I’m so blessed by this latest newborn session. I got to meet Lyndsey and Stev’s little bundle and he was such a good baby! I can’t believe how cooperative he was with our shenanigans. Take the first image as an example, he even made sweet baby faces for us. What a blessing!
This was just one of those sessions that I couldn’t have imagined going better, but I have to share a funny story. And it will give you a little glimpse into what actually happens behind the scenes of these sweet, naked baby photos. Baby Lucas did #1 and #2 (who doesn’t?). But he did his business during the family portrait, in his daddy’s arms and it got all over his white shirt…meanwhile Lyndsey and I burst into laughter and Stev was just mortified (even though we did talk about this as a possibility beforehand). We’re friends from church, so I feel like I can tease them a bit. So we were laughing hysterically as we ran for the wipes and paper towel and Stev must have thought we were pretty insensitive, until a few minutes later when little Lucas got his mama too. Then he thought it was really funny! But that is just part of newborn shoots. It just comes with the territory and it’s no big deal, and sometimes it can make for a good laugh. And minutes later, we’re once again captivated with what a special time this is in the life of this precious family.
After a while, little Lucas got very sleepy and even took a nap for us in this suitcase…
…and wash tub. And we couldn’t have asked for more!
Congrats to Lyndsey and Stev on the birth of their sweet baby boy! Baby boys are such a blessing and I know he will be blessed to have such wonderful parents! Also, if you’d like to see some images from their maternity session done by my friend and talented fellow photographer, check them out at Third Floor Orchard.

Just wanted to share a little hodgepodge of photos from a recent visit with our family. We started with a cake smash for my Little B. I wanted to have one before the big party that I wrote about in my last post and it’s a good thing we did because he is a slow starter when it comes to cake.
And then it was his cousin’s turn, I think I’ll call her Little K to keep this simple. We dressed her up in a leotard and tights. I’ve been so excited about photographing her as a little ballerina and am so glad to have found some time to make it happen.
And then we had to put the two of them together in their outfits for Little B’s big party!
It cracks me up to see them looking at one another so intensely!
Ok, you two, stop being so cute! As you can tell, I’m having fun photographing my little one and his cousin. This site is in the middle of a transition, so you’ll be seeing more and more little ones shortly. But I’ll tell you more about that later. Thanks for taking a look!

I’m going to get a bit more personal with this post because we celebrated a very special occasion this past weekend. My Little B turned one and we had our family over for his first birthday party and smash cake. It was so much fun and my husband and I are very touched by our loving family who drove many miles to be a part of it.
We had a circus-themed party because I know it won’t be long before he’ll get to choose his own party theme, so I made the most of this creative freedom and dressed him as a ringmaster complete with a top hat! And my mom and I had so much fun finding ways to decorate the house. Thank you, Mom, for all of your help last week.
I’m so happy to post about Sara and Nick’s wedding that took place about two weeks ago at Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort in Blairsville, Pa. The resort is gorgeous, but what really made the day was the affection that Sara and Nick share. They’re pretty smitten with one another and that makes my job so much fun.
We started at the Hampton Inn which is just down the road from the resort.
Charlotte and Casey planned a lovely wedding at Cefalo’s in Carnegie. It’s a neat church with original stained glass windows that has ben renovated into a banquet and night club.
But we started with Charlotte and her bridesmaids getting ready in their new home.
