Baby ‘L’ newborns

Seems like just yesterday when we captured her mommy’s baby bump. Now she’s here to enjoy her amazing nursery and keep mommy & daddy awake all night. I’m actually told she does like to sleep a lot…just not when miss photographer is there :) . Apparently, she doesn’t want to miss any action…

Baby Caliegh Newborns

Been slacking on the blogs this month…eek! Well, here’s a perfect way to kick it off again. Meet Caliegh! She’s just under 2 weeks old and has a wonderful frog-like kicking technique down pat. A few favorites…

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Family of 14 at Rocky River Park

Just had to share some of these great pix with this amazing family. Everyone was fantastic and had a good sense of humor…perfect session! Here are some of my favorites…

Happy New Year!

Time to be Merry!

Last year’s Christmas card got so many comments, I had no idea how to top it and live up to everyone’s expectations. Last minute inspiration finally struck about a week before the big day….and lucky us, we had SNOW! Kimo and I were out playing in the white stuff, when his buddy Murphy came bounding over in his little winter coat. With Murphy at 5 lbs and Kimo at 65 lbs, they are the oddest of friends. Check out the final Christmas card below…success!

Last year’s Christmas card post….

Celebrate Life, Happiness & Holidays!

Some of my favorite Christmas icons…
Santa | always finds something to chuckle about
Frosty | enjoys life while it lasts!
Rudolph | overcomes hard times to be proud of his differences
Clarice | sees through everyone else’s opinion and does the right thing
George Bailey | realizes his big grandiose dreams mean nothing compared to family & friends
Tiny Tim | was dealt a terrible hand, but still toasts, “God bless us, every one!”

Now baby Sammie is going to help us celebrate The Christmas holidays with some adorable pix!

January baby on the way

We had so much fun working with MJ & AJ with their truly personalized baby bump portraits. My favorite part…..MJ on a Harley with that cute little belly. Did I say I like to make each session unique? Most definitely!

Four kids + playground = photography our way!

What an awesome playground this was…Avon Lake Castleland. Well, that’s my name for it cause I forgot to write down the official name. Can anyone help out here? With four kids ranging from 3-9 years old, this is the ONLY way to go…”Let ‘em play” Some of my faves…

Family sessions at Clague duck pond

Late fall in Ohio is chancy because it could be a winter wonderland or a breezy fall day…so far, the mother nature loves us! Although snow is also beautiful for family pictures, I much prefer to feel my hands and not drop the camera out of numbness. For their holiday pix, we took the Sullivans and Kowalewskis for a joint session at Clague Park. The ducks were out in full force. Next time, I’m bringing bribing crumbs for them. :)

Baby Larissa

Any words I type here would not compare to her cuteness…so, on with the sneak peeks.
