lucky finley quinn (only shes not irish)

Ahhhh a St. Patricks Day baby. Finley Quinn Rivera (who we lovingly like to call 'Fin') was born to my friend Katy weighing in at a tiny 6lbs 11oz. She seems so small, but my is she sure cute. Here are a few shots from her very first shoot with me, there will be many many more to come since she is the first baby I am doing a yearbook for. We will all be seeing this little peanut often.

meet halle howe

my neighbor Halle Marie Howe was born on 3.6.07 and was ready for our shoot, wide eyed the entire time. She was very cute and striking a pose often. Halle was also patient very with us since we had her in multiple places and locations and she didn't complain once. That patience may come from having an older brother, Owen, breaking her in at an early age. Owen loves to hang out by the fence and tell larry over and over that he is a "dog." We will miss them as our neighbors once they move.

jackson boesen + a mirror = lots of laughter

Jackson was 10 months when we shot these photos, but not crawling. love those eyes and that skin. I have never seen a baby love a mirror quite so much. I was having so much fun and laughing so hard it was hard to focus. He must have had fun as well, turns out he napped the rest of the day. He is the first child to his parents brian and betsy, again, I am excited to watch this family grow.

new blog and new babies....

new blog new babies. My friends are starting to get married and start families and I get the privilege of seeing these little wonders grow from day one. Here are four new additions.
The first up is Jack Andrew Barthman. This little guy looks just like his dad but has his mommas eyelashes. I can't wait to shoot his 6 month photos.

Ok, so i'm offically starting my blog today. I must admit I'm rather excited to start this and share work, fun and stories to anyone who stumbles on this. I am hoping to post something after each one of my shoots as well as small pieces of my life so here we go.......
This is my sweet puppy larry. I am sure he will show up many times so I thought it was only fitting for him to take the crown of first post,
