Another Miracle Baby

Let me introduce you to baby Lincoln. His due date isn't here yet (Sept. 2), but, he is! Lincoln is about 6 weeks old and has had an amazing journey along with his mommy since May. To learn more about Lincoln, you can see his blog at www.tmrempel.blogspot.com. 

I am truly amazed and inspired by Lincoln and his parents. He did such a great job today for only being home a few days. Anyway...take a peek below. The first image is one of my favorites, being held by Daddy!

In Mommy's hands!
I got a smile!!! Yay!! He teased me with a few smiles here and there and of course I wasn't ready, but I managed to get this one! So adorable. 
Thank you to Lincoln and his parents for allowing me to photograph him. I can't wait to watch him grow up!! 

Does anyone have baby fever yet? 

Water Shot

I would love to be able to do underwater photography, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon, so I will have to settle for above water! We finished up this senior's photos this last week and we were both so excited to be able to do this pool shot. I hope she likes it! I think it looks pretty cool!

Precious Twin Girls

I was soooo excited to be able to photograph these beautiful twin girls yesterday. They were 9 days old and just so adorable. If you thought the last images caused baby fever, these will make your temperature spike!! 

I absolutely LOVE this one!! It's not too often you catch a "smile"!

Snuggly sisters!
Pretty in (light) pink!
Pretty in (bright) pink!

Congratulations to the mommy and daddy! These girls are so beautiful and thank you for letting me capture their sweetness on camera!! :)

WARNING: Images will cause baby fever!!!

Welcome baby Fisher! He was just a week old for these pictures and was awake most of the time. This is so precious!! He is already stretching out and is losing his newborn curl. I have always wanted to do the rings on the toes because it captures just how little a newborn is, and they don't stay this way for long.

I think he will have awesome blue eyes like his big brother.

Love the little details of his lips...
and feet!
He came out with his hair already styled! This is so precious.

 Congratulations to baby Fisher's family!! 

Another Maternity

This beautiful momma-to-be is due in August! They are having a little boy and are going to name him Boston! Another Boston was born in May, so maybe they will be classmates! Congratulations and I can't wait to meet the little guy!

I like this one, so happy in love awaiting their new baby!

Thanks for letting me capture this precious moment for you!

Business Cards

I have been quite busy today making my new business card. It is safe to say that I am ready for a break from this computer!!! Anyhow, here is the front of my card:

and here is the back:

I went live!

Well...I can't believe a year has already gone by since I first became serious about actually being a REAL photographer! Last June I bought my camera and afterwards helped my friend shoot at weddings throughout the year (and learned SOOOO much), and practiced on many people. So, thank you if you let me take your pictures this last year. You'll never know how much I appreciate it! 

Anyway, I thought this would be a fast process. Take a few pictures here and there, edit, get a website, put it together, launch. Well, I don't think a year was very fast but I do realize even now looking back at my first images how much I have improved. If you go back to my first entry on the blog it was June 08 I believe and I had just bought photoshop. Wow. My list of things to buy continues to grow (and get more expensive - it never ends)! 

My main reason for this entry is to let you know that I have launched MY REAL website! I have a .com! I am so excited. Without further ado, check it out and let me know what you think! Hopefully I can photograph YOU one of these days!!
