Baby Johanna

Meet Baby Johanna.... but you may have seen her before! This little cutie was in here a few days ago for another appointment and she is getting oh so big! Time goes so fast! If only they could stay this little!

Trash the Dress

Here is a pre-view of our recent Trash the Dress session... it was awesome.... more to come!

Kristen & Jude.... and baby Peyton

On July 2nd, Kristen and her husband Jude came up to have their maternity session photographed. It was a beautiful and emotional event, one of which I thouroughly enjoyed being a part of. I love maternity images, and really enjoy working with couples. Kristen was awesome too... it's great when someone tells you to do what you want as an artist. I love to create, and it's amazing when people give me the opportunity to do just that. Maternity images mark the end of new, exciting and emotional journey that brings a little maricle into your arms and then the world is never the same....... Nothing can prepare you for that. AND... if you didn't believe in love at first sight before.... you will be sure to believe in it then!
.... and just the next morning after this session.... 2 weeks early.... Kristen went into labor....and here comes Peyton! What a blessing! Perfect tiny fingers, amazing little toes, a cute and tiny button nose.... just perfect. Peyton was born on the fourth of July. Very cool.
To Kristen, Jude and Peyton, May God bless the three of you!
With all the love from my family to yours.....

I had tears welling up when I took this image. Kristen, you and Peyton are beautiful together. Cherish every moment with her!!!

Ava

Meet Ava. This 2 year old little beauty made a stop at Studio M to visit us not long ago, bringing everthing about being two with her. What an awesome age.... something about this age intrigues me... you have to work really hard with them to get their undivided attention but it is SO WORTH it in the end.... take a look! Thanks Melissa for bringing up Ava, I really enjoyed her! Looking forward to seeing you!

Brian

Meet Brian... Brian is a 2009 PTHS high school senior that has many talents. Not only does he create some awesome artwork but Brian is also a skater. I love shooting seniors because they always bring new fun and fresh ideas to the table. When I saw his skateboard, I KNEW I was in for a treat. My favorite part was catching him is action ... but the entire session rocked. Thanks Brian.... looking forward to seeing you again.

Happy 4th!

Things have been so busy at the studio that finding the time to blog is tough at times... I wish we could blog every senior, wedding, baby and such that walk through the door.... I love to share.... and definately try to do as much as I can! Things at the studio this week were crazy and totally fun.... it's awesome to meet new people all the time and have a good time doing what I love and do best. My kids however were getting a little tiered of my crazy schedule and long hours.... so since I had a wedding celebration to photograph in Altoona, PA... we left a few days early to visit with close friends and family taht live in this area. We spent the day yesterday with our family and had an awesome time. Then at night we went out to see fireworks... lots of fun. Got some cool images too... My niece Bailie was posing for me too.... so here she is, wet hair and all ... right out of the pool...
