happy birthday e

Little Miss E will be one year old in a couple of days. She is absolutely adorable and she's such a little peanut! She will also tell you ALL about it when she's had enough. :>)



She's so stinkin' cute I can't stand it! Do they make dresses like that in my size??? I love it.

more of 8 days new

So many wonderful images from this session. I had a hard time choosing just one or two. So, here's a whole bunch!

As usual for me, this little guy stayed awake the majority of the time. I must have some weird vibe that keeps newborns awake because almost every mom says, "That's so weird, he/she never stays awake this long." But, I suppose if somebody took me out of my comfy bed and placed me in sunlight I wouldn't feel like sleeping either! :>)

Wide awake and checking things out.


Big sister was sick so she couldn't be in on most of the action.

I call this one "The Look" This look says to me, "Hey lady! Let me go back to sleep will ya'!"


At eight days old this little guy was holding up his head and looking around. It was amazing. So strong.

Ahhh, sleep at last...

8 days new

Short on time right now...more to follow on this adorable little guy.

happy love day

Wishing everyone lots of love today. :)

good friends

We met John and Kris shortly after we moved to Sarasota in 1998. They had just moved here from Georgia, my husband and I from Minnesota. The four of us used to get together with another couple and hang out almost every weekend before we had kids - those were the good ole' days. :>) We went to visit them at their new place on the east coast of Florida a couple of weeks ago. It was just like old times - except we went to bed a lot earlier than we used to. LOL. Good friends just seem to pick up right where they left off - even when visits are years apart.

I couldn't resist getting a few shots of their beautiful little girls while I was there.

What a beautiful little boy. So new and so wrinkly. :>) It's such a privilege to be able to go into someone's home and photograph their newborn. Precious.




Still getting used to the idea of this tiny person who cries and squeaks and has taken up residence in their home. She's going to be a very loving big sister to this little guy.

I am so excited for our good friends Scott and Amy. Not only are they wonderful friends, but they'll be wonderful parents as well. Can't wait until she's here! :>)
