Alyssa was a lot of fun to photograph for her high school senior pictures.  She has such a  sweet and calm nature; that made it so easy to work with her!

Miss P and her sisters are stunning.  I mean, they have the kind of faces I keep wanting to see.  Their eyes are amazing and I can’t stop looking at them.  They all dress adorable and they all have the cutest names!  We really need to get outside for an urban session soon!

This is the chick’s little owner.  He’s so proud of these little chickies.  They all have cool names like Mustang, Ford and Pickup truck.  lol.  J had some awesome belly laughs going on while the chicks were hopping all over him.  It was so cute!

They look better in person…I’m not having great luck with WordPress at the moment….I’ll figure it out when I get some time!

My mom called me a few weeks ago to tell me her friend’s niece has cancer.  Jazmine.  Jazmine is just 5 years old.  Wow.  It isn’t fair a 5 year old has to fight for her life.  I invited Jazmine to come in for a modeling session…it was all about her and she loved it.  You really wouldn’t know she is sick by the way she acted.  J had me laughing quite a bit with her feisty attitude! I let her choose her outfits and we played Hannah Montana while she did her “thing.”  When we were done she pulled out a lollipop and told me she brought it just for me.  I told her I wanted her to have the sucker, but she insisted.  I really had to fight back the tears at her generosity.  J was also generous with her hugs – what a gift!  Honestly, I fell right in love with this beautiful little girl and I can’t wait to see her again.

I asked her aunt to write something about her and this is what she had to say:

My name is Jazmine and I am five years old.  I had been fighting cancer since I was four.  I fought and it came back.  So, here I go again.  I am a very strong little girl who can put up a fight.  I can brighten any room I walk into because I shine with life and hope.  You would not even know I had cancer if it was not for my bald head.  My Aunty Cory loves me with no hair; she says that I am the most beautiful little girl she has ever seen with no hair.  I could not ask for a more loving family than the one I have.  I live everyday with a positive attitude because that is the only way I can keep fighting.  I’ve seen friends come and I have seen friends go, even at my age, but now they are angels watching over me because I have seen the signs.  Don’t be sad for me be hopeful instead.  As I always say “Don’t Worry.”

Oh!  Just a few things to know about me:
My favorite color is dark pink.  I like Hanna Montana and my dogs name is Casey and my two bunnies are Geppetto and Sam.

My Aunty Cory makes blankets and pillows for cancer patients of all ages so when you get the chance please look at her Myspace.

I just adore this one!  It shows her cute personality and her amazing green eyes.

At the end of our session I kept asking Jazmine for one more shot…just one more.  She was finally done.  I picked up her jacket and gave her a look…she dropped her shoulders and said “OK, just one more.”  It was so funny!

Babies are my favorite…newborns are probably my very favorite, but my next is probably the first birthday.  What a privilege it is to watch these babies grow and develop their own little personalities.  Babies change so much in the first year!  Miss C came in for her first birthday photos and we had so much fun – and a little chaos lol.  I LOVE the big, decorated cookie mom brought in for her to devour while I photographed her.  So cute!

Big Sister C joined in on the fun too and they had the most adorable little dresses!  They both have the most amazing big eyes too.  I hope you enjoy these, M, and I can’t wait to show you the rest!

We are having baby chicks in the studio again!  Last time they were a big hit with the little ones so I’m having them here again.  Sessions are April 7th, all day.  The mini session is just $35 and special collections will be available.  Some of you have asked if they will be here any other days and the answer is yes!  We are chick-sitting April 12-17 so let me know if you need a different day.  They are just the cutest little chicks I have ever seen.  I’m attaching a photo that the owner sent to me!  Don’t you just love them?!
