little newborns

I just had to share this picture from a newborn session last week. I absolutely love pictures that show how "teeny-tiny" newborns are. Here this sweet little baby is just nestled up with his daddy; it was so sweet!

I'll be posting a lot more from my recent newborn sessions later this week!

celebrate spring!

happy valentine's day!

I hope each of you have a lovely Valentine's day with your sweeties (be it your spouse or your children). This Valentine's has been such a great day to "share the love" with my family and it's been so special having a new little one at our house. Nothing beats a romantic dinner with your toddlers! :)

An availability update...
There are currently no remaining sessions available for February. If you are looking for a session in March there is one remaining weekend left on the 28th. I am also booking sessions through the end of July.

And an exciting announcement for April...
I will be running some mini spring sessions around Easter weekend. Details to follow soon!

a thank you to my clients

I hope everyone had a nice holiday season and a wonderful start to 2009. My personal life has been a bit crazy—this was our first holiday season with a second child in tow. Now I can say I truly appreciate all of the families I photograph with multiple children. I truly respect the extra effort you Mom's put forth in coordinating outfits and keeping your children clean for their pictures. I have recently discovered that it is not an easy task!

Onto the brave new world of 2009! There are a lot of neat things that will be showing up over the next month but my first big announcement is my new referral program:

Refer a new client and you will receive a $100 print credit per referral towards your future session order.

(Not to be used towards session fee).

baby quilter has arrived

I am so happy to announce that my son was born last week and about 9 days early! Our family is quite sleep deprived right now but I've been trying to snatch some pictures of him here and there when I'm able. I really appreciate all the support I've received from everyone and for those of you interested in seeing the little guy...here he is:

Another kind of photography

I had the pleasure of having a 4D-Ultrasound of my little guy this week and it was the most amazing experience! I just had to share a couple of the sweet images that came from the ultrasound. 4D-Ultrasound is such an incredible technology and the Triangle Imaging Center in Cary did such an amazing job for our family. It was really special to get a sneak peek of my son and it was so fun to watch my older son during the ultrasound as he would talk about his baby brother. If you are pregnant, this is definitely a must-do!

Pre Holiday Sale

First I have to apologize for getting the re-print sale off to a very late start! I've been trying to wrap up all my final orders from July so that I could keep everything straight. And being pregnant seems to slow everything down so I really want to thank you for your patience!

I am so happy to pass along some savings for this re-print sale and I hope it helps a little if you are thinking forward to the holidays for gift ideas or even if you are thinking for yourself (Mom's deserve a little extra indulgence here and there!) I know I just love looking at pictures of my son and it is such a joy to see his smile or silly expression captured in his photographs.
