These adorable girls are all cousins.  Olivia and Mya, both, had baby sisters a few months ago, just a few weeks apart.  Their mommies asked me to take their photos of the four of them, so of course, happily I said yes.  I've had the pleasure of shooting Miss Mya since she was born.  She is one of my favorite subjects.  And how could she not be with that face? Cuteness definitely runs in their family.  Check these cuties out!

I have so much catching up to do on my blog!  And I know…I still need to post some shots of my new little man.  I will.  Promise.  In the meantime, I am going to make these posts short and sweet, just like some of my adorable fun little clients.  :)

Meet Kayla…a spunky blond-haired blue-eyed lookalike to her daddy.  I shot this little sweetie a year ago and here she is today, at the ripe old age of 2. Hope you enjoy :) xo ~ Val

Wow.  So I have had 10 sessions in 2 days the past 2 weekends.  I thought I was going to be super tired and worn out not just physically, but creativity-wise, but strangely I wasn't at all.  By my last session each day, I was still rearing to go!  I guess that's a sign you love what you do?  I honestly kind of forgot how much I love my job after being away for so long and suddenly being the mother to not just two lovely children, but three.  I knew I had an itch to get back, but I didn't realize how much.  Once I picked up the camera and captured a few keepers, I knew I was back to being in love with the camera from the other side.  For these sessions, we were greatly blessed by two gorgeous November days.  How likely is that for November?  I was pleased.  And I'm so incredibly pleased with the results from my sessions.  :)

Here are the Vangilders…a beautiful family of 4. We had the gorgeous sunseting skies to work with so they were the lucky ducks of the day.  Thank you, Brooke and Grant, for allowing me to take photos of your family.  I've been looking forward to it for some time.  Love to you ~ Val

Oh my goodness!  It's been ages since I've been on my blog.  So so so much has gone on in the past 6 months…difficult pregnancy, having my baby boy, hospitalization from complications during my c-section, and then the juggling of a new family of 5…hence, the reasons I have been gone.  But…I'm BACK!  No way would you get rid of me forever :)   A few weeks ago I did a session with one of my favorite families.  Here's some of my favorites from their session.  And, I promise to post some shots of my new little guy.  That's on my to-do list.  Plus…some other new exciting announcements!  Come see me on Facebook to be kept more up-to-date!  xo
