Caroline's Birthday

My fabulous girlfriend (Stacey) asked me to come photograph the lovely Miss Caroline's 4th Birthday Party. I love birthday parties! And Stacey is my kind of birthday girl. Great decorations, fun games, the perfect party dress, and an orange and pink cupcake-cake from the sweet tooth fairy? Doesn't get much better than that. I loved every minute of it.

beautiful mama.

(in a pretty pretty dress and feather headband?) ...my kind of girl.

I adored this "pin the tail on the donkey" set!

Valerie's Bun in the Oven Shoot

Valerie stumbled upon my site and was in need of some quick pregnancy photos. (She had 4 days before her baby was due...) I was thrilled! ...because, as I had mentioned before, I REALLY loved doing my beautiful cousin jen's photoshoot and I wanted to do more, more, more pregnancy photo sessions...so I was so happy that Valerie found me! She has a great face and I loved photographing her! I wish her all the best with her new little girl (who will be arriving in the next 24 hours!)

~favorite shots~

mothers. daughters. grand-daughters. beautiful women.

Wow. I photographed these beautiful women over 6 weeks ago, but life was crazy at the time, and I didn't get the chance to post my favorites until now. This is the Begay family from the good old EC! It was such a fun/lovely/hilarious early evening shoot, and I was so happy to get the change to see them again. It's quite plain to see where these girls get their stunning good looks (ahem, their b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. mother right there in the center...) and I didn't get a bad shot in the bunch. I love, love, loved their heirloom turquoise jewelry and crisp white shirts. Throw in a couple of darling grand-daughters and a delicious little grandson, and it makes for one of my favorite family photo shoots yet.
