I love finding new places in my city for photo shoots.
Elizabeth had some GREAT places in mind.
We went to San Pedro Springs Park (which is the 2nd oldest park in the nation)
and although it was a bally 35 degrees outside, Elizabeth was trooper.
We also went to the Central Library which is a HUGE library with 5 floors and it’s downtown.
I had so much fun working with you Elizabeth.
I had to get to these photos right away because they are all so beautiful.
I’ll have your proofing gallery up very soon,
but for now, enjoy a few sneak peaks!
I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Thanks for allowing me to capture this awesome time in your life!

I wanted to do something.
Rather than just sit at my computer and read the news about Haiti.
I wanted to do my part to help out.
But my part includes you.
For any photo session that is booked from now until Friday, February 4th at noon (CST)
I will donate 50% of the session fee to LCMS World Relief and Human Care.
Your session does not have to take place this week,
you just need to get it on the calendar and pay your session fee.


If you’d like to do even more check out my family blog for info on other ways you can help.
This promotion does not include wedding photography.

I knew this photo would be perfect for the challenge over at I heart faces!
I took this photo at the end of my newborn session with Grant.
He was SOOO over the photo shoot and just ready to really sleep without all the noise of my shutter.
He seemed so content to be in grandma’s arm so I snapped a few of the two of them.
Then mom joined the party and it was an even better shot.
Three generations of family love!
They ARE family! And it shows!

After 36 hours of labor and finally a c-section this cute little man was brought into the world.
I know his parents couldn’t be happier or more tired.
What an incredible blessing this little guy is to this family.
He is loved beyond imagination.
Thanks Steve and Angela for letting me invade your space this morning.
Even though Grant didn’t like being cold I think we got some great photographs.
I hope that you will treasure these photographs,
and one day when Grant is over 6 feet tall like Steve you can show him where he started!
I’ve only edited a few and have a TON more to go through,
but I wanted to post a few sneak peaks for you right away…
ENJOY!!!
