I can't believe how fast a year goes, this little gal celebrated her first birthday, and Sara who is on top of photo sessions scheduled her session close to it. I LOVE her eyelashes, they are so beautiful, which is why I like the photos where she is looking down. The Millers are wonderful, and I look forward to our sessions each time...



Love the lashes...trying out a few 'vintage looks' to my photos...
















Such a wonderful family....




We also did a few at their home, these just crack me up with her glasses and watermelon dress...so summer!

Rae and Josh are truly awesome people, I am so excited to have them as clients! Rae was glowing, she looked so beautiful and we were blessed with a perfect morning....Josh is hilarious and kept both of us laughing. We just "clicked" and I walked away saying, "I love my job...." I can't wait for their little guy to arrive!


LOVE this photo...




















This is a photo of Rae's Dad, he passed away and this was a really important photo for her. I believe we all started to tear up...

I had the honor of photographing one of lifes most sacred events, the birth of a baby. It was amazing, and especially since I am now pregnant, a whole new perspective to say the least. Emily worked so hard, and in the end, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy daughter. It was a surge of emotions for them, and I stood back and documented in a photojournalistic style. Here are a few images-



I arrived just in time, I walked in and 10 minutes later Emily was pushing!




I love this image....

















Here she is! They did not know if they were having a boy or girl so it was very exciting.




The parents waiting and then Diane, Emilys Mom finding out it was a baby girl.












Proud grandparents and Aunt!




Emily's Dad is an eye doctor for infants, so he was just making sure everything was ok with Greta....








Just resting with Mom...












I loved this moment, when Tim gave Greta her first bath, so beautiful.




Warming up after the bath...

As you can see, we have LOTS of friends who are having babies! Emily and Tim are dear friends, neighbors and I met them when I photographed their wedding on 7-7-07. They have not found out if they are having a boy or girl, and I love this. We had a gorgeous evening that was nice and warm this past weekend. And now its cold and snowy, gotta love Colorado! We found some locations close by their home and then we ended at their parents farm which was lovely...

Tim and Emily and so much fun to be around, they have a great sense of humor and they crack me up. I will be anxiously awaiting the call about the baby! I hope it has beautiful red hair like Emily...



Emily is just adorable, I can hear her giggle when I look at this photo...

































I love this one....

I photographed Eric and Alex's wedding about 2 years ago in Costa Rica which was so amazing. Over the years, we have become friends and we hang out as much as we can. They are getting VERY close to welcoming to the world their son, Finn. I can't wait to meet the little guy-his world is going to be full of adventures with such cool parents!

I could not have asked for more the day of our photo shoot: gorgeous light, Alex looked amazing and our location was lush and green. At one point during the photo shoot, Eric was looking at Alex, I commented on how beautiful she was and Eric simply said, "I win"...couldn't agree more!















Molly, the coolest dog in the world also joined the photo shoot, I love this photo!











This location just simply rocked!




















Molly!

I photographed John and Saras wedding a few years back, and now they are ready to welcome a new addition! They are also dear friends of ours, and I loved documenting this special time for them. We had a beautiful evening, great light and a perfect location. I can't WAIT to meet the little guy in a few weeks!!!


I think this is a top pick for me, I had this one enlarged for the studio display wall.

This will be an event you don't want to miss! Take part of an evening full of art in historic downtown Louisville!

Words can even describe how lucky I feel when I know I have the best clients. I photographed Jami and Rodgers engagement photos, wedding, maternity photos for their first child, a photo session once Aiden arrived and now their new beautiful baby girl Evelin. I LOVE having life long clients! This is what its about for me. And, I visited their home for this photo session and my photos were everywhere, I have to admit I felt proud.

Onto the photos! I could not believe how big Aiden is, how much he looks like Rodger and how Evelin looks like Jami. Truly a wonderful family. Here are a few to share-











Aiden was very excited about holding his sister, so much so we had to make sure he was not putting the 'choke hold' on her...









We did very similar photos for Aiden, its great to replicate them with Evelin.




I just love this image...her latest thing is putting her toes in her mouth.




This next series of images were just too perfect. She was loving being naked! How about the beautiful blue eyes? Wow...
















Both of the kids have awesome rooms, Aiden is hanging out reading for a bit here...








His lashes!!!

I was very excited to meet this little lady! I photographed Melanies maternity photos as well at their home (which has gorgeous light). Miss Lila was a charmer during her photo shoot as you can see. Here are some of my top picks!








Mom was helping me get a smile from Lila, it worked!




I love this photo-snuggled in on a super soft blanket and a great smile...




Lila kept holding her hands like this, adorable...and then how can you go wrong with a little baby butt....

I just LOVE this family. Sara is such a great person that I look forward to our sessions because it means we can catch up and talk! And, I am always excited to see Miss Lillian and her adorable outfits. This time, WAY to cute, little girl overload, it was perfect. As always, Lillian does wonderful during her photo shoots. The weather was a typical early Spring day, and we took advantage of the beautiful day before the storm rolled in.

I received a call from Sara when she saw their photos for the 1st time, and it made my day, she was thrilled with the results!

See you in May for your Lillians 1 year photos....




Sara came with this adorable pink number for Lillian, but wait until you see the boots!




Tights, furry boots and furry pink jacket, pretty much the cutest little girl ever!








Outfit change to a fun green dress. I love these photos of Sara and Lillian-so close to walking!








Back at the studio while Sara stepped out for a minute, I grabbed these of Lillian with her hat on, these turned out to be some of their favorites...
