Fortunately this story had a great ending. My long time friend Angela sent me a text message a few weeks ago, that she had been contacted by a national celebrity news magazine, and she needed some shots of her with her dog Snoopy. When she told me the story I was amazed and relieved that it turned up with a good ending. They were also featured on our local news.

What a wild story, but I'm glad she contacted me because now I can say I've been published in a national magazine. And how funny it's with a celebrity news magazine! It's on the stands now so check it out!

When Holly told me that she got engaged a few months ago, I was so surprised and excited for her. We've been friends for a long time now, and have been through a lot together, so I was really happy to hear that she found the right guy to spend her life with.

Fortunately, we'll be attending her wedding as guests, so we'll really get to enjoy this special moment in her life. Thank you for allowing me to take your engagement portraits too!

Sigh! I just love photographing families especially when there are new babies involved. I love capturing the tender moments that a new child brings to a family and the excitement that they bring as well. I don't know how else to describe it, but newborn babies are just so magical. Thank you Anastasia for asking me to capture these precious moments.

I've been photographing Amanda and her family for about three years now and I couldn't be happier to photograph her and her beautiful baby belly. When she told me that it was just going to be the girls for this portrait session, I had an idea to use a pink background. I'm so happy that I took the chance because I love how Amanda and Miss M look in front of the super girly background. Amanda is such a fashionista too so I always look forward to photographing her and her gorgeous family!

Anastasia is the founder of the Mommy's group that I belong to and she's expecting twins any day now! She already has a gorgeous little boy that my little guy loves to play with.

She is a gorgeous Mom and does not look like she's carrying twins! Pretty soon she'll have her hands full with two adorable babies and an active toddler and I can't wait to meet those adorable newborns soon.

Thank you for allowing me to capture such an important moment in your life!

So the Mangin family's little girl showed up happy and healthy and I think big sister was so gentle with her. I couldn't have asked for more cooperative subjects than big sister and her new baby sister. Miss T lasted a whole two hours for portraits and her big sister Miss E was so cooperative for each portrait we asked her to pose in.

Stacey and I met through a Mommies group over a year ago and I started photographing her oldest as well. One of my favorite tutu shots is of her on my well loved teal suitcase, when she was a baby.

Well Stacey and her husband added another little girl to her family so I was fortunate to take some portraits of their new little girl. She is a little over two months old in these portraits and such a sweetie! We had to reschedule the sibling portraits as one of our models just wasn't in the mood. Funny, because my little guy has not been into taking pictures lately either!

Anyway, we finally got some great portraits of the girls together after we figured out that Stacey's oldest girl would sit still for a rendition of Elmo's World. Not totally on key but it worked!
