Oh my, am I behind on blogging, but the good news is that lots of blogs are coming up! First up is the Nassir family and their adorable baby girl Juliet. Just look at her cute cheeks. Don’t you just wanna gobble her up, or at least pinch her cheeks, lol! ;-) Baby Juliet was amazing and so cute. Her laugh and smile just captured you and made you giggle with her. I love the connection captured between daddy and his little girl. So precious. Nothing like being daddies little girl. ;-) It was such a pleasure photographing the Nassir family. Hope you guys enjoy!

I am so excited to share this baby shower with you! Gianna, one of my all-time favorite girls, with Chic Celebrations asked me to photograph her baby shower event, and of course I jumped on it! I love this girl! Gianna is one of the sweetest and most giving people ever. Even though she sat this out as far as event styling goes, she sure trained her girls well, lol. Plus knowing her, I am sure she really didn't sit it out, lol. ;-) They pulled together the cutest baby shower for Baby Charley. How adorable is the name Charley, love it! These gorgeous flowers designed by Jaclyne of Heavenly Blooms, OMG they are to die far. That Jaclyne is amazing and and her arrangements always seem to amaze me! I love the dipper raffle tickets and the messages the guests wrote on the diapers, so cute! We all had a great time and the shower was an adorable hit! Thanks for including me Gianna!

Be prepared to walk, climb, sit, lay down, laugh, and just get down and dirty. I am all for wearing crazy, impractical high heels for photos- but throw a pair of flip flops in a bag too just in case we have to walk.

Just be yourself! Not much more needed than that. Let your personality shine on! If you picked the right photographer that is the best fit for you, then it should come naturally.
