Holly

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing
my niece, Holly. There is no one I enjoy
photographing more. She is beautiful and
fun and filled with boundless energy that
is absolutely contagious. I adore her.
And when I left, my heart was full and my
face hurt from smiling. Thanks, Holly, for
what turned out to be a perfect afternoon.

Lexie & Ryan

Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day,
so I was thrilled when it worked out that
I could photograph Lexie's maternity photos.

We took advantage of the amazing weather
and had fun, talking, walking around downtown
and enjoying a sneak peek of spring.

Lexie & Ryan were all smiles, excited about
the precious little baby they are expecting
next month. And I will be one of many
lining up to meet her!

Joe

I had the pleasure of spending Sunday
afternoon with Joseph and his amazing daughter,
Mary. I was there to take photos of Joe, but
it felt much more like catching up with an old
friend. We listened to Louis Prima and he told
me stories about his job, his children, and his
life. And even though he wasn't always able to
form the words he wanted with his lips, his hands
were like poems sketching memories in the air.
It was a beautiful afternoon I won't soon forget.

Neal

Neal's senior portrait session was
our last photo session of 2008.
He was quiet and cool and although
his smiles didn't come easily, they were
definitely worth the wait when they did.
