Annie is about 8 months old now, and she has the most beautiful eyes! She also has a bit of a drool problem, as you can see - hopefully she will be getting some teeth soon and will be even cuter the next time I see her!

Communion time again!

Yes, it's that time of year again. There are over 100 kids this year getting ready to make their first communion and confirmation from St. Clare's. This year, I'll get a chance to experience it both as a photographer and a parent - Adam and Marie will be participating this year! That's Marie in her dress, standing outside the fountain at Prince of Peace.

The handsome young man isn't mine, his name is Steven and he belongs to another St. Clare's family. He was so polite and easy to work with; I look forward to seeing him again next month for "the real deal."

Niyema - almost a year old

Niyema is almost one year old - but not quite! She's so proud of her four little teeth, and maybe she'll even have more by the time she has her birthday cake. We'll have so much fun at our next session, destroying a cake and making a mess.

Happy birthday, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth just turned 3 years old, and I've been taking her picture since she was only 3 months old. What a difference between then and now! She started out a little shy, but soon got over it and we had a lot of fun dressing her up in different birthday outfits.

A sweet little flower

This sweet little girl is three weeks old. Her name is Meadow - a perfect name for such a beautiful little flower! She was a pretty good sport about being moved around and dressed and undressed, but she was happiest in mom or dad's arms.

A beautiful day at the farm...

This family was so much fun, and the location was beautiful. We met at The Farm at South Mountain for a session in the beautiful time right before sunset. Lots of trees, flowers and just a gorgeous place for a photo session! I also made a new friend who is 4 years old and full of energy - he seemed to enjoy climbing in the trees and flying like Superman, and I hope he enjoyed his after-session ice cream because he sure earned it!

Precious Payton

Welcome little Payton! What a beautiful little girl she is. She was so good, not fussy at all - and she loved playing with all of the textures on the blankets and towels. She also has the softest, most beautiful hair I've ever seen on a newborn.

Ashely - class of 2008

Ashely is graduating next month and has big plans for her future - plans involving a school whose name I won't mention, since they were MY college rivals! Congratulations, Ashely, enjoy your last few weeks of high school!
