As I was wrapping up a family photo session tonight, I decided to try a lighting technique I had read about online. I’m pretty happy with the result.

Sometimes the best pictures are between the shots.

Remember the maternity portrait session? I captured these pictures an hour after the baby’s birth on Sunday, March 1.
The next day, I got a few more pictures of Mother and Baby.
More Beauty

Recently I posted a portrait of a young mother quietly waiting for the birth of her second daughter. Here are more images from that shoot. 
This family was fun to photograph because their love is strong and because they enjoy life. I know that this little baby will add to their joy.
A Valentine’s Vow

Cyndie and Rod went to high school together, and as so often happens in life, they went into different directions, building careers and raising families. A high school reunion brought the now single man and woman together, and they began a several year long-distance relationship. Cyndie happily said yes when Rod got down on one knee to propose last year.
I was blessed to have the opportunity to photograph their joyous wedding on Valentine’s Day. Their love for each other radiated out to their family and guests as they exchanged rings and promised to love for life.
I wish them the very best as they begin their new life together. Thank you, Cyndie and Rod, for sharing your very special moments with me.

I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful young mother of an active one-year-old daughter who is due in less than two weeks.

My favorite shots are those I capture when they don’t know they’re being photographed. I caught this as I was setting up for the bridal party’s outdoor portrait during a recent wedding shoot. Pure joy! That’s what I see here.

Meghan asked me to recreate the image of her first maternity portrait with her 20-month son included. We had envisioned Colin interacting lovingly with the anticipated babe inside momma. Toddler Colin would have none of that. Attempts to bring him toward mom failed until she lured him with chips.

Jaime is a labor and delivery nurse by profession, 
but her heart belongs to her two-year son and her husband. Her orderly home is a haven of love and life, with family pictures, toys, and evidence of her artistic nature adorning the walls, shelves, and tables. I was blessed to spend a few hours with her and her family.
I praise you because ….

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
