My Own Session

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:07:23 +0000

Is coming up

So I’ve been thinking long and hard about some awesome and creative place to take pictures of my children and family. How will I take a picture with myself in it? Easy peasy….AUNT JEN!! Gotta love an Aunt Jen. I’m going to set up the shots, and she’s going to take them.

I think we’ve settled on a place, Smather’s Beach in Key West! I’m going to rent a Hobie Cat and we’re going to get some fun interaction images. It’s not your traditional family pose, but it will definitely be a lot of fun!

Stay tuned…

Key West Photography – Portraits of my Newborn

admin — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:52:01 +0000

Baby Silas was born August 28th! After 6 long weeks of bed rest, I was so excited to be able to see and hold the wee baby! Of course his siblings take every opportunity to sneak a hug in too.

As with all newborn sessions, I took his portraits within a few days, curly newborns are my favorite. I can’t believe it’s already been a little over a month since I delivered him. Your time with a newborn is really limited, they grow so fast! As I look at him nestled into his moses basket next to me, he already looks so different. We are enjoying each and every day, all the snuggles!

And for me, I’m slowly coming off of maternity leave. I will only be booking a couple of sessions a week through October.

I will be at the Key West Preschool Co-Op on Saturday for their Yard Sale fundraiser. If you’re in town, stop by and see me!

A Little Fun, Guess The Birthday!

As many of you know, I have been on bed rest since mid-July (at 31 weeks). Now I’m at 35 weeks, and what a relief! What could be a better way to celebrate the delivery of my new baby than with a fun little contest here on my website?!

The rules are simple:

Post a comment to THIS blog post placing your guess.
You can only guess once.
AND the contest will be open until Next Friday *unless I deliver him before that anyways!*

Freedom To Dance

Something about this series really spoke to me. There is no greater feeling than that of an uninhibited three year old. I said to her… can you dance like a princess? And in response, she gave me a sly grin, and twirled. No hesitation. Of course she can dance like a princess.

I have more photos from this session to share…so check back

Children and Kayaks, and Color Oh My!

This was the most fun session! The colors, the beautiful children, ah even the weather. I had a hard time choosing which images to share on the blog, because there are just so many awesome images to choose from!
