First comment!

Yay! Thanks to Rebekah La Pere for my first comment! Keep them coming!!! I'd love to hear from you when you check out the blog!

I leave you with a picture of Kevin stylin' on Easter. He had to have a mini photo shoot in the living room all dressed up in his three piece suit! It's convenient that he happens to know a photographer that was available on Easter Sunday!

Debbie and Bob - Charleston, WV

Debbie and Bob got married on Saturday at Elizabeth Memorial! They had an intimate wedding and a very nice reception dinner at Aubrey's Yorkshire Pub and Eatery in St. Albans. I met Bob when I did a headshot for him at the law firm where he works and I've been excited about their wedding since I met with them this winter. The wedding was beautiful and incorporated Debbie's boys, Daniel and Mark. The weather wasn't very cooperative so we didn't get the outside photos we had hoped for, but we did go to the Clay Center to get some awesome shots in the lobby for the theater. I had a great time with them and can't wait until they get back from their week of skiing in Colorado to see their photos!

Getting ready!

The rings!

Family prayer

First kiss as husband and wife

Handsome boys!



Dancing in the "swirlies"!

I love the lines in this photo and the contrast between the sunlight and dark wood in the room.

The beautiful Clay Center!


Debbie's idea - I love it!

One of two outside shots we got. It was too cold and windy to stay out long. I think that Debbie just wanted a photo of her wearing her pashmina!

The fabulous groom's cake!

Debbie was in love with her cake!

Cutting the cake!

Congratulations, Debbie and Bob! Thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!

The Kennedy Family

Kim wanted to have some family portraits of her and the boys taken as a birthday gift for her husband, Chris - Sshhh, his birthday is early next week! (I don't think he's checking out my blog while he's on a business trip - I think it's safe to post these!) He's out of town for the weekend, so I went to their house this morning for the session. Two energetic boys are always a challenge together, but we managed to get some great pictures. After they warmed up to having their picture taken, Taylor, the oldest, started working it for the camera! Before I knew it, he was posing the family for me!
I'll post more soon from part two of the session tomorrow. They'll be all dressed up in their Easter clothes for church so I'm going to grab a few shots at church in the morning.

Taylor, Kim, and Ryan

They probably spent half the session piled on top of each other

Part of Taylor's mini-shoot

Spikey-haired Ryan!

This is one of my favorites from the morning

Ryan brought out the stuffed version of their family. The big bulldog is Chris, Kim is the Panda, Taylor is the green bear, and Ryan is the little stitch. It was very important that we got this shot!

We had a lot of moments like this, too! I love Kim's face in this one!

Kim and her boys!

I'm heading out to a wedding this afternoon, so stay posted for some fun wedding pictures. We're going to drive around downtown Charleston after the wedding and take some pictures. I'm excited to see where we'll end up. I have some ideas that I think should be fabulous! Hopefully, I'll have a few posted here within the next day or two!

Baby Noah - newborn session!

I can't get enough of this little guy! Today we did his newborn session. I wanted to get it in before Easter so we could do some cute basket shots. He wasn't a big fan of the basket, but I got a few pictures in before the crying started - and a few after. I think the crying ones are adorable! He's four days old today and his modeling career is off to a good start. I've managed to fill an entire album of him in a week! He's going to have a well documented life!

How cute is he?

Mommy and Baby - both looking fabulous! (Laura does not look like she just had a baby!)

The answer to the question on everyone's mind - yes, he does have eyes! As Laura's mom said "He's a little stingy with his eyes!"

It doesn't get any better than that little head on your chest!

I just want to eat those little feet up!

Hanging out in the living room. He loved the bean bag!

The Easter Bunny came a little early!

Please get me out of this basket!

He means business now! He's still cute even when he's screaming!

I love this one! Something about the contrast between the smiling duck and screaming Noah makes me smile. This is just classic newborn.

Yep, he's four days old and holding his head up. When he was on his belly, he turned his head opposite of me every time I was ready to take his picture.
His Grammy whipped up this cute little blankie for him!

I love their expressions!

Holding on tight.

Mommy and baby moments

I think that Noah looks just like Laura in this one.

Still loving the little feet!

I love this series!

Look at that little fuzzy head!

Wardrobe change!

Someone who loves him a lot embroidered this! (It was me!!!)

Wrinkly long feet - I could just look at his perfect little feet all day!
