Zoe has arrived!

This bundle of joy just arrived in time... at least for me. Her mommy and I had due dates that were very close together. We were unsure if I was going to even be able to do the newborn session because I have started having contractions and huge swollen feet. We made it though! Zoe Elise was cute as a button with beautiful brown hair. She absolutely loved being tightly wrapped in her soft blanket. Here are just a few samples of her big debut!

A New Beginning

There are times in your life when you look back at moments and just feel like you are there again. I know that the day my dad got married will be one of those kind of moments. My dad has been single for over 25 years, waiting on who God would provide as his wife. On August 1st, 2009, my dad became a husband and I gained a step mom! I don't think I have ever seen my dad look so happy! Here are just a couple photos I took at the wedding. Please enjoy!

Callie is 10 months!

So I am a little late on blogging this one because of my trip to Indiana. But Callie turned 10 months! We decided that we should hit the zoo to play in some water and smell (or eat) the flowers. We are just a couple weeks shy of having her 1st birthday and one year session at the beach. I got word from her daddy that she is walking now with no help!

Amazingly beautiful Genny!

Genny is a young, beautiful, talented girl who I met through a friend. She is going to school for sport's photography herself, but in the meantime, would like to have some experience in modeling. We hooked up to do some headshots a couple nights ago. Boy did she blow me away! She was a natural! When I placed the make up on her eyes, it was as if they came to life! I know when the time comes, Genny will have no problem finding work. Look for her again soon, because we are trying to plan a beach/swim suit session too! Here are a few samples from the session. It was so hard to choose what to post in my blog because they were all soooooo good!

Happy Birthday Ty!

This little man was a mover and a shaker today! I can't wait to post the photos of him actually wearing all of the cake. He wasn't interested at first until he got a small sample in his mouth. Birthdays are so much fun for me! Especially when a lil' boy is turning the big ONE! Happy Birthday Ty!

Welcome beautiful lil' Addilyn!

What a precious little girl! She is only 1 week old in these photos and hungry as a grown man! I decided to try some new ideas out, so there are only two photos here so far, but more to come. Her mommy makes invites and many different stationary type items. See her blog at www.dennettesdesigns.blogspot.com Congratulations Mana and CJ on your new arrival!

Creativity is pouring out!

A former student of mine is trying to go to college for something in the makeup industry. I contacted her and said that I would like to help her build a solid portfolio to submit to the college. Last night we got together and created some amazing photos! She is brillant and talented and just beginning! Many thanks go out to the ladies who came and allowed Keri to just try and stretch herself to a new level. If you are in need of makeup services please feel free to email me and I will put you in contact with Keri. jnhalstead713@yahoo.com

Congratulations Taylor!

My girl got FIRST RUNNER UP and MISS PHOTOGENIC!!!! Beautiful and stunning Taylor took home two awards at the Miss Providence 2008-2009 Pagent. These are her thank you cards that I designed for her! Congrats again Taylor! If you click on the photo you can see it in larger size.

Callie is growing!

Well little Miss Callie is now 6 months old! She is growing like a weed! We decided we were going to do a happy spring session with her. It' amazing to see her go from newborn to half way through her first year. She has the cutest cheeks!!!

Mary Kathryn is stunning!

This beautiful young lady calls me up and says, "My mom really would like to have a new photo of me to hang up on the wall." So I did more than that! We did an entire modeling session with her. She was so much fun to work with! I plan to do a senior session with her in the fall. Enjoy!
