The Name Remains the Same....

I was stumped for thinking of a clever title to this post as the little girl and I share the same name. I'm taking suggestions! Feel free to comment!

Any-hoo, this is my second visit with this family! I photographed the two little girls back in November during my TY Park mini sessions, and now I had the privelege to photograph the whole family! Mom and dad included! The girls were unbelievably adorable!



The light coming in through her bedroom window was amazing!









Ernie and Bert had to duke it out for shotgun! Ernie always seems to have a way of winning doesn't he?!

Sneak Peak!

I'm happy to announce my first official session starring "the couch"!! I'm sure my new seatee will become a regular session staple! So without further ado........the "W" family!! 4 kids! An older boy, twin boys, and the most adorable little girl!

Have a great ski trip!!!!

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is my favorite season of the year! The weather outside is perfect!!! The greens just seem greener and the blues bluer! I love it! Now's the perfect time to get outside for those spring portraits! We all know it's only a matter of time before it's 5 minutes before we're drenched in sweat and the humidity ruins our hair! Plus, I've got this great new blue couch! Don't miss out!!!

Pirates and Princesses

What do you do when you have twin boys turning one and a girl turning 4 all on the SAME DAY!!!! You have a throw down that's fit for every princess and pirate in the kingdom! And that's exactly what this family did! This was the birthday party to beat all birthday parties. Lucky for me, it was my job to capture it!!!!

Pre-party princess! Do you remember Miss "R"? Still has as much personality as she did back in November!


















If this was the party for their first and fourth birthdays. I can't wait for her Sweet Sixteen!

I'm an Auntie!!!!

I had a newborn session with my nephew today! Yep, nephew! I'm an aunt, Lenny's an uncle, and Owen's a cousin. I love the way our family is growing!

2 days old in the hospital!


gotta love wrinkley, scaley, baby feet!


DEFINITELY an Ortiz man!!! hehe


His first official session! Hopefully one of many!!!

Boys will be Boys!

My husband and I have both said that we hope, when we do have our next child, that it's a girl. I don't think I could give you a definitive reason why, except that we want one, and because of the shopping!!!!!! Any mother of a boy knows that every children's section is 1/4 boys and 3/4 girls, and the girls clothes are so FREAKIN' cute!!! (Not that my husband and I have any problem spending money on our son's clothes and shoes! Have I mentioned that we all have matching pairs of white converse sneakers?? Now that's something to take a picture of!)
Anyway, I digress, I think my whole outlook on the girl thing has changed after yesterday. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with three brothers; four, eight, and eleven. Watching how they interacted with eachother, and watching how their mother interacted with them, I thought there really must be something to be said for having all boys. I asked mom, "did you ever think you'd be the mom to 3 boys?" She said, "no." But that there was nothing like it. And you know what? I totally believe it. Besides there's no stronger position as being the only woman in the house! :)

"E" told his mom that he wanted to get his hair wet, so he went and stuck his head in the pool!!! Gotta love the low maintence!!




I love the way the middle one is looking at me here! So super cool!








Bring on the family of boys! We're ready!
