Family, Newborn & baby studio Sessions

How cute is this family?!? Wow I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted a blog! I've been so busy taking portraits that I'm now a bit behind on my blog posts, so I've decided to combine a few different studio sessions into one blog. Below are a few images from the recent family sessions I've photographed in my studio. I love working outdoors, but at this time of year it's great to do some indoor studio portraits! Especially for newborn photos I love working indoors and utilizing my adorable baby props! Below are some props from two of my favorite vendors Mudpies N Pigtails and Two of a Kind Design. Contact me for more information about indoor sessions and ask about my special offers!

Bill & Katie's Wedding

Congratulations Katie & Bill! This loving couple was married at the historic Scotia Inn surrounding by their friends and family. This sweet couple have been together for years and you can feel the love they have for each other and for their adorable baby boy Brody. I've been lucky enough to not only photograph their wedding, but their engagement, maternity and family sessions! My assistant Amber and I loved working with this couple and their energetic bridal party. I loved how they carried their vintage theme throughout the wedding from the groomsmen suspenders to the bridal partys stunning brooch bouquets. That's right the bouquets aren't flowers but vintage pins!Below are a few of my favorite images and to view their online slide show please click Here or visit pictage.com to view more images by clicking HERE.
