Welcome Aubrey Layne!

     I had the pleasure of photographing Matt and Jessie's engagement photos and then, their wedding on a sultry summer day.
     And now, I had the honor of photographing the newest love of their lives, Aubrey Layne. I have to say, as new parents, who just moved into a new home, they looked fantastic, not frazzled! And the house was fully arranged and decorated! They couldn't have been more patient as we moved through some "costume changes" and a feeding and went through many baby wipes during their session.  Aubrey was a good sleeper and a good sport about it all.
     For their idea to show Aubrey's growth, they had a beautiful great basket, topped with a blanket from Jessie's grandmother, which made it extra special. Can't wait to see Aubrey standing up in it by year's end.
Thank you Jessie and Matt for inviting me to photograph this chapter in your life story!

There is nothing more fleeting than a smile during sleep and nothing more precious.

Love, love, this "blossoming" baby

So tiny in Matt's arms now, but I predict one tall girl!

A beautiful family

I just love black and white for baby photos, you focus on the faces and the tiniest smile on Aubrey.

Kaya

I'm so fortunate to be able to photograph Kaya and her sister Aubrey every year for their birthday. Last year's session with Kaya was so amazing I didn't think we could get photos as good this year. But she did it! She picked out her own outfit which was very fashionable and spring like but it was windy and cold and she smiled anyway! An ice cream at Nutter's was the payoff for great photo session. Thanks Kaya for being such a trooper! And thank you Aubrey for being a good tag-a-long.

How many times have you had to crop yourself out of a photo to come up with a head shot of yourself for use online? Wouldn't it be nice to have a well-lit, color corrected, sharply focused image taken by a professional photographer to use?
