I did Valentines photos for some of the girls in my playgroup, http://www.meetup.com/Asheville-Stay-At-Home-Moms-Playgroup/. I love these moms. Not sure what I would do without them! I still don’t know how stay at home moms did it back in the day before the internet. Talk about some lonely ladies, I’m sure! But the moms in my group have the cutest children and I love doing mini-sessions for them. I was very excited to do Valentines pictures too because I’m kind of a girly girl and love all things pink, especially on little girls. 🙂 I had a different set-up in mind and it didn’t work out like I was hoping. Hate when that happens, but this set-up was cute too. We had a great time yesterday. Thank you ladies for coming over and playing dress up! 😉 Thank you also to my amazingly talented and creative friend, Charity, for making the kissing booth. She made it for her daughter but was kind enough to let me use it with Mya and River too.
So Pure/Asheville Baby and Baptism Photographer
This mom contacted me recently wanting pictures of her baby boy done in his baptism gown. I have never done baptism photos but was excited about doing something new. I love how these came out, so white and pure. 🙂 We also did a few other fun photos. This baby was a dream to work with! He was so happy and content and we finished the session in less than an hour! He was worn out at the end as you can see in the last picture….such a sweetheart! He made me very excited about our own baby!
Slow Season
Ahhh, that lull after the holidays are over….gets me every year. It’s that time of year when everyone has already taken their family photos in order to get their holiday cards out on time and the weather is cold. Nobody is thinking about doing a photo session, unless of course it’s a baby session in the studio. 🙂 This time of year I start going stir crazy, ready to do some sessions again. And that’s where my kids come in the picture. I haven’t taken my camera out much lately at home, ever since I discovered Instagram. So this morning, I got it out and said, “Who wants their picture taken?” Both kids started jumping up and down saying, “Me, me, me!!” Wow. What did I ever do to deserve kids that love to have their picture taken? 😉 By the way, I am booking sessions for 2013, up until mid April and spots are starting to really fill in because spring is when the lull is over and everyone is ready to get outside and have family photos done again. I look forward to those days! 🙂
This picture reminds me so much of this, when my girl was so tiny!

Holiday Babes/Asheville Baby and Child Photographer
Today I did holiday photos for some of the babies and kids in my playgroup. I’ve wanted to do this setup with the lights since last Christmas so I was very excited to try it out. The kids all looked so cute and had a great time, mostly. 😉 For some reason, a lot of the moms came in today saying that their child didn’t take their morning naps. Somehow they always just know! This is my last session for 2012! I may have to do a Photo of the Year Contest. Hmm….stay tuned! Happy holidays to everyone out there!!
