Welcome

Holiday Schedule~

Just a quick reminder to all those considering holiday sessions this year. With fall being the most popular time for portraits, my calendar is quickly filling for October and November. September is almost booked, but I do have a few days left and can usually wiggle things around to be accommodating. However, if you are thinking about booking a holiday session, now is the time to call or email. Also, if you are thinking about reserving a newborn session, please contact me soon so that I may mark your due date on my calendar.As a little incentive, all sessions booked between today and October 5th will receive $50 off their Classic session fee. Session must take place by October 10th in order to qualify for discount. Call fast though, as there are only 5 remaining slots for this time frame!  

Brynn~

I am very happy to introduce little miss Brynn:) She is the baby sister of one of my all time favorite baby boys (still holds the record for sleepiest/fastest newborn session!), and I was so excited to meet her this summer! She was just as good to me as her big brother was just 17 short months ago.

And I can’t end this post without showcasing just a few of little Caden! I can’t believe how much he has grown! He’s SO adorable, and SOOOOO fast! Can you tell, I literally had to corner him just to get him to stop and laugh at me!  denney_81.jpg

Grant~

Little Grant here is quite the miracle baby, and very loved by his family….especially big sis! She might not be too interested in playing with him right now( I mean really…newborns can be incredibly boring to a 3 yr old!), but she sure does show interest. They will be best of friends:)

Happy Birthday Hanna!!!

Today is a bittersweet day for me. My babies birthdays usually are for me. While I am so excited to see them grow, and become these beautiful little individuals, my heart still aches a little to see them leave the baby stage. As is the case with little miss Hanna. I grew up listening to my mom say “it seems like only yesterday”, and now, do I ever know what she meant. I can still remember every last detail, smell, sound, and chill from the day she was born.

The birth of your baby is always a miraculous day, but sometimes it can throw you a little curve ball. As many of you know, Hanna spent some time in the NICU, preparing her lungs for the world and being treated for an infection. That, I will say, was the hardest week of my life. Still, a whole year later, it brings tears to my eyes. I am soooo grateful and blessed that I have my baby girl here with me, but what I would have given to not see her uncomfortable.

The NICU nurses probably got tired of me asking, “will this traumatize her? will she ever be happy after this?” For some reason, I had it in my head that there was no way this little baby could be happy, after all this stress! What was I thinking?! Miss Hanna is the most happiest baby I have ever, EVER laid eyes on. People stop me everywhere we go to tell me how happy she looks! There is rarely a moment when you don’t see a smile on this little one’s sweet face. She exudes light, and warms up my whole world. I could go on and on about what an amazing little baby she is, but you would never get it, unless you met her. Plus, quite frankly, I don’t want to tear up over my morning coffee;)

So anyway, I will not hog up this blog with words anymore…..just with photos. I have too many favs through the year to post, so this will do for now. Until we do her bday photos later today!

 First, miss Hanna in her first week. So tough seeing your baby like that, as many of my readers know first hand. I still feel these images are such an important part of her life, so I have a few around my house.

Let me just say, Mercy is a WONDERFUL hospital to have your baby. Obviously, no mom wants to leave their baby in the hospital, and when they have the space, Mercy will let you stay in one of their pediatric rooms, and brings your baby in the room with you, once they are ready. She wasn’t quite ready to be discharged as she still needed medicine and monitoring, but they showed me how to move her with the cords. I will forever be grateful to them for allowing me to stay.

Of course I had a gazillion ideas of newborn poses, but I underestimated the fatigue I would have with toddlers and having a c-section! IE, next time around……I will be hiring someone, lol!

And last but not least, my sweet baby girl 2 weeks ago, at the beach. She is walking, and toddling along now, and I can’t wait to get out and capture her day today!!! Happy Happy Birthday baby girl!!!! Thanks for bearing with me and my long post

Evie~

This little sweetheart rates right up there with my favorite babies to photograph. I will be incredibly sad if mom gets her residency on the West coast:(

 I have been photographing little Evie since she was just a few months old. She’s about a week older then my Hanna, so it has been fun watching them grow together. She was so good to me during our session…. as always.

Switch~

When K called me to invite me to come photograph Marina’s new baby sister, she warned me that I would not recognize Marina. She said she has changed quite a bit. Of course, as parents, we all think our child has changed dramatically since birth. Well….she wasn’t kidding. I had to ask if they switched her on me!

Here’s Marina at just 2 weeks in 2007

and little Miss Marina 2 years later. Quite a difference, huh? Still just as beautiful though!

I dare you not to smile~

This little sweetheart really made my whole day during our session. I could not have asked for an easier baby to work with, and definitely could not have asked for more smiles!

Toddling along~

I can’t believe this year has gone by SO fast! Hanna is almost one whole year. She is the most amazing, happy baby I have ever laid eyes on. I could go on and on about this little cutie, but I will just post what I came here for….her first real steps.

She is just about there, trying to catch up with her big sisters. She takes 5 steps at a time, before she lands on her tush;) She’s quite determined though!
