We love babies! We have had the most fun summer photographing babies. I can smell baby powder just looking at these precious angels. We approach each baby portrait session with the goal of creating one truly signature image for your child. The image that will symbolize this precious, helpless, miraculous time in life. Of course we can't help but take lots of baby shots for you to chose from while we are at it. Stop in the studio to see our new line of custom frame shapes and sizes perfect for the nursery and your new family wall.

Four categories to choose from Color, Black & White, Humorous or Special Needs.

Mother's Day is Sunday May 9th and we are celebrating all week May 1 - May 8th with Studio Portraits for Mom's to take advantage of this special time to Celebrate Motherhood. Give yourself a gift this Mother's Day - one you'll cherish forever. Come in for a beautiful portrait of you with your child or children - big or small. The best part is your portraits will arrive in time to give as Father's Day Gifts.

If this is your first Mother's Day don't miss this opportunity to create a special memory both you and your baby will cherish for a lifetime.

If your babies are grown, perhaps it's time for a "Generations Portrait" - Mothers, Daughters and granddaughters. Give grandma a "Generations Gift Certificate" for Mother's Day.

Why not send your child off to college with a sweet reminder of how much they are loved from home? You'd likely enjoy an updated photo with your college bound child as well when they are far from home.

There is a special bond between mother & child and age doesn't matter. I hope you'll take the time to capture that precious relationship.

Congratulations Courtney, Zach and big sister Olivia. What a beautiful baby boy!

Our "Live Bunnies & Peeps" Event was a great way to jump into Spring. The kids were so cute in their Spring and Easter finery. They loved our baby bunnies and thanks to Holland & Alivia our photo assistants and official bunny handlers we didn't have any tears or squashed peeps.

My heart is feeling incredibly tender toward mothers. You know that aching, gripping kind of tenderness?

Perhaps it is the devastating loss of life in Haiti or God reminding me of the awesome opportunity and priceless gift I have to give when capturing our love and relationships as mothers.

If I were a writer their are so many beautiful stories I could tell, stories of families adopting babies, women who prayed to conceive giving birth to miracle babies, mothers of children serving in the military, mothers with daughters battling breast cancer. As a photographer I tell visual stories but I don't always get to share them. This year I'd love to capture and share beautiful visual stories with you. I'd love to tell your story.

Look for our monthly "Celebrating Motherhood" Feature.
