We welcome Miles to our family...

One week ago today, I gave birth to our 3rd baby boy, Miles Patrick.  He was born at 9:41am on September 7th.  He weighed 6 pounds 9.9 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long.  We are both doing great and our boys couldn't love him more!  Thank you to all my clients, friends and family who have sent well wishes and prayers.  Of course, I've taken pictures of him, and plan on LOTS more..but here's his debut:

Charlotte {4 months}

Charlotte is another one of my first year baby planners and I was lucky enough to get to see her before my little one arrived.  Her session in the studio was a sweet one.  I love this girls hair and she has such adorable expressions! 

{Happy Birthday Miss Brady June!}

This little sweetie pie and her parents met me at Lanoha this morning for this important photo shoot while they're in town for the holiday weekend.  It was beautiful out and I loved getting to see them again.  I shot their wedding back in 2005, and her mama's belly pictures as well as Brady's *first* pictures.  I miss seeing them!  Here's a peek from our morning:

I love this one with her sweet face and her puppy TJ

I'm sorry, I had to blog...

I'm calling this one "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

Sara {Class of 2011}

Last night I was able to shoot Sara's senior photos.  She has adorable dimples, is so sweet and luckily the wind died down for us for our outside shoot!  I had so much fun with her, she gave me sassy and was open to a little wardrobe switch-aroo!  Loved the cowboy boots!

Introducing baby Bryson

I was happy to meet Mr Bryson this past week.  He was only 6 days old and was WIDE awake!  After some food and coaxing, he slept like a dream!  It was fun to see his mommy and daddy again, they were a wedding couple of mine a few years ago.  So Fun!  I'm loving these newborn shoots....making me excited to do my own in a few days?!?!  Here's a peek!

{Sloan One Year Old}

Happy Birthday to miss Sloan, another one of my Sweetness Members.  I first "met" her in her mama's belly and now she's a big one-year-old.  I love shooting these little ones as they are on the move and it's always a challenge to pause them long enough to capture a smile, funny face, or a somber face.  Here are a few from her shoot!

and then we had a little cake;

Michelle & Ryan {8.28.10}

This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of photographing Michelle and Ryan's big day with my girl, Sarah Pfeiffer.  She shot with me as I was 38 weeks pregnant and luckily no baby came as we went through the day (still hasn't for that matter).  It was such a fun wedding, the couple and the wedding party were so great to work with!  Here's a little peek from their day (slideshow will be posted soon!)

**First Sight**

Love the expressions at these moments!
