Welcome Angel Baby

Last week I had the sheer joy and privelage of photographing a 10 day old infant boy. He was just the cutest little thing. This is the image the parents selected for his birth announcement. How cute!

Heirloom Portraits

For those of you who are not familiar with my background....I was a black and white film only girl...until several years ago. That is when I added digital capture to my skill set. I must say, I was smitten. It is not only the immediate gratification of the image capture, but the endless image enhancements available in photoshop. Here is an image I took several years ago now. I love the expression on this child's face. Through some minor enhancement, the total feeling of the image changed. I thought the original image was beautiful...but with the enhancement (done by a master printer and photoshop guru (no, not me!), the image is so much more powerful. I consider this image an Heirloom portrait. It has a more formal feel, and a vintage look. This image in a beautiful ornate frame will make a lasting keepsake, for generations to come.

Hello Ms. Fancy-pants!!

Tonight I was looking through some images and came across this one. It instantly made me smile. There is nothing more heart-warming than a confident little baby who has just learned to walk.....at 8 months! She was so proud of herself. There she was prancing around in her hand-made fancy pants...happy as could be. You go girl!!

Elegant Beauty

I think this image perfectly captures the love and affection this mother has for her baby, and how she feels about herself carrying this tiny life inside.  Her expression is so powerful.  She is so radiant and incredibly beautiful.
