Sharing a few shots/collages of a recent mini shoot of a special little guy learning to crawl!

Some new babe sweetness with a very special family (a present for daddy)!

The kids were telling each other knock-knock jokes and it was a hoot capturing their different expressions.

Made a few collages for them as well.

I love grouping similar images from a photo shoot into storyboards to highlight relationships, love, personalities, or sequence of events. Here are some faves from a recent client with a cherub personality.

All were created using our new 12×24 StoryBoard Papers. Perfect for 10×20 as well!

Sometimes, words are not enough to describe the joy I feel capturing the innocence of babes. It’s my hope these images can share a bit into the precious souls of these two little ones. Thank you, Kim and Adam, for letting me spend time with your angels.

Oh, how I love little girls in tutus…and with butterfly wings even more!

Two little girls wearing the same tutu 13 years apart…our oldest, Alyssa, back in 1996 for her first dance recital…and a dear little person last week for a costume. I’m embracing these precious memories this week.

Had some fun adding texture and a few embellishments to both images.

Scanning tip…I scanned Alyssa’s 1996 4×6 film image at 600 dpi so I could create an 8×8 piece at 300 dpi. I cropped in a square format as shown.

Happy weekend!

Could little Sara Beth be any cuter?!!! I don’t think so.
