This family was actually our very first ‘official’ children’s session back in 2007.  Since then, they have become dear friends to me and have also added a new member to their family!  I feel so blessed to have been able to share their new little love with them, and capture her sweet, squishy, newborn spirit.  The first few weeks of life in the ‘outside’ world is such an amazing and beautiful time…it’s like we want to hold on to that moment forever.  But alas, they grow!  and grow and grow!  At least we can hold on to the memories.

Introducing the much adored, Amelie Noel…

She was such a dream baby to work with… she was so peaceful, and followed direction quite well!

This one ‘might’ be my favorite…  I love them all, so it’s hard to say.

I love this last little moment!

I think big brother is still contemplating how he likes his new role!

Some of you have been to my home, which is where I’ve been doing everything, and I mean everything. As lovely as it’s been, it’s also been extremely difficult to keep focus, and give the kind of attention that I want to give to my family, the business, and the wonderful people I’ve been fortunate enough to work with…all in the same space.

I’ve recently taken a giant leap of faith, and have leased a new gallery workspace to do my work… (Yay!) So it’s in the beginning stages, but I wanted to share some BEFORE pictures.

I am just renting a room (the first picture), with access to some additional shared space in the building.

I love the sweet little kitchen, and the possibility to serve treats, and even cooking a casserole if I want to!

There’s a yoga studio downstairs…with baby and parent (dad’s too!) yoga classes, and bellydancing and salsa classes… There’s an independent bookstore with a great children’s section across the street, and a fabulous cafe across the other street… plus more good stuff in the neighborhood!

I’ll post more as it gets completed and we’ll be having an opening party sometime during the Spring, with a focus on some fun stuff for the kiddos… I’ll send out invites as it gets closer!

With the addition of this new space, I’ll also be introducing totally new (earth friendly!) products, and our new pricing for 2009 which is a new and exciting approach, that I think everyone is going to love!

Thank you to the many friends, family, and clients who’s presence, faith in me, and positive vibes have nourished me to keep growing, improving, and without whom I wouldn’t have been able to take this step. Ya’ll know who you are and that I love you!

I met R & M about a year and a half ago, and we clicked right away.  I have really enjoyed getting to know them both during this time, and have found them to be just about the most thoughtful and sweetest people I have ever met.   They are the first couple I’ve worked with to give me a gift at their wedding!  I have been kicking around the idea of officially adding weddings to my services, and after working with them, I think that I will definitely be exploring this further.  Check out their beautiful day.

Simplicity:

Okay. This is for those of you that have been waiting ever so patiently… Are they not stunning?

We met up to do portraits before the ceremony, and it was such a relaxing and sweet way to start out the photographs, and the day!
The ceremony was filled with a sweet joy.

 I couldn’t pass up these tracks!

Love to you both, forever and ever!
