Time

Before you know it, they'll be all grown up....

Lens Testing

A couple days ago I met up with a fellow photographer to try out a 50mm f1.4 lens she owns. I am considering purchasing one for myself and I wanted to take it for a "test drive" first. She was even nice enough to supply her adorable daughter as a model for me! After playing with it for a bit, I now SO want it this lens! I can see why all the reviews I've read about this lens are positive. It handles great. Thanks for letting me try it out, and thanks Miss M, for being a great model! Time to start saving my pennies.... LOL

Daycare Friends

Last week I had fun photographing a friend's daycare group. We went over to the park across the street and let the kids play while I chased after all ELEVEN them with my camera. They definitely have more energy than I do! LOL What a great group of kids! Thanks for letting me follow you around!

A Sad Loss

This weekend a very dear friend of mine lost her husband. His passing will leave a void in the hearts of all who knew him. A partial poem comes to mind that I would like to share in his memory. I apologize for not knowing the poet's name.

Remember Me

Do not shed tears when I have gone
but smile instead because I have lived.

Do not shut your eyes and pray to God that I'll come back
but open your eyes and see all that I have left behind.


Please take a moment to say a prayer for Nancy and Wade's family. Thank you.
-Juli.

Baby N

Finally, here are the photos of Baby N! Isn't he a cutie?

It's a BOY!

The long awaited for little peanut made his grand appearance Sunday afternoon - all 7lb 3oz of him! Stay tuned for photos soon!

Miss E

Expecting...

I took some maternity photos for a wonderful friend this past weekend. I had so many favorites, it was hard to pick just a few to show here!

I'm so excited to meet the new arrival. Will it be a boy or girl? Anyone want to take a guess?

Wedding Congratulations

A dear friend of the family got married this last weekend. During the cake cutting, several guests were standing behind the wedding photographer taking their own photos, including this adorable little photographer-to-be. I happened to look down just at the right moment and knew I just HAD to get this shot!

The cake and flowers were gorgeous....


...as was this adorable cutie in the wedding party!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

A few more lost photo files found!

I've re-uploaded some more of the missing photos in this blog. Just a few more to find, and hopefully I won't accidentally delete that folder again! LOL

Baby B

This adorable little guy is the newest addition in our friends' family. Congratulations and welcome to the world, Baby B!

Technical Difficulties...

Yikes, experiencing "technical difficulties"..... I'll try to get the photos back as soon as possible!

Baby S

This sweetheart belongs to a friend of mine. Thank you so much for allowing me the honor to photograph her. She's beautiful!




Also, a big thanks to another wonderfully talented friend of mine, Karen, who made the pink hat in these photos. She also made several others for me, and I'm looking forward to trying out those soon, too!

Five Cousins

Went to a nearby park last weekend to take photos of some friends. There was supposed to be a good chance of rain in the afternoon, but the sun ended up coming out instead, making the day rather warm! Thanks for being such great sports in the heat, guys!
