I got her to smile!

According to her mom, this little girl has given every previous photographer before me a hard time. She has never smiled for any of them. Well, I love a challenge. G was definitely not into the idea of getting her picture taken. She asked me about 90 times "Am I done?" and I have some of the funniest faces in my files from her. But I had a secret weapon, a tickle stick that brought out this sweet smile.

I got to photograph the sweetest newborn, woohoo!

Meet J, a sweet little baby boy that I had the chance to take pictures of today. I absolutely adore shooting newborns, but of course, it is not without risk. Shortly after this shot he peed on me for the second time. And you know what, it was worth it. Hopefully mom and dad think so too.



J is blessed to have a big sister, M, who adores him. I just love this photo.

Celebrating Adoption Photography in Nashville

Today, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph this darling little girl, Sabrina, who was adopted from Guatemala. She was such a sweetheart and she had me wrapped around her pinkie by the end of the shoot. Don't get me wrong though, she sure made me work hard for these photos.

By the way, I did this shoot for free to help support the wonderful nonprofit group, CelebratingAdoption.org. If you have a chance, visit the website to learn more. You can learn more about the story of Sabrina on her mom's blog, www.michellesmiles.com.

We have a winner!

I used random.org to help me choose and the winner is post 7, which is Dave.

Thank you all for commenting. I decided to work with the logo the majority of you chose, which was 'c'. I will continue working with the designer and get it tweaked to perfection. So look for the final logo to be unveiled soon.

Also be on the lookout for another comment contest in the near future when I launch my new website and blog. There is lots of very exciting stuff going on around here.

Logo Round 1... Vote and you might win a prize!

Hello! I have found a great place to design my logo but it is so hard to choose. So I am asking for your help. Please leave a comment and choose logo a, b, or c. You can click on the photo to enlarge the photo and see the detail better.

This logo will be used on lot of things including my website, blog, as a watermark, on marketing materials and so forth. I can still tweak the colors, fonts and little details.

I really want the logo to fit with my style. Thank you so much for your help!

In 7 days, I will randomly pick a comment and send that person a $5 gift card to Target. Good luck!


P.S. This is round 1 and I should have round 2 up next week.
