Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T14:19:00.005-05:00

Since it's Halloween, I thought I would post a few pics I just took of Ian in his costume. For awhile now he wouldn't even wear a costume, but since all his favorite TV shows have been doing Halloween episodes and dressing up, he decided he wanted to too. We also got him excited to go trick or treating and get candy. It's all he will talk about today. We are all really looking forward to tonight! I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.

November Special-Half off Session Fee

2008-10-27T22:23:00.006-05:00

As some of you may know, I'm pregnant with my second son and due in Dec. So as my last month to do any sessions before my maternity leave, I've decided to run a special. Any session booked in November before Thanksgiving (my maternity leave will start at thanksgiving) the session fee will be half off. This applies to any kind of session, but will not apply to packages. This is a great time to take advantage for a family or newborn or really any kind of session before Christmas. I'll leave you with the few maternity pics I've taken of myself and one of Ian with his pirate pumpkin.

London's 1 year portraits

2008-10-13T10:03:00.002-05:00

We headed back to the botnical gardens for London's one year portraits. Her mom decided to try out a lollypop instead of cake. She definatly enjoyed it and was mad when we took it away. We had a great time yet again.

Ian's turning two

Toddler Twins

I've been photographing these twins since they were born. It's awesome to see them grow. This is their last session in their baby plan, and it was great to see them walking and exploring. We all had a great time.

Newborn Sweetness
