My cousins have a sweet baby – *J* – who I took some shots of over the weekend!

I LOVE THAT LAST SHOT! *J* – I AM YOUR FATHER!

Jill referred a wedding client to me from August and won a free session!

We had been trying to make this appointment for quite some time and finally fit it in last month!

Thanks again *W* family!

I went to high school with John and then met Brandy through church a few years ago – they were married in May and their baby girl is the sweetest!

Thanks again Brandy & John – *M* is so sweet!

Emily is a God appointment. We met on FACEBOOK and she wanted to book a session for her baby girl – due October 11th – the same date that we were due. We wrote back and forth and I shared my struggles with her. We prayed (and still do pray) for one another. Her sweet baby *A* was born a few weeks early and we managed to schedule a session for October 16th.

I was looking forward to meeting Emily in person – and a little nervous about meeting this sweet baby that was due the day our sweet baby was.

Emily made me feel like such a friend from the moment I walked in her door. We talked and talked – about life and it’s fragility – about God and His promises – about love and peace and fear.

Emily – THANK YOU so much for being such a great friend – and for sharing your sweetness with me.

SHE IS SO SWEET!

Emily – thanks again for everything!

I wanted to try out a few new ideas with Dave & Jenna – and they were such willing participants!

Jenna & I were so excited about the idea of being pregnant at the same time and having babies so close in age. As you know, this has been a really rough year for me – and this session was no different. When I look at Jenna – or any pregnant woman for that matter – all I see is what I would have been – what I want so badly. This session was very hard for me – but I wanted to capture the beauty and emotion of pregnancy – what it means to me …

They were such great models – and I am so thankful that they allowed me to share these photos with you.

Thanks again guys soooooo much for sticking with my crazy ideas!

Can’t wait to get some newborn shots of your sweetness!

Corrin contacted me after seeing my website on the Chamber of Commerce website! We met last Sunday – the 4th – for a family session with her hubbie and 3 cute kiddos!

Thanks again *R* fam! Can’t wait to do it again!

My cousin Heather and her boyfriend Steve had a baby in July – *B*. I posted a few shots of him when I visited them in the hospital – and I saw him again for a quick session at my parents!

Heather – he is such a sweetie! Thanks for coming up to the house!

I have been doing portraits for Mandy and her family since October. Her son’s first birthday – Christmas photos – the maternity session for her sweet little girl. Her mom wanted some family photos done last week with everyone!

Thanks again guys! Thanks for being willing to climb on the train – it worked out GREAT!

My cousin Heather had a baby boy *B* on July 9th.

Heather has had a rough few years – this baby is God’s way of giving her a second chance.

I happened to be in town on the 10th – with my camera – and stopped by to see her and the sweet babe.

He is so cute and tiny and sweet – such a blessing for Heather and her boyfriend!

Thanks for having me over for a few hours!

A few weeks ago a few of our Powerkidz were baptized. Our friend Amanda came with her new baby *L*. I did Amanda’s maternity shots a few weeks before *L* joined the family!

I can’t hold new babies very long without getting completely choked up and emotional – but Kurtis snapped a few of me before I had to give her back.

I love the way Jared is looking at me in the next shot.

He knows how much I want children and always have …
