Halloween Mini Sessions!!

Still have some space available!!

Christopher Jr :: 1 Year

I had such a fun time photographing this sweetness for his 1 Year Session! Christopher Jr did GREAT!! I am officially back to work from Maternity leave and it feels wonderful. I love my job so much :) Here are some favorites from our session!!

Our sweet baby is HERE!!

On July 12, 2013 we welcomed our beautiful BABY GIRL into the world!!! We didn’t know what we were having, so when little Miss Gracie came out, I was over the moon!! There will be lots of cute outfits, bows and hairpieces in our future :)

Here are a few photos taken by either myself or my friends Leslie & Melanie!! So thankful for these priceless pictures of our sweetness! You can expect to see more of Grace as she gets older. We love her to pieces!

Grace Elizabeth Greff        ~       8lbs 1oz, 20.25 inches

I will be back to work in early September. I am soaking up every minute with Gracie, but looking forward to seeing all of my sweet clients soon! Feel free to email me if you are interested in a session. September has 1 spot left, October has a few, so please contact me soon if you are looking for fresh portraits before the Holidays!! Nov, Dec & Jan are filling up as well. Taking in 4 sessions per week only. XOXO!

Maternity Leave!

Well I am officially on Maternity leave! I am completely wrapped up with all shoots and editing until early September! I’m sorry I haven’t posted many personal entries lately, I can honestly say that my head has been so focused on preparing for baby, wrapping up work with my clients and building a house. I look forward to sharing more with you guys soon once the baby is here :) I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, so honestly it could be any day now. I am pretty sure baby is quite comfy in there, I’ll probably go until my due date or maybe a little over?

I wanted to share my Maternity photos with you all. My good friends Tim Pham and Corine Tran took these of us when I was 32 weeks. I will cherish these forever. I am so so grateful to have this special time documented. I rented some furniture to add a little something extra!

I am enjoying my Maternity leave – just relaxing, getting ready for baby and taking it one day at a time. I will return back to work in September and I will be shooting Tuesday/Thursday sessions at 10am and 4pm. I am booking up quickly, so please shoot me an email if you know you are interested in a session :) Of course, I will still be keeping up with my email while on Maternity leave.

So here is yours truly with a baby bump….

Camille :: 1 Year

Can’t believe this little cutie is about to be ONE!! I had a great time last week photographing Camille for her session at City Park, she did wonderful – lots of smiles!! It’s always bittersweet to photograph the One Year shoots after I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them every 3 months :)

Here are some of my favorites from the morning:
