Meet Little Miss "N"

This little one was sooooo FULL of personality - we had such a great time together. We had smiles and sunshine the whole time! Here is a sneak peek for mom and dad. It was wonderful to meet you and I enjoyed every moment of our session! Click to enlarge the images. :)

Welcome to the world, Jordan

This little guy was as precious as he could be - so sweet and peaceful. He had such beautiful skin and hair!! Here are a few sneak peeks from our session yesterday. Just click to enlarge the photos. :)

Betty's 80th Birthday Party!

We had a birthday party at our church for a very dear lady who turned 80. The guest list included people of all ages. I spent a lot of time with the little people playing in the nursery. A great time was had by all! ;)

More Recent Favorites!

I usually only share a couple of images per session for sneak peeks, but I thought I would take a second today to share a few more from some recent shoots. Watch out, the post is loaded with images! :)

Jeff + Jeff = 2 Jeffs!

I told my brother Jeff, who my son is named after, that he was NEXT to be featured on the blog. ;) Jeffrey absolutely, totally and completely ADORES his uncles, and it has been a goal of mine to get some cute photos of little Jeff with my brothers, Joel, and Jeff. Joel and Jeff were featured a few posts back. (My brothers are also named for their uncles, and if we're lucky, maybe someday little Jeff will have a little brother named Joel! ;)) So without further ado, here are the photos of Jeff and Jeff. :)

6 things you may not know about me ….
1. I was born in Sioux Falls, SD, was raised in Tomah, WI, moved to Iowa Falls, IA for a quick spell, and now LOVE living in Martinez, CA.

2. I am so lucky to have traveled to Austria, Italy, The Czech Republic, and Germany. I would love to go back someday, and take my family with me. I also want to go to Ireland, England, and France.

4. Before I got married, and became a mom and photographer, my passion was music. I am a professionally trained vocalist who once had great aspirations of becoming an opera star. Once I met my husband, all I wanted to do was get married and be a mom...and I do love my life and the creative outlet that photography provides. I have no regrets! :)

5. Speaking of my husband, I bought him. For $75 at a bachelor auction. (A fundraiser at college for spring missions projects.) And ONLY because my friend MADE me. We went out on our first (BLIND) date and it was love at first sight. We just KNEW. 3 months to the day later, we were engaged, and 6 years later we are living happily ever after ;).

6. One of my fave munchy snacks is cheerios with butter and salt, just like you would do with popcorn. Melt a little butter, pour it over the cheerios, add a sprinkle of salt, and throw in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and crunch away! This is especially wonderful with m&m's mixed in.

Well there you go! Now you know a little more about me. ;)
