Issa's Homecoming.....


"Issa"...as stated by my children, had her homecoming on Saturday 10/4/2008, and of course was asked to take the photos........even if I wouldn't have been asked I would have done it anyways. I've known Melissa since she was a little girl, and I truly feel within' my heart that she is my niece . She has been through a lot of trials and tribulations in her life, and now, with some wonderful Aunts and Uncles........I see such a bright future for her. I do hope she knows that I will always be here for her, to cheer her on, and to catch her when she falls.......I love you Issa.........You truly are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Shy Girl "M"



Ooooh.......our session was something else. We started out in the studio and she wanted NOTHING to do with it......she was so shy, and very upset. I pulled out some dress clothes, and long strands of pearls etc.....it seemed to help put her at ease, but really, just didn't want her picture done. So, I said to her Mama......"let's go outside to this little area where I do a lot of photo sessions and let her just rome around and be herself!"

I am so thrilled with making the suggestion of doing outside shots, because it turned out to be a lot of fun, and Shy Girl "M" no longer was shy!

Blue Eyed Baby Doll.....


This Cutie was a joy! Baby "J" was all smiles, and never cried once. For 5 months old you can't beat that. He loved to be covered with a blanket.......so I decided to cover his head with the american flag......what a great session it turned out to be! Look out for his sister too, she will be next to post......I call her my shy girl
