Kiss Me!

Jacob loves his St Patrick's Day Shirt and wears it with pride! While I (Leann) am not even a wee bit Irish, I love all things festive and my husband is Irish therefore Jacob is, too! Jacob will not say the whole phrase but instead just says "I'm Irish!" Very cute! I have lots of new photos to post but I am way behind so just wanted to give a little festive hello to you all! Now it's back to working on all of your beautiful babies and wedding photos!

Charlie + Everett

Here are some photos of Charlie and Everett's Session at the "Old" studio! They are such cute little guys and had SO many great smiles for me!

And here is a thank you from their mom:

"Hello Leann! The pictures are once again amazing!!! You truly captured my boys! You are so talented. I love them. I cannot wait to decorate the house with them. Thanks for shooting my boys and our family again. I feel so lucky to have found you! I would never have guessed that Charlie was being a little stinker that afternoon and in need of a NAP. :) "

Thank YOU Jody for such cute little men to take photos of :) See you again soon!

Two Allies

I got the pleasure of taking photos of two Allie's in one day! The Allie above is 6 months old and getting so big already. Mom and Dad purchased my Babies First Year package so I come every few months to capture Allie's milestones. This time big brother and sister were home so we got photos of all of them. It's so sweet to watch how they all get along and play together. I'm sure mom and dad agree that they are all perfect little angels :)

My second Allie of the day was a super fun and energetic photo shoot at the studio. Allie was full of smiles and was enjoying running all around the studio. She actually started crying when the shoot was over (very flattering :) and didn't want to leave.

Grace + Lily



I get the joy of photographing these two little pumpkins a few times a year and every time is so much fun. We have done shoots at their house, at the park and at the studio. This time we did another shoot at home. Little Grace is just mastering the fine art of potty training. As you can see, she has some great reading material to help her along :)

Charlie+Jake 1 Month




Charlie and Jake were one month old and little troopers at their first photo shoot :) I always love the chance to photograph twins but up until now, have only had the chance to photograph boy/girl duos. It is amazing to me how they have already developed their distinct personalities. Charlie (the older brother) was the tough guy and Jake (the littler one) is the more contemplative and quiet. Congratulations to mom and dad on their sweet little men!
