New Born: Marissa Ellis Grace Beatty

Here is a sneak peek of little Marissa. Three weeks ago she decided to join the world even though her due date was 11 weeks away. Baby Beatty is quite the fighter, just like her mom, surprising everyone with her progress. She's a beautiful tiny miracle that is already bringing joy and love to many! Beth and Mike thank you for letting me meet your precious little girl. I couldn't have asked for a better shoot to start of 2011. I'm looking forward to many more sessions with Marissa...and a few snuggles too ♥

Newborn: Coleman

Meet Coleman, a sweet baby that's already stole the hearts of many, including mine. While Coleman and Mary were in town visiting family this holiday I was able to sneak over to meet this little miracle man and shot a mini newborn session. Is he a doll or what?! I had a great time with Coleman and couldn't have asked for a better shoot to end a fabulous year!

Maternity Session: Mary's Edgy Shoot

Here’s a little teaser from Mary Elizabeth Flom-Michaels session. Not only is this mom a talented singer, song writer but she's also without a doubt - gorgeous! Special thanks to Jeff Kapfer for not only renting us his Bird Loft but for also painting this beautiful baby belly ♥

Sanderlin Family Session

Here's a sneak peek from my session with Tracie, Craig, Alex and Michael. I was lucky enough to photograph Michael when he was a newborn, crazy how time flies! Now a year later mom wanted some family pictures just in time for the holiday season. Of course it's winter with a twist...how about staying warm for the holidays?! When Tracie mentioned that she wanted to stage a topical location for their pics I was definitely game. Even though I was battling a foggy lens from all the humidity, I think the shots turned out great, Thanks for a get time guys and my "assistant" Gavin says that he and Alex will have to have a snowball rematch next year ;)

Wedding: Angie and Evan

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Port ♥ What an amazing day to match a beautiful couple inside and out!! Angie and Evan were referred through a friend of a friend that heard of my work. Their wedding was nothing less than bliss and truly symbolized their love and commitment to each other! We chased the sunlight in Forest Park before heading to their reception at the Science Center planetarium where they entertained their Guests with a star show from their engagement day. Thanks for allowing me to capture your special day, it was a true honor!

Family Session: Dilthey Clan

OMG, I had such a great morning with the Dilthey clan, especially the little Santa's! Seriously, all the ingredients for an amazing family- humor, goodwill, sarcasm, laughter, hysteria and so much love ♥ I am so looking forward to capturing their fun next year, and the next year and the next....
