This little girl was accompanied by her sweet mother and grandmother. Isn’t Baby V adorable in her pink sweater and summery dress? This day, V was somewhat serious, but we managed to coax out several wonderful smiles as well. I love being able to get both serious, soulful images and fun, lighthearted portraits in each session.
This session is from a few months ago. I’m a little late to blog about it, but it was a lovely session on a lovely warm day. I’ve been longing for some warm beach weather, so I thought I’d put up some images today. This family is just the sweetest. Mom is very laid back, friendly and sweet. And if you can believe it, she was actually pregnant when we took these photos. Tell me these sisters are not just the cutest!
These are actually some of the spreads from the album she ordered.

It was such a pretty day when we photographed this little newborn, so we were able to do some shots inside and some outside. The family was so appreciative and accommodating in their home–truly a sweet family. I was so excited to show them the images that we got. Also, her sister was such a good sport through the entire session. We even got some shots of her alone, enjoying a flower.

I’ve been meaning to do some large posts with samples of the many Janie & Jack clothing store mini sessions I did, but I haven’t put those posts together yet. I decided, though, just to do a few at a time in the mean time. So here are some images of an adorable baby girl. Seriously, LOOK at those cheeks! In the second one, she even posed as a ballerina for me.
heather: oh she is adorable! love the cheeks!
Desiree Hayes: Such a cutie! So pretty!
I feel like I’ve been ignoring this blog, but it’s not for lack of things to write about. Lots has been happening, and I’m looking forward to blogging about these things. One thing that’s been keeping me quite busy is three straight days of shooting from morning until night at a Janie & Jack kids clothing store. I photographed oodles of adorable children, and I’m looking forward to sharing some images from those sessions soon. Check back soon!
From the moment we cradle our children in our arms for the first time, we take photographs of them. When they are first born, their itsy bitsy noses, tiny toes, and curled lips fascinate us. It’s almost instinctual to try to preserve the moments of their childhood through pictures. In what seems like a blink of an eye, these little newborns become chubby babies, then running toddlers, and then go off to school. Those photographs become some of the most treasured items that your children will take with them throughout their lives, creating a value to them that is priceless. The snapshots that your family take will be so important for preserving your legacy and your memories. And then there are the images of your family that you DREAM of, that you may not be able to get on your own. What are those? That is what I am driven to capture for you! It brings me immense joy to be able to take the professional talent and skills I’ve been honing for many years, and apply them to helping families preserve these special moments in ways that they often have trouble doing themselves.
Thank you for reading this. It feels so good to have put that all down on paper, as it feels VERY authentic to me.

Continuing my blogging on your family holiday photo shoots. This is another special family to me. Little Ms. O has so much personality as you can see here. Her brother was a little more coy the day of our photo shoot, but we still got some fun pictures of him as well.
Julie: What a cute family! I am partial to freckles myself (having always wanted some!). Great images!
These are from just before the holidays. Since the holidays were quite busy, I figured now would be a nice time to blog about a few of the families from our school fundraiser holiday mini sessions. More to come in the next few weeks.
I just love this family. I got to photograph baby E alone when she was just a few days old. That was over 9 months ago. My how she’s grown!
Desiree Hayes: What a cute family!! Beautiful images, Susan!
Look at this cute little boy with blue eyes. Mom was right on when she picked out the shirt based on his eyes.
