Oftentimes the people I photograph end up becoming friends, and sometimes they are friends already. With this lovely couple it’s a little of both! I knew Corey in junior high and high school in a land far, far away called Oklahoma. A year or so ago we reconnected, and I got to meet his sweet, beautiful wife, Lauren. I am so honored to be able to document these special moments as they prepare for the arrival of their little one. Corey and Lauren, you are amazing parents already!

…and mama’s little girl, and grandma and grandpa’s little girl…I think this little one must already know just how much she is adored from head to tippy-toe and what an angel she is. She’s absolutely gorgeous and rocked her first photo shoot! I think I’m going to have to hire her as a full time model. Congratulations again to the oh-so-proud parents! You are an amazing couple and such wonderful parents already.
p.s. I heard that she was born with a perfectly styled hairdo…how fabulous!
- spectacular lighting and spectacular photoJanuary 24, 2010 - 7:55 pm
- Just beautiful! There's nothing like a sleeping baby to make me want another one!January 24, 2010 - 7:37 pm
What a treat! Heather Pearce (photographer and friend) is having a boudoir portrait session giveaway. Ooh la la! Because I think both boudoir & Heather are fabulous, I’m sharing with all of you. When I started writing for this post, I tried to think of a few words that described Heather, and genuine and joy immediately came to mind. So I had to giggle when I went to read her bio, and there was the word joy written all over it…so true! Heather is a friend who has a smile on her face and laughter in her voice.
Her super spectacular giveaway is the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day or just to pamper yourself, so take a peek and give it a go!
- Oopsie! I fixed the link!January 14, 2010 - 8:44 pm

- Twinkle background? LOVE that. I want one. For... um... just because! Great work doll!January 17, 2010 - 11:24 pm

Sigh…they get me every time! This was an in-between moment during a photo shoot for a project a fabulous friend of mine and I are working on (stay tuned for that!), and it was so extra sweet that I had to share. I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas!
- the 'in-between' moments are *always* the best, IMO. The gift is knowing the exact second that they happen, which you clearly have. awesome :-)January 11, 2010 - 1:54 am
- so happy to see you shooting!! you gotz the goods!December 29, 2009 - 9:59 am
GLITTER!
I haven’t always been a girly-girl. Perhaps being outnumbered by my husband and two little boys has changed that, because now I am all about dresses, tights, and accessories…most especially those that sparkle! I don’t wait for special occasions either. I’ll wear my sparkly best to a playdate or the grocery store any day. Sounds innocent enough, but factor in my age (30s!), motherhood, and the shopping involved and glitter is a guilty pleasure indeed!
Thanks to Brandy and Danna at Two Photogs for the chance to be a mentee, and for motivating me to learn the self-timer function on my camera! I was lucky to find their site just in time!
And thanks to my little ones for napping a little extra so I could get this done.
- The pictures are beautiful! You'll have to show me how to use the self timer on my camera too. I'm impressed that you are able to get both boys to sleep at one time :)January 22, 2010 - 10:07 pm
- You are so darling!! AND I seriously had no idea you were in your 30s! That is craziness. I am so inspired. I do love your femininity and how it shows up in how you put yourself together. Makes me want to put a bit more effort in to myself!! :) Talk soon!January 13, 2010 - 12:03 pm
- Wow Jessica! I love these, you look great! The outfit it so cute! Lets get together soon :)January 12, 2010 - 10:31 am
- some girlfriends of mine organize 'dressy drink night' downtown once a month. I wanted to go in December but had a head cold. It's a chance for the girls and their hubbies or boyfriends (or just themselves!) to get all fancy and go have a sophisticated drink or two. This last time it was at the Arctic Lounge, a fancy place in a hotel downtown. Let me know if you want to go to the next one and I'll forward the FB invite to you! I have yet to go to one, but have 5 pairs of brand new (never worn) heels just screaming for the opportunity. (most days I look like I've just come from the dog park, so I totally understand, and share, the draw to 'sparkle', lol).January 11, 2010 - 1:59 am
- wow. you are amazing. these are so girly and gorgeous. love the glitter the light. your pose. spectacular.December 19, 2009 - 12:02 pm
- you look fantastic. now i best get my butt in gear and learn the self timer. hehe. thanks for that!December 18, 2009 - 9:37 am
- Beautiful photos! I love your outfit too. :)December 16, 2009 - 5:01 pm
- i love glitter too! and you look absolutely lovely in all that glitter!December 16, 2009 - 12:11 pm
- That glitter looks familiar! It was wonderful seeing you in November. Glad I could give you a reason to go shopping and add to your girly, glittery wardrobe. Take care!December 16, 2009 - 6:18 am
- Sooooo pretty! I love those tights!December 15, 2009 - 9:51 pm
- I can totally understand your need for pretty sparkly things...lol very cute! thanks for participating.December 15, 2009 - 7:47 pm
- Beautiful self portrait, my 4 year old disney expert thinks you look like a princes!! good luck :)December 15, 2009 - 7:26 pm
- Great photos! Nice and bright and I love the Glitter! You have to tell me how you survive two boys... I have one and another on the way! :SDecember 15, 2009 - 6:20 pm
It’s amazing what can be accomplished with a little bribery here and there…
- oh my gosh, this made me laugh! i loved the one where they are both crying. so cute!February 7, 2010 - 9:51 pm

A little bird told me that this precious girl arrived just in time for her mama’s birthday! She’s just a tiny pea, but I’m sure she already has countless numbers of people wrapped around that wee finger of hers.
- and she's back with a vengeance and super AWESOME!!!December 1, 2009 - 9:48 pm
- Beautiful!December 1, 2009 - 2:53 pm
