I always get nervous when I do shoots for friends. I guess it's because they know my insecurities and I just want it to be perfect for them. I wish all my shoots could go like they did with Tanya. It was more me recording a Sunday morning rather than a newborn shoot.



1-2-3 Awwwww....



Look at the faux hawk! It's all natural!



One more time. Awwwww....





Just chillin'



For some reason, I'm fascinated with baby crying pictures.



I tell Tanya that little boys love their mommas the most!





My Sunday Morning...











If Tanya wasn't one of my favorite people in the world, I'd hate her and her family for being so beautiful.

More to come in a few days!!

Baby Love

I'm at a loss for words.



That rarely happens.



Just ask my husband.



But, she's just too cute for words.



Little baby yawns! Ack.



You want to reach out and grab her, don't you?



Or maybe just give her a little smooch on the cheek.



She's got a cutie pie big sister, too.



Look at those cute noses!!



Awww...



Look at those eyes.



That cute little mouth.



Sigh. It's hard not to smile when you're with a newborn....unless of course you're the parents and you're going on 3 hours sleep...but, we won't talk about that now.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a little sneak peak of my newborn shoot last weekend. Doesn't she just make your heart go, "awwwww....love, love, love!"



More to come in the next couple of days!

Happy Valentine's Day!

p.s. Her father says she is too young for boyfriends. I already tried to set her up.

Portfolio!

I finally got a gallery of sorts up. I like to think of it more as a portfolio, though. I'm kind of excited about it!

Renovations :)

I'm doing some redesigns on the 'ol site. I'm pretty excited for what lies ahead. The site will have a new look and a couple of newborn shoots! Can't wait!

In the mean time, I want to give a shot out to a couple of people that have really helped me out.

My friend, Liz, makes my packaging for me. I love what she designs. I'm absolutely horrible at describing what I want yet I know exactly what I want. Easy peasy, right? :) She always gives me exactly what I envision, though. Just take a look at these beauties.



Check her blog out. Martell-isms. It's worth it!! Rumor is she'll be opening an etsy store veerryyy soon. I'll keep you updated!!

My other friend, Jan, is helping me out with some graphic design, computer layout and logo design. Jan does about everything you could want design wise. She's pulling her ideas together and developing a marketing plan in hopes of turning her loves into something a little more profitable. Hopefully in the next few days you'll be seeing her beautiful work go live. Until then, check out her blog. Jannypie Crafts. She's going through some renovations, too. I can't wait for her Indiefinable website to go live.

So that's what I'm up to while we dig ourselves out of this snow and crazy cold....and while I wait for some babies to be born!! :)

cousins

I don't know about you, but this Christmas is kicking my tooshie. I can't seem to get it together to save my life! I took these portraits a couple of weeks ago.







The whole goal was to get the three of them together but, alas, kids never like to do what us adults say.



They're cuties, though, aren't they?







Merry Christmas! and Happy Holidays!
