Sneak Peek for Christmas

Merry Christmas! I want Santa to bring me one of these!!!

And Baby Makes Three

This was a really fun photo shoot! Ginny works at the office that I retired from twelve years ago.
Well, Ginny's all grown up now and has a family!

Meet Will. He was nine weeks old when we shot these pictures.

And Will is definitely his daddy's boy :).

Daddy's hands.



Ginny and Paul are crazy about this little guy!


What a sweetie! This is one of my favorite shots from the day.
That one and this one.

Love His Face!

Nine weeks old. Is he not precious!

Layla at Six Days

Meet Layla Grace. Isn't she wonderful?

She is six days old here. I met her mom Bri at a wedding Kali and I shot last year.

Layla was so tiny and precious. Such a sweet little angel.

Of course, as it happens with so many babies, Layla got done with our photo shoot . . .

. . . before we did. Hahaha! Seriously, this is one sweet, beautiful little angel and her mommy and daddy are blessed to have her.

Meet Jordan - Our New Granddaughter

Meet Jordan Nicole. She's our new granddaughter. Jordan was curious about what we were doing.

Isn't she beautiful!

This is her mama, Nicole . . .

. . . her daddy, Dale, and . . .

her big brother, Wyatt.

Jordan is well loved!



Tiny little hands.

Tiny little feet, kept safe in daddy's hands.

All this modeling is tiring work!


This lovely christening gown was handmade by great-grandmother Bea.
Beautiful detail, lovingly made for a special day for this special little girl.

You can never kiss them enough. Babies are a gift straight from God. Lovingly placed into the hands of the parents.
To love, to cherish, to nurture, to safeguard, to point to God. Be thankful every day that God has entrusted
His children into our care. We love you, Jordan!

Week #8, i ♥ faces "Hands-On-Fun"

The i ♥ faces' challenge this week is hands-on-fun. I love baby hands, especially when they are paired with the mom's hand! I edited this one to be hazy-looking to give a feeling of dreaminess. The mom loved how it turned out! and hopefully so will the judges this week - lol! To check out all the other hand shots, head on over to i ♥ faces!

Sweet Dreams Photo Challenge at i ♥ faces

What could possibly be any sweeter than this? The challenge this week at i ♥ faces is Sweet Dreams. This is the same little fellow I featured last week in the tooshie category :). We placed Jayden on top of the blankets and his little 4 pound body just cuddled right in and he got the sweetest smile on his face. Sound asleep, he never even stirred. He was totally comfortable as you can see by his one leg propped over the side of the basket. So sweetly dreaming. I wonder what about? What would bring that little smile to his precious face?

To check out a whole bunch more sweet dreams shots, head on over to www.iheartfaces.com and check them out. Better yet, put in an entry of your own!

We ♥ Tooshies Challenge :)

The challenge this week at I ♥ Faces is 'tooshies!' We usually focus on faces, but this week Angie and Amy decided to switch it up - lol! I immediately thought of this shot I took of Jayden. Jayden was born early. He weighed 4 pounds, 10 ounces. He was 12 days old when I took this picture. He was, without a doubt, the smallest healthy baby I had ever seen. I love the way both his dad and mom are cradling him, to keep him safe. Pretty much the way God wraps me up in His hands and keeps me safe. What blessings we have all been given. Even the blessing of tiny little tooshies! :O)

To check out other tooshie shots, head on over to I ♥ Faces. Even better ... join the fun!

Jaslynn, What a Sweetheart!

A lot of babies have come into our lives recently. And they keep getting cuter and sweeter! Doesn't this mom look as happy as can be with her precious four month old daughter?


Jaslynn is already trying to sit up, so laying down in my basket was not her favorite thing to do that day - lol!

OK, everyone. For those of you who admired my burgundy streaks, this beautiful lady is my hairdresser, the one responsible! I wish I was brave enough to get pink streaks like she has, she looks great with pink streaks!


I have to stop here and point out the big lipstick kiss on the side of her face! You can definitely tell Jaslynn is loved - lol!

She was interested in the flowers. Isn't she adorable?

Mom and daughter both wore purple :).

Jaslynn let us lay her down on her back for a minute, so I shot a whole bunch of pictures because we knew it wouldn't last long - lol!

(And, Jaslynn wasn't really asleep. She was just pretending :O).)




We did this photo shoot two days before Halloween. Jaslynn's mom was so excited to find this little ladybug outfit. Jaslynn, on the other hand, was not excited about wearing the fleece outfit in the 84 degrees temperature - lol! Can't say as I blame her. Again, we shot fast!

Just another shot of mom's hair :).

Isn't she beautiful? And, I leave you with this thought . . . . . . . .
