jen & ethan

when i found out that jen and ethan were coming to town, not only was i soooo excited to see them, i also wanted to squeeze in an impromptu session with them.  photographing these two was easy...look how beautiful they are!  ethan is full of energy and has such an infectious spirit.  jen took my breath away - she is simply beautiful...inside & out.  seriously, she is just glowing.  her sweet soul and passion for her work is inspiring.  i wish we were closer, we miss them but are very thankful that we get to see them at least a few times a year.  i hope we can plan a trip out to MO in '13..love you two!!!!

beautiful maddy!

oh how i love to work with such lovely families!  i've had the pleasure of working with mike and amy during their maternity session before ms. maddy arrived.  this was the first time i got to meet maddy... and what a precious, sweet doll she is.  she was a bit shy at first but i think she liked me once we got going.  :)  i love her expressions and her beautiful eyes.  oh and her amazing baby rolls - THE.BEST!  thanks again for having me over to photograph sweet baby maddy!

the cirocco family!  i had so much fun working with this group - really, such a sweet and fun loving group of people.  sometimes trying to coordinate a larger group can be challenging but that wasn't the case with this family at all!  it was great to see a few old friends and meet some new ones.  it happened to be a super hot weekend but luckily the heat simmered down and we were able to get some beautiful shots, which by the way isn't hard with a group that looks this good!  thanks again cirocco's for allowing me to capture your family pictures!
