Jane and Dean

These two love bugs were awesome,  The images i captured fit perfectly with their personalities, and tell such an honest story. Jane came to me and asked me to capture a creative and artistic style I hope i got you every little detail you wanted.  Looking at these photos its hard to beleive how nervous Jane was when she arrived at my studio. she soon found her way and we got these perfect pics for her to  treasure forever.

A perfect picture

It is my pleasure…. to introduce this little love bug that joined the world.  How cute is he?  He was an angel all through our session, we could have photographed him over and over again.  hope you enjoy my selection.

Such a simple image. So much love. Leading me straight to the following quotes….

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Dalai Lama

Best of weddings…

2

A fellow photographer emailed me yesterday to ask me a few questions about my business, my clients and how I go about my everyday bookings, and essentially how I got to be where I am today. Answering her, I was struck by how much my business has grown and flourished in the past three years. Humbled, and as always grateful. One of the questions she asked was…

When do you feel most successful as a photographer?

My instant reaction and immediate response was “When my clients see their images, and cry.” Thats how I measure success. Honestly. I love nothing more, than when those who have chosen me to capture their treasured memories for them, are speechless, are happy, are thrilled. That means more to me than anything. So in thinking about it, I realized I may need to share with you some of the heartbreakingly beautiful images from a few of my wedding clients. I am so honored they chose me to photograph their weddings, and so terribly happy that they love their time with me, and their images. Enjoy.

I think the best way to welcome this week is with a big dose of adorable!
Are you kidding me, with the cuteness!!!  How sweet is he?  Unreal!  I have had the very good pleasure of photographing this little prince/devil for the last two years now.
This little one is beautiful.  Here are few my personal favorites. Its always so sad saying godbye to my baby book clients.. hope you an come back and see me soon.  If anyone is interested in starting a baby book or know of  anyone who is pregnant drop me an email or call us and we can talk through our packages with you. We take beautiful photos of your gorgeous belly and then a perfect little baby a month later and so on till your babys first birthday.  More than ever, I  appreciate and realize the intense value in maternity photos.  I absolutly love mine,  and once Pierce was born and I had no longer a bump I loved the photos even more.  In capturing a glimpse of the beauty of growing a baby.  The magic in setting aside the struggles and challenges, and just simply appreciating the beauty of what is happening within the female body.  Not to mention,  allowing a woman going through so much,  to see herself in a different light… my lights.

cheeky Charlie.

img_470

You can’t possibly not fall hilariously in love with this wildly spirited, amazingly cute, arm waving,  cheeky little boy!   Imagination is one of the most spectacular gifts of childhood, and when you have grown ups around that encourage imagination and art and life and laughter… it clearly shines. Especially through the lens of a camera.
Have a look at some of my favorites from our fun filled sessions of Charlies first year with Exposure Photography. Its gone so fast….all i need to do now is make your book.  See you soon little man x
