Meet little Carter! Isn't he just sooooo cute! He was so perfect, he barely fussed, its like he has done this before:) I think he was practicing when we did the maternity session awhile back. He is so lucky that he has 2 older brothers that will protect him and teach him so much. He was so calm and relaxed during his session, even with all the noise his older brothers were making. It always amazes me how newborns can sleep thru almost anything.

Even with his older brother's giggles, he still just kept on sleeping!!!!

I think I got a little bit carried away with this entry but Leah is going to be a senior this year and she photographed so well, and look at those beautiful eyes!!! I couldn't resist, I could have photographed her all day! We had such a fun time this week with a perfect day, no mugginess. The wind did hold off a few shots for a moment or two now and then, but it was great to keep us cool and provide some great movement in her hair. I had such a fun time with you and your mom (who was an awesome reflector holder). Thanks ladies for such a wonderful day. Also, hope you had a great birthday Leah! Enjoy your photos!

About a week ago, I had another Intimate session! These are so much fun for me to do, because I can step outside the box a bit and be creative and not only that, but show the beauty in everyone. I am only showing more headshots/photos that are not as revealing on my blog, however I am working towards another website that will show off more of these images, I am thinking this should be ready in late fall (keep a watch for the release). Kelly and I had a great time, we even added some false eyelashes to enhance her gorgeouse eyes. We also decided to do something a little bit different. She wore a gorgeous corset and some slimming black pants so we decided to photograph in a downtown location. I really stress to everyone interested in these photos that sexy and looking beautiful for these photos does not have to be nude, or in lingerie! You can be sexy in whatever you feel that you look good in. Intimates can even be headshots, your options are limitless!

So, as many of you know, things have been very hectic lately, between having an office placed in the dining room for the last few months and getting ready for our son's 1st birthday, things have been a little crazy around here. Well, my office is finally done but I am still working on getting organized and my little man had his first birthday party!!! Branson turned 1!!! Can you believe it? I know I can't. A year just goes by way too fast, and he has grown and learned so much in his first year, I could not be prouder. I was so excited for his cake pictures and well, take a look, he first just looked at the frosting on his hands......................



then got sooooooo upset!

So, we stopped and figured, it was just everyone watching?!?!?! We decided to save the cake and try again the next day, and here is what happened...............

Another upset little man, he just did not like the frosting everywhere!

He has been such a good model over the past year, and I think he had his breaking point:) And he does like cake, just not all over him! LOL!

A few weeks ago I photographed one of my really good friends and her fiance for their engagement photos! We had such a blast with beautiful weather until we went to this river location, the mosquitos were awful!!!! They were such good sports and to sit their while they were being eaten alive......... Thankfully we all survived, but with a few battle wounds, lol. I had a great time Kim and Jason and a big CONGRATS! Can't wait to be a part of your special day this October! Oh, and Jason, I decided to show everyone a lot of your kissing photos;)

Intimate/Boudoir photography. This is a type of portraiture that I get asked to do often! It is not something that I currently advertise but I am considering a package option this coming fall. In my mind, these photos can be anything you desire, including a headshot. I think the biggest thing is showing off one's true beauty. These photos may be for yourself or even a gift to a loved one for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or even Valentines day. Meet Jen, isn't she gorgeous!!! She was so much fun to work with and I wish I could show them all, but we need to keep some a surprise.
