The Birthday Party

This past weekend we celebrated Emma's 2nd birthday with an intimate gathering of immediate family and close friends....keeping it small while we can :). Despite an early evening party sans nap, she was in good spirits and really enjoyed her birthday celebration.

Because she is my little lady bug afterall, we kept the theme to hot pink and lime green lady bugs.  The cake was made by one of my amazing clients and her birthday attire was custom made by Absolutely Handmande out of Arizona. 

Thanks for everyone for all the birthday wishes!

Cherish: Abbigail's Newborn Session

Welcome Abbigail Marie!  This beautiful little gem is just 10 days old.  She has the most gorgeous set of silky black hair.  Her big brother Logan just adores her and who can blame him! 

Happy 2nd Birthday lady bug!

2 Years Old

1 Year Old

1 Day Old

She's a soft cool rain on a hot summer’s day.
She's the beat of my heart, and the air that I breathe.
She's the sun and the wind, and autumn’s golden leaves.
She's that warm feeling I get, when I tuck her in at night.
She has this beautiful little smile that could light the darkest night.

She is my beautiful daughter, and I was blessed with her.
She will never know how proud I am of all the things she does.

She came into my world, so tiny and so small
And I was in awe at the wonder of it all.
Then she placed her little hand in mine
There was no denying, my heart was hers 'til the end of time.


So just remember, my sweet daughter, no matter how old you are or where you may be
There's someone who needs you and loves you and that someone is me!

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet Emma!

Love, Mommy, Daddy and Bo-Bo

Cherish: Hayleigh's 3 Month Session

Sweet little Hayleigh is now 3.5 months old. She came in today for her 3 month ...portraits. Isn's she a little doll. She is full of smiles and her eyes light up the room.

Cherish: RJ's 4 Month Session

Little RJ made us work hard for his smiles last night.  I did this adorable little fella's newborn portraits just a couple of months ago...although it just seems like yesterday!  He has changed so much!  He is now four months old and is as cute as ever!  I just love watching babies grow :)

Cherish: Cheek Twins

TWINS. (sigh.) I.adore.them!   Boy/girl twins....even better!  Two squishy adorable little babies all in one session, yes I was in heaven.  The Cheek twins are now 5 weeks old and did I mention they were adorable?!?!?  They made the sweetest little grunting sounds to each other as their very own way of communicating to the other.  I often found them holding hands.  The bond that these two will share for a lifetime will be unbreakable. 

Cherish: Gavin's Newborn Portraits

Sweet little Gavin is 5 weeks old and the little brother to Violet who is 2 year...s old. Gavin is the most active newborn I have ever photographed and I have had a lot of active little boys in the studio :). This kid will be crawling before he is 6 months old!!!
