I am so honored to be a photographer for www.HeartsApart.org.

HeartsApart.org provides soon to be deployed servicemen and women with pictures of their spouses and children at no cost. The photographs are printed on waterproof and durable bi-folded cards, which fit securely in their uniform pocket. HeartsApart.org believes that our military personnel deserve and need the memory of their families to carry them through the difficult times that lie ahead.

This family was just adorable, and we were all laughing when they pulled out the mustaches for some shots – I even wore one behind the camera!

They brought my new favorite prop to get this cute little man laughing… a rubber chicken! I must buy one!

Safe travels Staff Sgt., your adorable family will be so happy to be with you again soon!

I have been photographing this baby since before he was born… starting with his mother’s maternity session. Storm’s birthday party marked the finale of his Ultimate Baby’s 1st Year Package, and it was so fun to photograph his special day!

A relative with a great eye for design decorated for the party, and I was swooning over the cute details and colors!

Mom, Dad, big sister & the birthday boy!

The birthday party was held at the Tracy Aviary, in the historic Chase Mill. Guests were treated to story time, and a chance to feed two cute ducks -Salt & Pepper.

Guests were then given an up close view of owls, hawks and falcons at a private bird show, where a talented McCaw painted a special picture for Storm!

It was time to head back to the Chase Mill for the celebration…

I loved how the cake was decorated like a storm!

and at last… Storm enjoyed eating the frosting and oh yeah… there was cake in there too, lol!

Happy Birthday Storm! Have a wonderful year!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
we’re happy tonight,
walking in a winter wonderland.

I was so happy to hear from this family again this Winter for a family session. Their session last year has some of my favorite images and they are such a sweet family!

These two littles were so good in the cold! Adorable!

This Fall session is a favorite for many reasons… this mama is an amazing Montessori teacher whom my twins adore, they are a super sweet family, and this is one of my favorite locations because of this beautiful tree!

cute, cute couple!

Love this moment…

Sigh… don’t you just love Fall…

Run, whirlwind run
Further and further away
Into the sun

I love these images… the smiles and sun flare make me so happy! Great family = great images every time 😉 This family had relatives in town for Thanksgiving & booked an extended family session.

I love asking couples to give each other a huge squeeze because it always creates big smiles to match!

To help you plan your Fall portrait sessions and Holiday cards…

A fun family session in my favorite location during wildflower season…

A 3rd Birthday session for a special client of mine… Happy Birthday Millie!

She is very excited for her mermaid birthday party… don’t you just love her new dress!

A party is always good cause for a new pair of shoes…

I would love to know what she is thinking the ocean is saying in this giggle shot! I love it!

Happy Birthday Millie!!!

This cute couple met on this corner as they crossed the street 7 years ago. He told me that he knew he had to say something at that moment or he never would get the chance again. Fast forward to today… they have a beautiful 2 yr old daughter and wanted to shoot their first family session in this special spot.

Their daughter, Victoria is just adorable…

Sweet family…

Sisters.

This Winter session was shot for Holiday cards and gifts and as a surprise for their dad. The bright colors were perfect and these two are just adorable!
