    Fall 2011 is officially booked!

Maggie + Marley {19 mos.}

Oh I just love these twin girls. I photographed their big brother earlier this year, but the last time I saw Maggie & Marley they were just a few weeks old. Needless to say they have changed a ton since then. They were way too good to me at our session and didn’t have me chasing after them too much ;) They are both as sweet as can be and have some of the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen!

Thank you to their sweet mom for such a fun morning. It was truly a joy to photograph your girls again. Hope you enjoy this sneak peek while I work on your proof slideshow!

Thank you for capturing them so perfectly! I know it’s going to be hard for me to choose which ones to get. Thanks again for a wonderful morning at the Arboretum!

Eleanor {2}

I seriously cannot believe it has already been a year since I last saw this cute little girl. Time sure does fly! Her parents seem more in love with their sweet Eleanor every time I see them, and you can clearly tell how much joy she has brought into their lives. Besides them having an adorable daughter, they both are always so kind and gracious. Eleanor’s mom even offered me one of her delicious pumpkin scones and tea when I stopped by their house a few weeks ago to talk about our session. Made my day ;) Okay, enough of me talking! Here are some favorites from our session…

Thank you mom & dad for asking me to photograph your precious Eleanor again. It has been such a joy getting to know y’all!

October 21, 2010 - 2:01 pm

admin - You are so very welcome Elizabeth! Glad you like them :)

October 21, 2010 - 12:35 pm

Elizabeth - Oh Claire these pictures are wonderful!! Thank you all over again. E

Paige {5} + Will {2}

I cannot believe it has already been a year since I last photographed these precious kiddos, and how much they have grown since then! This year we opted for something a little different than last year’s session at the Arboretum and spent a beautiful fall morning in the field.

Thanks to their sweet mom & dad for allowing me the opportunity to photograph Paige & Will again. I just love our times together!

Harper {8 Days}

I know this sweet girl’s momma has been waiting for this sneak peek, so I will be short on words today. Harper was more interested in staying awake during her session, but eventually she fell asleep for a few minutes and we were able to get some shots of her sleeping too. And while we were waiting on her to settle a bit, she gave us the biggest grin. Made all the time and sweat worth it I think ;) Thanks to her wonderful mom for being super patient! Harper is as sweet as can be and I know she is already such a joy to y’all.

October 21, 2010 - 2:02 pm

admin - Thanks Yvonne! She was a sweetheart :)

Yvonne - SO cute! I just love babies curled up like that. So sweet.

Kristen from NAPCP (National Association of Professional Child Photographers) recently contacted me and asked if I would contribute to their parent blog. I was incredibly honored, excited, and admittedly a bit nervous to write something for this wonderful association since writing has never been my strong point! NAPCP, pronounced “NAP-C-P”, is an association that among other things provides a multitude of resources to both professional child photographers and parents. Whether you’re already one of my amazing clients, a parent in search of a professional child photographer where you live, or are simply interested in learning more about this specialized niche of photography, NAPCP is a great resource for you too!

To my fellow photographers out there, be sure to go and join this fantastic association. Being a member has provided me the opportunity to connect with tons of incredible photographers, be inspired, and grow as an artist. I have no doubt that it will give the same opportunity to you!
