Sweet sweet girl...

Here is another photo of little "A", my friend's niece. She is such a little sweetheart!! Just wanted to share it with you and celebrate summer and flowers :)

Oh my word!!!

This is my friend "C" from highschool. We go way back....and now she and her hubby are expecting! What an honor to do her mommy to be shots! First of all, is she not one of the most beautiful pregnant mommies to be that you have ever seen!?!?!?! I think so. So does her hubby :) Second of all...isn't the beginnning of a new life so awe-inspiring?? Praise God for His wonderful works and wonders!! What a cute and wonderful couple...one of those couples you meet and are like - "those two are PERFECT together!!"- so sweet, friendly, outgoing, and FUN to hang out with...anyways, here's a sneak peak. Also, Ryan found this spot while biking on the trail with the kids the other night and we visited it last night ( I almost passed out from the bike ride!!...it's been a long time but I'm getting back into this whole excercise thing!)...okay enough, here they are!

Check out

my Sieb family blog from today...Benjamin has this new facial expression where he "squinches" his eyes as shut as he can and smiles with all his might....too funny and so adorable!!!! (I think this is my first post without a pic! Wow!!!)...okay I'll post one from my friend's session that I found today...you have a beautiful little miracle Lacey and Garth!!!! He's so new you can see the baby hair (lanugo) on his arms.......so sweet. :) I just LOVE newbie babies...

Turning Two...

is sometimes hard to do...but this little girl did a great job!! This is little "A"... her auntie got her a photo session for her birthday! It was SO neat to take pics of her b/c her auntie was one of my roommates in college and then a bridesmaid in my wedding! She loves her little niece so much it brings her to tears sometimes just thinking about her. (What a loving autie!!) Even though it wasn't her child...this session was pretty special. What a blessing to meet little "A" and her mommy...and just look at those gorgeous eyes!!!

Okay, I could post forever on this one! Hope you enjoyed this sneak peek! Until next time ~ Thank you Sharon!!

May sessions...

are finally here! I am so sorry I am posting these so late! We have been unpacking and unpacking and sorting things galore (inbetween caring for and playing with two little boys that don't sit still unless they are eating or sleeping :)... I know I said I would post these Tuesday, so here they are (the ones I have proofed anyways!) I have so many from this past weekend...what a blessing my sessions were. The first ones are of a brother and sister that share a birthday! Happy 1st Birthday little "S" and Big #4 for "J"! The newborn session is of my dear friend and her hubby and their little 15 day old baby boy (at the time of the pictures). I was working on shooting with available light in the home of the newly blessed family - something I am planning to incorperate into baby sessions...an on location photo shoot for newborns up to two weeks only :) ...technicalities right or wrong...isn't he just breathtaking? His Daddy said something about the whole baby journey that I have to completely agree with - How can you witness life happening like that and hold a newborn baby miracle in your hands and not believe in God? Okay, so I said that, but he said something very similar :) Anyways, enjoy!!! Hey Moms and Dads - there are many more where these came from!!

May pics...

are coming soon! Sorry! I came home to a new house SWIMMING with STUFF yesterday evening and haven't time to sit down and upload/download (whatever you call it!)...and I don't work on Sundays....so...some sneak peeks will be coming by Tuesday. Until then here are some posted as a tribute to today....Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies, Mamas, Moms out there! I could post forever on this one...but will save some for another day. :)

Here's an oldie....

but a definite goodie. We are a little busy (and crazy) with moving here so am not taking very many pictures. I have a session this Thurs. and next week too, so will have new ones then. I will have my own room in the new house for my "studio" and for my stuff so I am very excited for that! We should be up and running in Chicago within the next couple of weeks! YIPPIE!! I will also be starting my first photography class next week...I can't wait!!!

Okay, so I can't only post one...you know that about me by now :) I just HAD to post these...this little angel was the one sitting in the hat box with the pearls just this last April session...as I said...the time flies by so quickly!!!

Remember the little girl...

in the previous April session post (that was posted after the sneak peeks) that was turned around? She has beautiful long brown hair and is such a sweetheart! Poor thing was having such a hard time that morning!! :( Good thing her big sister was there to comfort her. :) These are for her mom, 'T', who was probably wondering if I "got any" :)...well if these aren't precious I don't know what is!! You have beautiful girls 'T'!!!!

Okay before I get...

to work this morning I wanted to post this photo of one of the little girls from April that was not ready at the "sneak peek" :) Thank you so much 'J' and 'M'!! Your litte girl is GORGEOUS and does look like her friend 'M'!! Does it get any sweeter?? Look at those blonde locks!! Have a great day everyone!!

Can't help but...

post these photos!! I am biased of course.....:)

Okay, I'm done...:) (And these didn't even "cost" anything! ie; lollipop, jellybeans....:) New backdrop, need to work on lighting. I thought I could use just natural light, which worked great (now that I am learning the settings on my camera somewhat...but the coloring of the backdrop changes with the inconsistant depth of the lighting....hmmmm...I think I need to use lighting....:) I will be bringing this backdrop to P-Ville from now on and only have one session planned for May12th, anyone need pictures done or know of anyone? I have two or three sessions open! April sessions, yours will be sent out on Saturday :) (yay!)

There. I figured out how to fix the color. Ha ha! :) (For today anyhow.....)

SOOC
