New Adventures

So it seems that entering into a new life adventure often calls for the services of a photographer. And of course I am more than happy to oblige!

In the past week I have had the pleasure of photographing two newborns--my niece Paige and little Grant, born just two days after Paige. Believe it or not, newborns are some of my most challenging subjects. Now I know you're thinking, Julie, they sleep constantly and they don't run away so how challenging can they be! All of my newborn sessions, though, have lasted about three hours. Those three hours are filled with lots of nursing, peeing, pooping, fussing, and finally SLEEPING--which is what we want for newborns! But take a look at the beautiful angels below and you'll see that with newborns the reward is definitely worth the challenge.

I also had the pleasure of photographing a young lady entering an equally exciting stage in her life--marriage! Candise is getting married in May and a family member was sweet enough to offer bridal portraits to her as a gift. We had a great time out at Tanglewood taking her portraits. I just love the look of outdoor bridals!

Here's sweet little Paige:




And her future fella, Grant:



And here is the lovely bride:



Also, I'm starting to think that you all cook about as well as I do because I don't have very many recipes in my email box! Someone needs to win that mounted 12x18 portrait, so dig out those recipe boxes and email me something tasty.
