a beautiful miracle...

Yesterday morning I got to enjoy more gorgeous spring weather with another awesome family! But more than that, I got to meet sweet Lila, who is more than a miracle! Lila was born at 24 weeks gestation--for those that don't know, this means she was born FOUR months early! She only weighed ONE POUND at birth!! That's incredible. And to look at her now, smiling, happy, thriving, talking, and almost walking! She was such a sweetheart! Here is a sneak peak of our photo shoot together...




yes, with mom's permission, I definitely put her in this awesome birdbath!

DOULBE cuteness!!!

Ok, so yesterday evening I had one of the most fun shoots ever! I got to play with twin brother and sister--Ian and Paige! Even though they were not quite feeling up to par, we captured some of the most adorable moments! Their mom, Anne, picked out some FABULOUS clothes for them too!!! Oh my goodness, the first outfits, with Paige in this beautiful long dress, and then the 2nd outfits with bright bold fun colors!! We played on the golf course, in their gorgeous backyard!, and in a fantastic water fountain! Capturing moments like these are MY FAVORITE! I hope you enjoy a sneak peak....

oh the sweetness:

beautiful Spring evening...

Last night was such a beautiful Spring evening! The air was warm and the sun was gorgeous! I got to play with a sweet 2yr. old and his precious 2month old baby sister! Here is a quick sneak peak before I hit the bed!! Check back tomorrow for a FUN FAMILY and TWIN photo shoot from this evening!

stay tuned!

I also had another shoot today (this evening) but I'm too tired to get a sneak peak posted tonight! I promise to have one up tomorrow....but then I have three more shoots before Sunday, so you'll just have to stay tuned to see what's going on in my world!

baby Cameron

I got to meet yet another tiny newborn today! Well, I use the word "tiny" loosely, b/c he actually weighs TEN pounds! Yep, his parents are quite proud of his size:) Here's a sneak peak for you to enjoy!

the STAR of the show....





mom and dad are cat lovers, so they wanted to have these kitties in a picture with baby Cameron to represent their real kitties that were the least bit interested in my photography:)



I LOVE these next two...almost like silouette pictures...



my new favorite newborn shot...in the crib!


don't worry....if you schedule a newborn shoot with me I will not make you take your clothes off!!!--mom and dad wanted this picture of them all "appearing" nude...

Karly and Steve

WOW! What a day!! I spent 12 hours with Karly and Steve on Saturday capturing all the memories of their wedding day! They are so much fun:) We started at T Reid and Company salon (in Dilworth)! the CUTEST place ever!! The girls spent hours there getting primped and beautiful! Then we headed to the Holiday Inn Center City to get dressed and ready! The wedding took place at the Levine Museum downtown on 7th St. It was such fun being downtown for the wedding! Here are a bunch of favorites from the day! Congrats Karly and Steve!!!



the sweet couple in love...

we paraded down College St. from the Holiday Inn to the Museum!


yes, we even jumped out into the middle of the road for some fun shots:) don't they look like MOVIE STARS with those "wedding-day Ray Bans" on?!!
