A couple of weeks ago, I met the ‘H’ family at Economy Park in Beaver County ,PA.  I had been chatting with the mom quite a few times over the last few months.  We discussed all the details – where to meet, what would be the best time, what would be the best type of location, what type of look does the family want, what types of outfits would look best, what colors would work best with the location we chose.

And I just knew, with all of our preparation and consults, that this would be an absolutely wonderful session.  I LOVE planning out session details with clients and I had a feeling this would be an amazingly beautiful session.

And I was right!!!!

We met on a late Sunday afternoon.  It was a perfect day.  It was warm and the sun was shining.  And their little girl was such a doll and quite the pistol.  She had me in stitches the entire time.  Especially when we were about 5 minutes into the session and she announced “I’m done!”.

I think you will have to agree that this was definitely a perfect session with a gorgeous family!!!!!

Thank you all so much!!!!  It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you all!!!

Until next time!!  XOXO!

I can’t believe it but THIS LITTLE MUNCHKIN has actually turned one!!!!!  Yes, sweet baby E celebrated her first birthday last Friday.  And we could not have asked for a better day!

We held the session at baby E’s home.  She actually lives on a sheep farm!  How perfect is that? We were also so incredibly lucky to actually have a one week old lamb willing to join us for a few pictures!  To top it all off, it was a beautiful and warm spring morning and sweet E was [mostly] full of smiles.  We even ended the session with a good old fashioned cake smash which was a rip-roaring success!!

And now, onto the photos!!  There were too many I absolutely LOVED!

These next two shot of E and her mom I just adore!!!!!  Love me some honest-to-goodness Mama-love!!!!

And if this the most perfect depiction of a little girl celebrating a Happy Birthday…I don’t want what is!

And lastly an outtake that I just love….what happens when Mommy walks away for 1.2 seconds….

Thank you so much Leo and Joe!!!  I love you all and can’t wait until next time!!!!

XOXO!!!!

I was SO honored to have the opportunity to take newborn portraits of the, very adorable, Miss Makenzie!!!!

Makenzie’s big brother was a very special little one to me as he was my first newborn shoot – over 2 1/2 years ago!!!!  Big brother Chase was SUCH an easy newborn to photograph.  I think I have to credit much of my love of newborn photography to getting such a wonderful first client!!!  And his little – and oh-so-adorable sister?  She was just as sweet and easy!!  She rarely fussed and she slept most of the session.  You can’t ask for much more than that!

Makenzie’s session was a few weeks before Christmas, and grandma wanted to get some nice Christmas shots. We also got a few  shots of the very happy family.  What a wonderful morning!!!!  I just love my job!!!!

Onto the pictures!!!

Thank you all so much!!  I just loved getting the opportunity to meet and photograph your newest little one!!!!!

And if you or someone you know is having a baby soon – check out my winter newborn promotion!!!!

Until next time!!!  XOXO!!!

Yes, usually my blog post for a session occurs [way too many] months after the actual session.  But in an attempt to get things back on track,  I am going to try to start blogging each session RIGHT after I finish editing the session.  So my blogging is definitely not going to be in chronological order of sessions.  Oh well, I guess it is my blog and I can make my own rules!  Right?

This family is originally from the Oil City area, but now live in Pittsburgh.  They still have a cottage by the river though and they really wanted to get some fun family photos in a place that has lots of meaning to them.  And, interestingly enough, not only do they love this area because of their river cottage, but also because it was where they got married!!!!  How sweet is that?????

We had to reschedule this session due to weather, and BOY did we luck out with a new date!  It was a gorgeous Sunday morning.  Not to hot, not too cold, JUST right.

This family really wanted lots of fun and candid shots.  And we got LOTS.  In fact, I had so many fun shots I really had a hard time narrowing my final picks down.  I ended up with a few more than usual!

Here are some of my [many]  favorites of the day.  What an amazingly cute family!!!!  So sweet, and I loved them with all their very different personalities – from the beautiful teenager, the cute and oh-so-sweet pre-teen, the rough-housing boy and the crazy and adorable ” baby” sister!  I know sometimes mom and dad get frustrated when the kids don’t seem to be cooperating, but to be honest, I love when I can capture photos that capture exactly who the kids are right now.  No worries!

Now, onto the photos!!!!!

Thank you all so much!!!!  It was SUCH a pleasure spending a Sunday morning with you all!!!!

Until next time!!!  XOXOXO!!!!

Earlier this summer (actually spring!), I had the privilege of  taking one year photos of the oh-so-adorable Meredith.  It was a beautiful late spring day and we started the session right after Meredith’s morning nap.  She was full of smiles from the minute I poked my head around the corner.  Once I saw that smile and that beautiful red hair and I knew this was going to be an amazing session!!!  She was just full of personality!!!!

All of Meredith’s family was so kind and fun to work with. I took photos all throughout their home – including the bathroom! -  and we ended the session with some photos at a nearby park.

Here are just a few of my favorites – it was so hard to choose!!!!  I just loved them all!!!!!

Thank you all so much!  It was such a pleasure working with you!!!!
