...so thankful

that carol gave me the opportunity to develop my passion. she hired me to work at the portrait studio when i was 16, and admitted that i was her youngest hire. now, ten years later, i hope i have made her proud! we had an awesome time with her daughter (and yes they look like sisters) and their two furbabies. carol has taught me so much beyond the walls of the studio. i love you ladies!

...there is only a rainbow after rain.

...say it isn't so...

it seems like just yesterday, i met miss lilly for the first time. she was 3 months old and just the most content baby i have ever seen. (really, she puts herself to sleep, no kidding!) and now, 3 months later, she still has got to be one of the easiest babies ever. she's your go with the flow type of gal.she is so expressive for her 'lil age. i'm also happy that she shared some smiles with me, i was almost standing on my head, (not really, but i'm sure all of the people passing by got a good chuckle. check out the last one, i think i may have embarrassed her!) here's a few from her session. i just love this lil gal! and she had the cutest hat that said, "i hunt for hugs". ahhh so adorable!

                                                                                             

falling in love....

with these amazing colors and senior sessions! and feeling loved by booking my latest sessions through word of mouth referrals. that's pretty sweet. speaking of sweet, shirley is another of my senior sessions, and she is just delightful! aside from that fact that she is just darling, her name is shirley...and have a soft spot for "vintage" names! we spent a blustery day on the beach and in a historic part of town. she was such a trooper, and didn't mind getting her feet wet, or sandy. thanks ladies for a fun day! enjoy!
