Baby Campbell
So I had the pleasure of photographing my friends first baby this past weekend. Until just recently, I haven't had the opportunity to photograph newborns. But, I just love little babies, and I love the challenge of capturing the beginning of a life. I look forward to being in Campbell's life as he grows. Here are a few of my favorites of this sweet baby boy.

Birthday Girls
My girls are almost exactly two years apart, their birthdays are only 5 days apart in July. This does make life easier when it comes to celebrating, and so far, they don't mind sharing a party. About six months ago I bought these really adorable tutus from www.threelittleprincesses.com so that I could photograph them for their two and four year photos. I was going to wait to post these, but I can not contain myself. I had to share their cuteness.
Baby Evan
Baby Evan is my newest nephew, and he is a true blessing to our family. This little guy did so great for pictures, and he put up with a lot as we tried to pose and mush him into small baskets. You can see in the beginning, he was not going to mold into this basket, but after eating a bottle and falling into a deep sleep, he eventually folded to his fate. I just love how babies can stay asleep, and how adorable they are all mushed into a ball.
Here are a few of my favorites from the afternoon.

And The Winner Is...
Back in April, I posted a contest for a free photo shoot. My readers had to send me a letter telling me why they or someone they know deserves a free photo shoot. Several of you sent me your letters, and I must say, did not make it very easy for me. Each letter was heart felt and special to read. However, there can only be one winner, and that person is Chelsea McConnell. I hope she doesn't mind me re posting portions of her letter, but it was too nice to keep to myself.
Hey Elizabeth!
After getting the invite for this free photo session, I sat here and tried to think of someone I knew that should have the chance to have some of your beautiful photos, and it didn't take long to realize that those two people were right in front of my face. My mom and dad will be celebrating 27 years of marriage on the 7th of March. My dad is currently in Washington D.C. for six months, working for the Coast Guard. He lost his civilian job over a year ago and has been working on and off for the military in different places ever since... I can see it has been hard on both of them. Like I said, my dad is now in D.C. for 6 months. He came back to visit us this past weekend, and it was hard on all of us to see him leave. Recently, my dad switched from being a reservist in the Coast Guard to being active duty, and is now part of a unit that is going to start training in August. He will be stationed down there until his unit ships out in December. This is just a few months after he comes back from D.C. for good.
I think it would be great for my parents to have pictures made for their anniversary, but the most important reason is because Dad will be leaving for about a year to be in the Middle East at the end of this year, and having pictures with his wife and kids would be great for him. The last family portrait we had taken... was not that great.
I just think this would a great present to give to Dad before he leaves for his tour of duty, and it would be a great reminder for Mom that she has a loving man who is going away in order to provide for his family.
Thank you,
Chelsea

Yesterday was the date of our shoot, and it couldn't have fallen on a better weekend. The square was full of American flags; a great background for a military family. Here are few of my favorites from the afternoon.

6 Month Old Patrick
This is my second time photographing little Patrick, and he is too cute for words. As you can see, he has the biggest blue eyes, and the most adorable smile. The last time I saw him, he was small and immobile. This time, he has learned to crawl. I am enjoying this small movement now, because I know in three months, I might possibly be chasing this little guy to get a photo. Here are few of my favorites from the day.
