We met the Hoffman family a little over 3 years ago, when big sis S was about the same age little miss G is now. It was crazy to see S all grown up, who I remember looking just like her baby sister. We were so excited to get to see the Hoffman’s again, as they’re just warm, fuzzy people that we love to be around (must run in the family–we love Stephanie’s sister, too!). Big sis obviously gave miss G pointers on what to do at her first photo session with us, because she was amazing, just like Miss S three years ago! Thanks for making our job so fun girls!

When I first talked on the phone with Melissa about her maternity portraits, I knew we were in for something fun when she mentioned the idea of bringing her firefighter husband’s turnouts to wear for some of her photographs. Well, even my greatest expectations were exceeded when we actually met the Beard’s and found out how fun (and gorgeous!) they are! They were both up for anything and were awesome in front of the camera. They even brought their 1st baby (a beautiful black lab) for some outdoor family shots. Can’t wait to meet their baby boy in a few weeks!

Miss T turns four today. How this little ball of fun turned into this…big..ball of fun, I can hardly remember. Everyone says it, but it is just crazy how fast time flies by with kids. Happy birthday Teagan! p.s. save me a donut.
p.p.s. Umm…Teagan? I think your buns were bigger in your 6 month photo than they are now!

Young Mr. Stettler is one of the most strapping young lads we’ve seen! He has the most unique features I think I’ve ever seen on a baby. This was his second of three Bebe sessions, and it was just as easy this time as the first to capture great expressions from him. The only bad thing–makes it really difficult for us to choose from all of his adorable images!

Miss N graced us with her sweet face shortly after she learned to sit up all by herself. Some babies are all smiles right away, and then some are like N, who like to observe everything with a quiet seriousness before she decides if she likes you enough to smile at you. Now don’t misunderstand–she is a content and happy baby; she just needed some time to size us up. Well, much to our relief, she decided we were o.k. and gave us some of the sweetest looks ever! Thanks to mom and dad, who also decided to smile at us! 🙂

I am a metal fan. So much I’m printing senior portraits on it. And if that’s not cool enough, we are offering senior portraits on acrylic! Check out these beauties. We are proud to offer fine art metal and acrylic for your favorite images. Talk about a statement…the fine art metal prints can be made up to four feet tall! Here are the first few off the presses.



We’re super excited to announce our upcoming event at the Silver Spoon Children’s Boutique! On Saturday, May 16 we’ll be at their store from 10am-1pm photographing moms and their kiddos to raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. We hope that all of you will come out in support of breast cancer research and get a cute mom & me portrait while you’re at it! We’ll be “thinking pink” that day and photographing on a pink background, so be sure to plan your clothing accordingly (don’t worry–if pink isn’t your thing you can choose the black & white option!). No appointment is necessary, so come on out and and get photographed for the cure!
About five minutes in to our design consultation with Sydney for her senior portraits, I knew this was going to be interesting. We discussed several locations and then she mentioned a tomb.
Insert record scratch sound.
Yes, that will be fine.
Couldn’t have asked for better circumstances. Beautiful light, beautiful Sydney, and a really cool location!
Thank you Sydney for being so adventurous and sorry I didn’t tell you about the spiders nest…until after I got the shot.


We snuck away for a short R&R trip to Carmel with the girls. Stef is awesome about planning impromptu things like this, and I am truly grateful. It was a wonderful time. Weather was perfect contrary to the reports, and the girls had a great time playing on the beach and exploring the town at our leisurely pace.



Sassy Miss C. was another one of our Cutest Kid entrants from earlier in the year, as well as another one of our “small world” encounters. When C and her mom were here for the 1st time, I immediately realized I knew them from somewhere. It turns out the Miss C. and our Reilly were in the same pre-school class together when they were just three! Well, C is all grown up now at the ripe old age of six and gave us some amazing looks; our fun hats worked perfectly with her sparkly blue eyes and gorgeous hair. It was so great running into them again…such a small world around here!
