Charli's 3 Month Portraits

Tutus and Bows

Miss Charli and I had a short mini shoot just before she was 3 months old to showcase a hair bow that had been custom made and given to her. While we had the backdrop set up I decided to grab one of her mommy's old ballet tutus and play with that too.

Charli's 12-Week Portraits

My granddaughter Charli is growing and seems to change daily. I love how every shutter click reveals a brand new expression on her face.

Charli's First Studio Portraits

I'm in the process of setting up a home photo studio. Nothing fancy and not a lot of equipment, but I'm starting with some basics and hoping to add to it from time to time.


I've been anxiously waiting for an opportunity to take some portraits of my granddaughter Charli. She is finally home from the hospital and arrived just in time to give her mommy the best Mother's Day gift ever!


A couple of nights ago I set up an umbrella light, some cloth hung on the wall and snapped a few photos. I am very please with what I took and can't wait to take some more very soon!


Here are a few of my favorites. To see them all, click on any and be taken directly to the gallery where they are all stored:

Baby Cameron

It's been a while since I've had a portrait photo shoot. My camera acts up and I haven't publicized my photography overly much for a while. A couple of weeks ago one of my daughter's new friends had a baby boy. Like my daughter, she is a single mom and I offered to take portraits of her son. I've been wanting to experiement with infant photography and she was willing to let me practice with her son. I've learned infant photography is time consuming and requires a lot of patience but the results can be so darn cute! Here are a few of my favorites:















Because Cameron's "Pappy" is a biker I decided to find a "do-rag" and take some photos that might just appeal to his grandpa:

Spring Flower

Recently I had the privelege of photographing this little cutie. Isn't she the cutest flower among the bluebonnets?!

Photo Story Friday: Sugar and Spice

I took Friday off to catch up on some housework and prepare for hosting my family on Christmas Day. On top of that, I had a photo session for this beautiful baby girl, Elizabeth. This is my first infant portrait session so it was a freebie so I could put into practice some ideas I had. I sure enjoyed this session and snapped a few photos I love and hope her mommy does too!

Elizabeth receives a kiss from her mama, Lanie:

So precious

And yes, what photo session of a little girl is complete without borrowing my daughter's first tutu???

When I saw this tiny foot peeking out from the blanket I couldn't resist snapping a photo of it

Such a precious gift place beneath the Christmas tree!

Such bright beautiful eyes!

Sights like this just make you want to pick her up and cuddle her, don't they?


What a sweet sweet photo shoot! Thank you Lanie for loaning me your precious baby girl for photos!
