Nothing but love! I have nothing but love for this little baby girl. I love her sweet face! I love her chubby cheeks! I love all the cute noises she makes! So much love I have to keep using exclamation points to make sure you know just how much I love her!!!!

Meet Noelle Aimé 😀 Isn’t her name so pretty? (Another thing I love) I took her photos about two weeks ago.  Here are some of my favorites.  I’m a fan of her special quilt that her grandmother made.  The colors and patterns are so different and unique than the norm of “baby items”.  And her mermaid outfit! I died – from the overwhelming cuteness! Next time around I hope that Noelle’s litte brother Maks joins in on the fun.  I think he didn’t what to steal his sisters lime light 😉

Thanks to Michelle and Johnny for working with me! You guys make my job easy 😀

I’ve been having a hard time with sharing this post. I’ve been avoiding it at all costs.  I’m sure you are wondering why.  Well its because it breaks my heart to do so.  I miss this amazing family and seeing their fun photos reminds me that they are no longer living upstairs 🙁  They moved last year in the fall and I’ve been missing them like crazy ever since!!! Not only do I and my husband miss them – but our pups miss them too.  They were our neighbors.  The best!! Simply the best 😀 But they were also more than just neighbors, they were our amigos.

We took the photos on Thanksgiving.  Perfect day to show how thankful we were for the great weather and to spend some time together before celebrating with family.  It was a long time coming, but I finally got to capture these happy faces 😀 Love them!

Here are a few of my favorite photos! I love the one where Owen is covering up his face when Mom and Dad have a little kiss.  Owen is a handsome charmer 😉 I miss the way he would say hello, and play with our dogs and hold the door open for me when I had groceries.  He is such a good kid 😀

Thanks to Kate, Dustin and of course Owen for being so wonderful.  We miss you guys every day and we are always thinking of you.  You guys set the bar high! No one will ever match that.  Wishing you nothing but the best! Much Love – Maria, Chris, Rocky & Pepper.

Cutie Pie Alert! Meet little miss Charlotte 😀 This sweet baby girl is so adorable! Just like her friend Mackenzie, this precious girl was someone I was dying to meet and photograph.  Luckily for me her awesome parents, Lynn and David, contacted me to do some portraits of her.

Here are a few of my favorite photos.  Can I get a chair like hers that says my name on it?? I think I should 😉 I also gotta say I fell in love with her chubby cheeks – absolutely made for pinching!

Thanks to Lynn and David for working with me again. I love that I was with you when you tied the knot and that I can continue to capture you, your love and your family as it grows 😀 You guys make me feel so lucky to do what I do!

Another special thank you to my awesome friend Kate who came along to assist me. Your help and friendship is something I am grateful to have.

You don’t know how excited I was to meet Mackenzie!  I only met her when she was hanging out inside mommy’s belly.  After seeing lots of pictures of her on facebook, I was happy to finally get the chance to capture her cute smile!

The session was a combo session.  Birthday Portrait and Holiday pictures. Three quick outfit changes, a shoe missing here and there, and some wonderful props.  I seriously am jealous of Mackenzie and her awesome tepee that her mom made 😀 A fantastic birthday gift! Now I gotta try and convince my hubby that its something we need in our home 😉

Here are a few of my favorite photos.  I really wish I had a bite of the yummy cake that Mackenzie smashed (ultimate favorite is yellow cake and white frosting) The only thing Mackenzie wanted at the end of the session was her bottle and no more cake.  I can only imagine that the cake was as sweet as her.

Thanks to Kate and Ty for working with me again.  Its always so nice to see you and I appreciate all the referrals you send my way .  You guys are the best!! 😀

Man its cold outside! Brrrrr…..

But here is some sweet family love to warm you up! Meet Kate, Anthony, Giuliana and Sienna! I photographed them back in November for some Holiday Photos.  The day started out to be one of those warmer days, but by the end of the day it got very chilly.  Despite the cold, this loving family toughed it out and gave me some great smiles for the photos.  Nothing but warm love 🙂

Here are few of my favorite photos 😀  I loved the girls outfits! So sweet! It was also cute watching the way Giuliana would play with Sienna and give her kisses and hugs. She knows how to be a good big sister.

Thanks to Kate and Anthony for working with me.  It was great to see you again out of a “wedding” setting 😉 And another special thank you to my assistant that day – Kate! You are very much missed! <3
