Oh my gosh…the smile, those eyes, the curls, those cheeks. I got a sugar rush just looking at this beautiful little girl. Her whole personality shines through in her beautiful expressions. She was a fun girl to spend a morning with!

I adore these 2 girls. Every time that I get to spend some time with them is special. Here are just a couple, but I’ll be adding more in the next few days when I get a chance…



All I can say is “whew”. I love Brady, but man…he is a force in motion. What a busy, busy little guy. I was so glad to have caught a moment or two of pure “Brady-ness”….






I’m so excited for Aimee and Craig. We met just a little over a year ago when they were pregnant with baby Jonah and it was such a miracle for them. And now, they are expecting baby Noah in just a few short weeks. Life can really surprise you sometimes, and I’m so happy that they have had such wonderful surprises!



Almost-one-year-old Miss C. is almost too adorable for words…but I’ll try-adorable, delightful, sweet, happy, yummy. Here’s one and I’ll definitely be adding more soon:

A few more…



We have a couple of great specials going on right now at Shades of You. Spaces are limited and will fill up quickly so please call or email if you would like to book a session.
First, we have our Mini Maternity Special-for all Mommies-to-Be due in August, September, or October. Book a mini maternity session (half price/half time) and your newborn session is COMPLIMENTARY (if held within the first 2 weeks). Yep, you heard correctly. We know that times are tough right now and we still want our wondeful clients to have the experience of both sessions.
Second, we are having a Sliding Summer Sizzler Sale for all returning clients (you know I love ya!). You can save up to 30% on ala carte prints for all sessions booked and held between July 10 and August 31st. Here’s how it works: 10% off of your session fee AND your ala carte prints for each time you’ve previously been here (up to 30%). So, if you’ve been here once you get 10% off your prints. Twice? You get 20% off. Three or more? 30% off. Please note that this is not to be used with other promotions or casting call sessions.
Finally, are you a new client? If this is your first session, mention our blog and receive half off your session fee and a complimentary 5×7 with your portrait session. Welcome to our little “family”.
Please call or email the studio if you are interested in booking your session. See you soon!
Well, as my Facebook friends know–we have had a roosting owl in our neighborhood that recently had babies. I have been just crossing my fingers to get a pic of the baby (one did not make it). So, last week my neighbor called to tell me that she could see the owl really well. I went down there with my camera and unfortunately for me, the baby wasn’t in the greatest spot with regards to the light. How thoughtless of her! So, forgive my not so great quality pics, but I just had to share my excitement. Everyone, meet “Baby”:


I had SUCH a good time with Ali. What a smile! And that’s just “her”. She’s so sweet and was just so enjoyable to spend time with.





Going to a client’s home is always an adventure. I never know what I will get in terms of light, furniture, decorations. But this little peanut has the coolest nursery….I’d sure sleep sweetly in that room if it were me!

Snugglin’ with mommy…I just love her sweet little face

And….well, who could resist?

We have had SO much snow this winter! I woke up to such a winter wonderland that, of course, pics were in order! Man, when your mom is a photographer you just never get a break, do ya?



And how lucky are we to live here?
