just in time for christmas

here is a couple who are SO in love with their baby - it was evident from the first moment we were together.  they had only been home from the hospital for a couple of days, but they already seemed to just "fit".  on top of that, grandma was in town, so little brooke was getting all the attention a girl could ask for.

baby, it's cold outside

i met the thompson family at the park in the BITTER cold for a family picture update.  according to grandpa, it had been 5 years since he'd seen a family picture, so we had to remedy that.  thankfully, the kids were full of energy and managed to keep themselves warm by running...and climbing...and stick hunting...you get the point.

happy 7th birthday, robbie!

freddy's family

i love this woman.  she always has an amazing attitude and is so fun to be around.  not to mention she's drop dead gorgeous.  we also share a new kind of kinship as we delivered  our babies a day apart and got to be a few doors down from each other in the hospital.  so as you can imagine, i jumped at the chance to snap some pictures of her, her mom & sister visiting from st. louis and her two beautiful boys.

childhood friends

it was an honor to photograph my friend sonja and her husband mark - i've known sonja since i was in elementary school and here we are at 30 having babies together!  they live right by the river and with the leaves starting to change, it was the perfect location to capture this lovely "expectant" lady.
