Pretty in Pearls

Waiting for Baby

This beautiful family is awaiting the arrival of baby number two in a few weeks. She was one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have ever seen. Adorable big sister was so good and her spunk reminded me of my daughter.

Pretty Little Princess

This little girl made the prettiest little princess. So sweet. Thank heaven for baby girls.

Sweet Baby Boy

This sweet little one is just nine days old. He was wide awake during the shoot but didn't hardly make a peep. I just love his fuzzy head!

Crewcuts

I am running a little behind on my blog postings so this was a session from back in December. We had a couple days of decent weather so we took advantage. How stylin is this little guy? Looks like a little crewcuts model! Oh, and did I mention happy? The dimples just kill me.

Christmas Smiles

This little sweetie looked ADORABLE in her first Christmas outfit and her smile was the icing on the cake. She was all smiles until her visit with Santa but I don't blame her...funny hat and big beard would scare me too. I hope the family has fond memories of their daughter's first Christmas.

Another beautiful fall day

I had so much fun with this shoot from start to finish. First, the weather was amazing, second the location was beautiful, third the family was so sweet and last but no least, this adorable five month old. He had the sweetest pouty lips and how cute does he look in his little hat?

Dayton Daily News Interview

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to do an interview for a Dayton Daily News article on tips for taking great holiday photos. Here are the results. One misprint states that the image I provided was my daughter, but is actually a client, not my daughter. Anyways, it is a great article with some great tips. I apologize the font is small but the image is as big as I can make it. The photo I submitted is the toddler with the white hat and denim jacket.

Farewell Session

This session is of a dear friend who will be moving back to her home country in a couple of weeks. It was such an honor to photograph them before the big move. They are such an amazingly beautiful and loving family and we will miss them dearly. I know they have fond memories of their time here and I hope these photos will help to keep the memories fresh. I wish them all the best and hope they visit soon.

So much energy...it makes me tired just watching.
