Halloween 2011

Toothless.

Do you ever get your haircut and make a big change

and wish you had proof of how it used to be?

Well, this was a good solution.

Butterflies

Baby G

Is there anything more precious than a sleepy newborn?

I was so excited when her mom called me.  I wanted to do pictures, but didn't want to bother her. 

After all, this was only a 6 day old baby. 

I got to spend the afternoon with this beautiful little one and her mom. 

It was loads of fun!

The comfort of a mother's hands. 

 Relaxed.

 She was a little less than happy about us messing with her. 

 I think you have to take pictures of the crying too. 

How else would you remember?

 A bright pop of color for a bright personality. 

I'm going to miss this girl.

This might be my favorite. 

I just think she looks so sweet . 

It's all about those sweet cheeks. 

Easter Dresses

Audrey's birthday is around Easter and Karin's is around Christmas. 

This could work out well for photo opportunities as they grow up. 

So, this is the belated 4-year-old shoot with little sister.

I love the personality captured here.  So sweet!

Orchids

I am always amazed by orchids. 

 They are almost always a near perfect specimen of their species. 

Have you ever seen a raggedy old orchid? 

Me neither. 

These were at a friends house. 

 Her house is great for taking pictures - lots of windows. 

 And she always has a beautiful orchid somewhere. 

I was so happy to have a chance to photograph them.

I love photos of white objects when they are lit just so you can see all the other colors you miss when you assume something is just white.

This one is my favorite.
