How adorable is this family??!!  My favorite thing about photographing kids is making the session as interactive as possible to showcase their personalities.  As soon as they arrived, Noah & Zoey went straight for the tee pee, & immediately climbed in & started posing.

Let them eat cake.  Sometimes we all need a little extra motivation to get through a photo shoot.  So the cake not only served as a great prop for Logan’s first birthday photos but also as a great bribe to encourage him & his brother to smile at the camera.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  I hope you all have an amazing day celebrating LOVE … and eating tons of candy of course!  

I’ve known Chris & Anna for several years now and was beyond excited when they told me they were expecting and wanted to schedule a newborn session. They told me that they wanted to be surprised so they wouldn’t be finding out the gender until “baby Fry’s” arrival. Little miss Lola Grace decided to make an appearance  just 4 days after Mommy & Daddy’s maternity session!

This is my Papa.  And he’s gone.  My phone rang last night at 9:30pm & it was my Mom.  It’s rare for my Mom to call much past 8:00pm, so I knew it must be something important.  My 8 month old nephew was going into surgery this morning so I assumed that must be what the call was regarding.  “Papa just passed.”  I was in shock.  It was sudden.  It was unexpected.  We are told it was painless.  If only the loss, grief & mourning could be the same.

Baby Warren made us a little nervous at his doctor’s appointment last week when Mommy & Daddy were told that he may actually be making his appearance sooner than expected.  Xenia contacted me right away to see if there was any way we could “bump” up her maternity session.
