These pictures speak for themselves….Hailey is stunningly gorgeous!   I had such a blast with her and her mom.  I will never forget this shoot – for many great and funny reasons.

Thank you God for beautiful days and wonderful clients!  Lauren and her mom were so great to spend the morning with and I am thrilled with the results of this senior shoot. 

Since I’m working hard to stay on target with my timelines, I’m keeping this and my future entries short and sweet.  I have had amazing clients in the past month and I’m not done yet!  This was another incredible senior portrait shoot with a really beautiful and sweet senior. We almost beat the rain – almost.  Despite that, Kimmie’s pictures about blew me away with their amazingness!  Thanks Kimmie and Angie!

And then there was rain…..we had to get this shot despite some sprinkles.  Worth it?  Oh, yeah.

Gorgeous Emily was another of my senior clients for my mini session event.    We made great use of our 45 minute session and she actually got in 4 outfits!  How is that for efficiency? 

This year I had some seniors take advantage of the savings available during my annual mini-session event.  Zach is a really great young man who was happy to have a “short and sweet” photo shoot on Saturday. 

The wonderful Reber family came to Thrive’s Annual Mini-Session event this weekend for some long overdue family portraits.  They are a great family and Hobie and Bridget are terrific real estate agents with Keller-Williams.  You all look marvelous!

I had my first assignment this weekend as a contributing photographer for Pictures of Hope Foundation.  I was accepted as a Pictures of Hope photographer a couple of months ago and it was my pure joy to take pictures of precious baby M this weekend.   Baby M, born at 24 weeks along with his brother, is about to leave the NICU after being there since July.  His brother is at another hospital due to his needs and will need continued care before he joins his family at home.  Please pray for both babies to continue to thrive and grow and for this family. 

Pictures of Hope is a charitable organization of professional photographers who provide complimentary, documentary-style, photography sessions to babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and their families.  The Pictures of Hope Foundation is comprised of photographers from across the United States and Canada who are dedicated to donating their time to a cause they believe in, and sharing the gift of photography with families in need.
