Charles Ross

I'm so glad I was able to photograph this handsome little guy!  He was so chill the whole time!  He didn't stay asleep for all that long, but then he just watched me as I worked.  He didn't fuss until after he had gotten hiccups that wouldn't go away, but by then, we were done anyways!  

This was also my first time trying out a mini session.  I've been considering adding it as a regular session option, but for the time being, it will only be offered for limited time special.  Make sure that you like and follow my Facebook page to find out when these special mini sessions will be available and how you can book one for yourself!

afO's David

I had the privilege of seeing this awesome production by afO of David.  The entire show was written by Sam Ward, who starred in it as David along side a band of mighty men.  The story is taken from the Biblical account of David, a shepherd boy who became the King of Israel.  

I admit I wasn't sure what to expect when I first heard about this.  I have seen shows done by one man that have been really well done, but I knew this was being called a musical not a play, and I didn't understand how a one man musical would work.  Of course that's because I never realized that this show had a live band of 5 crazy talented guys.  Leaving the theater, I was blown away by the talent of all 6 of these men.  They were incredible, and I felt like I was leaving a concert with a dramatized story running throughout the show.  It was amazing!  Each song was a different style, but they were all equally well done.  I think I was able to witness the first of what will become a new type of theater production.  I don't think we will continue to only have two categories of either a play or a musical.  I have no idea what they will call a show like this, but I truly think that this show should be seen across the country and could start a movement.

Evlynn Skye

This photo session with Evlynn was done on a whim, and I am SO glad it worked out!  Isn't she beautiful??!!  Look at all that gorgeous, dark hair!  

She was fairly content the whole time as long as she could get her hands and feet out of the swaddle. She would wiggle until she was free and then fall right asleep.

  I would have to say, she is probably the happiest newborn I have ever photographed.  She smiled SO much, and it made me so happy!

If you are pregnant or just had a baby, I would love to help you capture this special stage of your baby's life that goes by so quickly! My sessions start at $200 which includes a pre-session consultation, up to 3 hours in my studio, unlimited props, outfits, and poses, and at least 20 photographs in a private online gallery with a $50 print credit for purchasing prints and products. :) If that isn't what you are looking for, make sure to check out the other packages that I offer!

Amelia Ann

I had the joys of photographing this adorable future nerd named Amelia!  :)  This precious little girl was over 6 weeks premature and spent a long time in the hospital.  She was even still on a heart monitor during our time together for these pictures.  She was born with lots of hair, and now it basically just sticks straight up which just makes her even cuter!  Her mom is super crafty and crocheted all these fun amigurumi buddies!  If you want to order one (or ten!) for yourself, check out: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyBardGeekGifts!  :)

I was so excited that I was able to incorporate these cute Star Wars felt characters designed by Aimee Ray into this session!  I made them myself from the kit that you can buy at Barnes and Nobles or on Amazon by going to: http://a.co/2d2zJ97!

And of course we used more nerdy amigurumi buddies that you can also get at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyBardGeekGifts.  :)

Such tiny toes!  :)

I am not entirely sure why I am so obsessed with this picture, but I seriously love it!  Maybe it's because Amelia looks like a baby elf.  So cute!!

I LOVE capturing tiny smirks from babies, and Amelia did not disappoint!  Look at that grin!  And seriously, her hair really stands straight up!

Ugh, my heart can barely contain my joy when I photograph little babies!  I really do try to control my excitement, but I was definitely squealing a LOT during this session with Amelia.  I mean, just look again at how cute she is!  :)

Lily Eden

This is my beautiful little niece!  Isn't she so precious??!!  She did a great job during her photo sessions!  She was so easy to work with!  She loved being wrapped up, so that is what we did!  She was pretty wide awake during parts of it, but she didn't get upset.  She just wanted to see what was going on.  :)  I was thrilled to get a little smirk out of her.  :)
