I’m such a bad blogger these days! I have more sessions than I can count that have not been featured here on the blog and I am going to try and fix that very soon. In the meantime, I wanted to share a few recent maternity images. I have had an abundance of maternity clients in the past few months, which means very soon I will also have an abundance of newborns to photograph. I can’t wait!

Some of these were shot “in home” and some were shot in the studio. Where you have your maternity session really depends upon the look you are going for. I hope these images can give you an idea of the difference between the two styles.

This was not quite what we had planned. The image was supposed to just be hands and no faces. But I love how it turned out even more. Mistakes can be good things!

I belong to a wonderful organization called Operation Love Reunited that provides portraits for the families of deployed military members. Recently, I was thrilled to be able to shoot maternity  portraits for Ashley while her husband served in Iraq. When their sweet baby girl was born, Daddy got to come home for a few weeks to see her and I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing him as well.

It’s Christmas eve. The presents are actually wrapped before midnight this year. Soon we will light candles and begin our celebrations. But I wanted to share some recent family sessions before I go. I had the pleasure of photographing many families this year for their holiday cards. Each one was unique and each one was a delight. Here are some of my favorite images.

Wow I cannot believe it has been a month since I have blogged. I am really behind now and I have so many sessions to share it will take me until January to get all caught up. Families, babies, maternity, and yes, many more seniors that have not yet been showcased here on the blog.

Polly braved the cold for her session earlier this month. I don’t think Polly actually knows how beautiful she is. She totally reminded me of Jessica Alba. Here are a few of my favorites.

I am in love with Allisyn’s portraits. She was up for anything, including trying out this location with several great old cars.

Tiffany and I had a very interesting time at her senior portrait session traveling over several acres of property in ATVs and then on foot to visit some of her favorite places.  Tiffany loves outdoors and nature and skeet shooting (more on that later) but she is also a fashion diva. I loved her clothing selections! This first image of her is one of my favorite images of the year and I have already had it printed for display in the studio.

She wishes she has blue eyes, but I think her brown eyes are stunning.

Taylor is one of my senior reps and I shot her senior portrait  session(s) a while ago and have been dragging my feet on blogging about it. Not because I didn’t want too. But because I loved her session so much I couldn’t decide which images to showcase. I finally gave up and decided to create a slideshow of all of her images. There is a link to the slideshow at the end of this post.

Taylor is a talented dancer, singer, and actress. She had so many fun ideas for her session and it felt like a true calaboration. She has a very joyful personality that is absolutely contagious and it has been great working with her.

A couple of my favorites. . .

Going on the record to say I did nothing to enhance her eyes. They really are this blue!You can view a slideshow of Taylor by clicking here

Miranda is the neice of one of my oldest friends. The last time I saw Miranda she was about 4 years old. Since then, she has grown from an adorable little girl, into a beautiful young lady.
