The Earle Family welcomed a new bundle of joy to the world this month... Sofia Rose!  I spent a morning with this sweet family and enjoyed every minute.  Big brother Xander, who is going on 3 was your typical toddler...active, defiant and absolutely adorable!  He spent most of the time posing in front of the camera only if sugar was involved and kept his parents on their toes! We started with family pictures, which was a welcome relief for Mommy who is typically taking the pictures of the family as opposed to sitting in front of the camera! We then took pictures of Mommy and Daddy individually with baby and big brother... I didn't know what Xander would possibly let me capture alone and with his baby sister, but boy, this kid is cute without even trying!! "Every superhero needs a sidekick!" Sofia's first photo shoot was almost as perfect as she is!! This was a fun shoot!  I truly enjoyed the experience a...

I was all about fulfilling wishes this past weekend with this sweet girl!  Larkin won a full storybook session after 300 of her Facebook fans voted on her picture taken by yours truly in a Princess Mini Session early September. Oh, I can't wait to begin writing her special story and including images in it to complete her very own happily ever after! I hid a prop nest in the crab apple tree we were shooting under and her Mom thought it was real with real eggs!  I meant to surprise Larkin and surprised her Mom instead. 8 arrows to represent 8 years... this little miss just had a birthday! Her favorite character is Merida from Brave so this had to be done.. complete with wisps! A play on snow white but with a bit more drama, suspense and adventure!  This was fun to imagine and play along with her as she walked through the dark woods!  She loves horses and wishes for a horse of her own someday.  A real was not realis...

I had the great privilege of photographing two of the most beautiful girls I have ever laid eyes on.  What made this special was that the oldest little girl was diagnosed with autism earlier this year.  Her mother was so happy that "finally the world can see her smile!"  What a joy to be able to capture that moment for her and her family!  Baby girl just turned one and just started to walk so capturing that too in the same session is such a special feeling!  Thank you guys for letting me be part of this special moment and sharing your girls with me!

On Saturday, September 3, 2016 I threw a princess party and invited 6 little girls to get made up in gown and tiara and get their portraits taken to ramp up my new photography "Once Upon A Time" service offerings.  Without a doubt, I couldn't ask for more beautiful and fun little models! As part of being involved with these sessions, each little princess is competing to win their very own exclusive full Storybook Session with me!  This session includes: Up to a 2 hour session, on location 40 candid and posed images Up to 5 costume and prop changes (provided) 12x12 hard cover story album with a one of a kind story written just for the winner and illustrated with images from the session! Custom Photo App, Gallery, and MORE!! This service for one child is regular $450 and will all go to the princess that gets the most likes on Facebook beginning September 12th through September 15th! Below are individual images and a bit about each contender for this extraordina...
