My friend Mindy’s daughter Kenzie had a beautiful photo session at my parents “english garden.” It was such a blast and she is such a cutie. One of my favorite things is capturing little children at these ages. They are small for such a short time. Here’s some of my favorites, and you can see even more here!

Here are some of my favorites from my photoshoot of the adorable Brecken taken at Shades Beach at the beginning of June. He was so great, and really responded to his all our high pitched talking and funny faces to give us some good smiles and interesting shots! Also, he has the most unbelievable eyes!

Our beautiful daughter Chloe Grace was born March 9, 2010, weighing 8lbs 2.5 oz and 21 inches long at 11:18am. We are totally taken with her. Life has completely turned upside down for this little one! It’s amazing and hard all at the same time!

So bear with me if I don’t get back to inquiries right away or respond to your emails and calls. I promise to try to stay as caught up as possible Here’s a bunch more pictures too.

max’s baby annoucement

I worked on this last year and never got a chance to blog it! It also features original photography that I took when Max was only a month or so old. This mother wanted an announcement that also featured her other children so we made a card that allowed more room for that photo on the inside.

And below are some portraits I took of him and the rest of the kids about 2-3 months later when Max was almost 4 months.

Remember fall?? It was so pretty!

Well as many of you know, I’ve been asked to volunteer time to help document the exciting events at Extreme Home Makeover that is taking place right here in Erie, PA. The incredible recipient is Clara Ward and her family, on East 21st Street. You can check out pictures as they are shot, going up, right here at the Maleno Site. It’s been hot and exciting, and I’m honored to help. I will only be there until Sunday morning though, because we are going to Italy on Monday. Aaaah!! Anyway, check out the progress at the Maleno Site! I won’t be posting any of those shots here probably until it’s all over and I have approval.

———————————————————————————————————————————–

But in the meantime, here’s something else I was working on – a family photo shoot! I headed up to Jeremy, Carrie, Olivia & Emily’s home a few weeks ago to photograph their family just being themselves. It was by far my easiest family shoot and one of the most fun. They warned me Olivia might not smile, but she must have liked me because I had no problem with that It was pouring with rain that day, but we plowed through it and it actually made for the perfect overcast light to shoot in. Jeremy & Carrie, I hope you love these images and you treasure these moments in time for many years to come! I promise to get your disc when I get back from ITALY!

barrett, mom & dad

Courtney & Dan are my amazing friends from small group, and we share a few things – like the same exact silverware set and our wedding anniversary! So when Courtney inquired about me taking pictures and doing a baby announcement for Barrett I was so honored… We had so much fun. Barrett is such a HAPPY baby, I really enjoyed our time together and had to stop myself from continuing to take pictures (my problem in all my shoots, I never want to stop) So here are some of my favorite pictures, and then the baby announcement design at the bottom.

For the annoucement, the colors I had settled on way in the beginning because they are the colors in Courtney & Dan’s house, and I figured it would be easiest to match pictures in this way done in a house setting. Plus, they go together, and oh yes… I’m found of teal & brown since they are my company’s colors. I gave them five designs to choose from, some more complex/detailed, this is the one we all agreed on in the end.

Before Christmas, Katrina & Ryan asked me to come to the house and take pictures of their baby girl, Gianna. She was born very prematurely, so they can’t take her out of the house until spring of this coming year, but wanted some good family photos and some cute photos of her, their little Christmas gift for family and friends. It was such an honor, and so fun. Katrina had all kinds of fun get-up and spunk for Gianna to wear and model. My favorites are the ones with her parents, and the simple pink ones.

courtney’s shower

For the last few months, I’ve been planning with some small group & church friends, a small surprise shower for Courtney, in our small group. She had a large shower in Altoona, where her family is, but not one here and I wanted to do something for her. Thanks to some help, I was able to pull this together and surprise her! I couldn’t have done without the help I had. It was just some close friends, but I hope it was still special.

I had a particular vision for an invitation immediately and knew I could do it on a small scale since it was only about 15 invites for basically no $$. Courtney & Dan’s colors for the baby are teal & brown (like a lot of things in their house) so that was sort of the theme.

And Amy was awesome and made matching cupcakes!

Then the girly-ness ensued. There were lots of little babies there. haha.

Thanks for reading. Courtney & Dan, we love you!
