In November I had the pleasure of shooting one of my very best friends’ new line of clothing in New York. Kamilah Cole is an incredibly talented woman who graduated from Parsons and is now releasing her Spring/Summer 2010 collection. I am beaming with pride as I’ve seen her set a goal and now attain it. She is truly an example of hard work and dedication.

All of KGrace’s clothing is made from eco-friendly, or sustainable fabrics like modal, silk hemp, and cotton hemp blends. Kamilah describes seeing so much waste produced by the fashion industry and the drive that created in her to make a change. “By choosing to use sustainable fabrics, I hope to be able to do my little part in helping to keep the earth a little bit cleaner and to leave it for future generations.”

KGrace has extended a 15% off deal to all my readers which will be good until August 8th. Use the code LAUNCH15 at checkout.

There’s not much more beautiful then seeing two parents absolutely smitten with their baby. That was certainly the case with this shoot. I discovered a new talent we coined “the spider” which had baby and parents rolling and got some really great smiles. She was done after our first location though and no amount of spidering could get those infectious smiles again. Thankfully it’s hard to tell babies are crying when they’re held up in the air. Thank you Reynolds family for making the trip to see my camera and I.

Meet my newest niece, Lizzie. She is the miniest doll I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’m so happy I was able to finally meet her and had my camera!

Molly just turned one and her mommy is smart and booked a separate session for her, in addition to big sister’s and a family shoot. She wanted to make sure we got lots of shots of each of the girls and they weren’t too overwhelmed on the day of the family shoot.

Molly is afraid of the grass. DEATHLY afraid! We found that singing her song, “Good Golly Miss Molly” got her to stand for a couple minutes before she realized where she was. Thankfully they brought some chairs along just in case. She was a doll. Just look at those eyes and pouty lips!

Three cute girls, each with darling names. Thank you so much for participating!

We’ve been trying to meet up for quite some time now so I was thrilled when the Fitch’s booked a Candyman mini session. Though the weather gave us a run for our money and caused some rescheduling, we were able to raise $950 for the Ashby family. Thank you so much to each family who participated.

The Fitch family booked this session specifically to get a family photo to include in their adoption papers. Even from our short half hour together, I could tell they are great parents and will be to another baby hopefully soon.

I’m so lucky to get to take pictures of this incredibly handsome family yet again. I love repeat clients! This time was even more special because I got to meet their miracle baby, Jane. Jane contracted bacterial meningitis just days after her birth. Months later, multiple surgeries later, just look at this beautiful baby girl and the joy she brings her family. I am daily amazed with the miracles I’ve been blessed to witness.

I’m officially photographing weddings now, woohoo! It was so fun to be a part of Laurie and Ryan’s special day and see the love between them and the merging of two families.

Please contact me for pricing if you are interested in having me photograph your wedding.

…to my own father who taught me through his actions how important it would be to choose a husband that would be a good daddy to our kids. And to my husband who makes that dream a reality with our children every single day.
