I will be announcing my baby portrait plan within the next three weeks so stay tuned! I am trying to decide what the big kickoff "incentive" should be. I love to give deals, print credit, you name it -- I love to give! What do you want to see as the introductory offer? Leave a comment and let me know. If I receive 5 different comments (tell your friends!) I'll give away a free session to one of you!

Happy Hump Day!

Two posts in one day? Seriously! I saw this on [b]eckers blog and wanted to keep it going.

Oh wow! Is it September already??? Where did the summer go, and why did it go so fast?
I have kept busy with the children, weddings and photography sessions. I'll try to post a few soon but some are private so sorry! I have also had the privilege of photographing a few sessions for NILMDTS. Check them out, they are such a touching organization.
On Monday I hope to see Sandy Puc in Columbia, SC. I can't wait! Not long after that I will be introducing my new BABY PLAN!!!! Yea!!!! I have baby fever so maybe it'll help to be able to play with other's babies and then send them home, or maybe I'll be pregnant by Christmas! LOL Either way I LOVE babies and definitely have a passion for them. I hope to be THE baby photographer to go to!
On a side note, if you are a photographer you should definitely check out the [b] school. It opens October 1st. I can't wait!!!



Have a great day and I'll post some photos for you later. Right now my MIL is coming from FL to stay with us and I have to clean clean clean!!! Hurricane season is so not fun!
See ya later!
