National Charity Model Search... 6 days left to vote!!!

Dear friends,
Thank you for your support of my participation in the National Charity Model Search. I've enjoyed submitting many wonderful portraits of our community's beautiful children to the contest, and I'm proud that by working together we've raised over $94,000 for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. The date to enter portrait submissions has passed, but there's still time to rally the final vote and raise more money for charity, as well as voting to keep your model in the standings. If you've been putting off placing your vote, please do so now.
Also, please urge your family and friends to vote. The contest selects America's Cutest Kid, and the winning child receives great prizes, including a $5,000 US Savings Bond and a Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera. Remember, each dollar generated by votes goes toward providing infant bereavement photography to parents who have lost a child. Interested in casting your vote?

Catching Up :0)

SO.... Do we ever really "catch up" or does the list just keep getting longer? lol I wanted to share a few of the recent images I took with some of the new props that I have. The baby "pod" (first image) LOVE IT!!! this baby was just about 2 weeks old & just fit!! She loved it in it to- very cozy! She also really liked my newest cocoon (the babies LOVE the cocoons; This one is pastel color- perfect for little girls :0). I also finally got the tire swing done (Thanks Stephen!!) (pictures at bottom)

Such a GORGEOUS Family!!!

What a happy baby!!!

The tire swing :)

"Sneak Peak"

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful "mom-to-be" last week. Here are a few "teasers" from her session. Both she & dad were so fun and easy to work with- THANKS!!

How cute is my nephew?!?!

So I got to babysit my nephew last week & I took advantage of that by shooting his 18 month portraits. Now, he is SO not a "morning kid" and these were shot in the AM, so you can see in some that he was not such a happy camper- lol.
But, still SO CUTE!!

Tiffany & Jonathan's Engagement Session

Wow! What a fun couple! I wanted to give them a sneak peek at a few of their images, so I made this short video.
Enjoy!!
