Family Experience: oh the back yard!

What another delightful time we had with this fun filled family. The back yard, oh, the back yard, was a dream with beautiful light, moss on boulders, and pretty trees, we could have stayed and played all day! Thank you for the fun and keeping us well entertained, you brought us many smiles!

Family Experience: love, joy, laughter

Remember this lovely wedding couple?

Well meet the newest member of this family!:

What a happy and contented baby this little one is. We had so much fun together and you should see his smiles when daddy sings Rudolph the red nose reindeer. Thank you for a lovely time, a lovely day, and fun in the leaves. You are all a joy to be around for many reasons!

Engagement Experience: beautifully quiet

We had the most delightful time meeting up with Gena and Dennis for their engagement session. They have the most beautiful quietness about them, that is so easy to get caught up in their presence. It was lovely to watch their interaction and gentleness with one another and you can just feel what they mean to one another. Thank you for the gift of you, we cannot wait until your August wedding!

Family Experience: love this time of year

Wow! It has been a busy fall with portraits and we are loving it, although all the rain we had in October made it a little tricky with scheduling! I was able to meet up with this lovely family with only one rain out, and although it was pretty cloudy, we still found some beautiful color in the trees. Thank you for your smiling faces and for your coordinated outfits - I just loved them, especially the pop or red color - nicely done mom!

Twin Experience: I could just eat them up!

One of our lovely wedding couples from 2007 just had twins! What a pleasure to come and see them when they were only 10 days old. Weighing in at 4lbs 13 oz and 6lbs 6 oz these two are doing just fabulous and I can't believe how calm and relaxed (although tired) mommy and daddy are. It was an absolute pleasure spending time with this new little family and to hold these little peanuts. Ahh, life is wonderful! I need to come back soon for some more baby lovin'!

Announcement: Announced!

We are so excited to make our official announcement about our brand new... Image Garden! Our journey began over a year ago when we started discussing creating a space for our portrait work. As with all journeys, we had our ups and down, changes of opinions and direction and almost coming to a complete stand still and then out of the blue, I walked into Michael Petrie's Handmade Gardens looking for a few plants for the front or our home. I immediately fell in love with his style and artistic flare that was showcased in his shop. Within a couple weeks he was starting our very own garden project. He took the blank canvas of our back yard and has created a work of art for us. We shared with him our goals for the space and asked him to do his thing. Well that thing he does is completely wonderful and has more than exceeded our expectations. What we love about it is the variety we have for creating beautiful images and also a lovely oasis for our family. Not only did Michael create a space for our business, but for our family and our incredibly imaginative girls.

Here are a few images I want to share with you and I hope to post some more of the fun we are having with it over the next month or two. We are so excited for the spring and what blooms are going to surprise us at that time of year.

Here is the link to Handmade Gardens as well. Michael, we can't even begin to thank you for your creative spirit and the beauty you have brought to our back yard. Thank you!

Stay tuned in the months to come for a springtime portrait special in our new image garden.

expectations experience: love that love

I did my first couples maternity session this fall and absolutely LOVED it and can't wait for the next opportunity! It was such a joy to be in the same space as these expecting parents as they shared their excitement over the soon arrival of the newest member of their family. One very special moment was when they were sharing with one another what they are looking forward to and Vince's response was he was looking forward to tea parties or playing football (since they don't know what they are having). Ahh, so sweet. You both are going to be loving and fun parents. I hope our paths cross again.

Phillies hat and elmo, does life get much better than this?!

1 year old experience: where does the time go?

Remember this sweet little one? Well, guess who is 1 year old already! I can't believe how quickly the time goes. We had a delightful time exploring the world together. Thank you for coming to play, it was lovely! And keep up the good work growing. And thank your mommy for the fabulous and colorful outfit she chose for you, I LOVED it!
