Hannah 8th grade portraits (click for gallery of images)

(Hannah's Slide Show CLICK)This afternoon I had the privilege of working with another daughter from the Wilmes family. I did big sisters Senior portraits this spring. I was thrilled to know that they loved those so much, they decided to forgo spending on 'school portraits', and set up a session for their younger daughter's 8th grade portraits with me!
Hannah is so lovely, she was a breeze to work with. I just love her session, and I hope Mom and Dad will be happy with what we captured as well. Enjoy her preview of teasers. The rest will go into her online gallery in a few days.

Natalie Casler's Bridals

Yesterday I worked with Natalie Casler to shoot her pre-wedding day bridals. Her MOH and hair stylist Hope, had her looking fabulous. Her location was South Creek Farms in Spring Hill, and it had everything to offer in making the most of Natalie's beauty in her lovely Bridal Gown.
Wedding day is Sept. 12, 2009. So you'll have to check back to see images from Friday's session after the wedding, must keep her beauty a secret until then. ;o) Be sure to check back for teaser in a few more weeks, let the count down begin!

Samantha's a year old (+one month) (click to see slide show of entire session)

This morning I meet up with Samantha and her parents for a nature walk, and photo session. She was chipper and newly walking! It was really fun seeing her explore the gardens. We all got our exercise as we went from spot to spot finding just the right light and back grounds to show off how much she's grown. I am excited to get through all the captures and finish up my edits so Mom and Dad can enjoy them.

Salon Blonde... Miranda's new hair cut (click to visit salon webpage)

Today we tried a new to us Salon here in Spring Hill, and we've been to more than a few over the years. This time we were thrilled with the stylist's attention and skill. His name is Mark and he's to be found at Salon Blonde. Our friend sent us his way after he did a great job on her long hair. (to me if a stylist does long hair right they are really good)
Well Miranda's had long hair most of her life, and really wanted a drastic change. Not something you entrust to just anyone. Choosing Mark was the right way to go. She feels GREAT, and so loves her new do.
If your looking for someone tell them Paula and Miranda said see Mark at Salon Blonde. ;o)

Baby shower for Amanda and Ted

This past weekend I threw a baby shower for my beloved friends Amanda and Ted. I had lots of help, so everything went really smoothly. A long list of people who took part in making it as special as it was. It was so nice opening my home and seeing them so well supported into their new adventure of being parents. Can't wait for baby to get here! I know he's going to be so adorable! Anyhow, here are some pic's from the afternoon baby shower.
