I loved getting to know these siblings - each of them with their own, fun personalities.
This one was super funky and giggly...
And this one left the session to get ready for her Homecoming dance! I wish she had brought her dress to the park. That would have been great! :)

Barbara's Newborn Twins
I was so excited to get a call from Barbara. She had seen my work in Olive and Bean Boutique and needed a photographer to take pictures of her newborn identical twin girls. It was all I could do to contain my giddyness! Identical twins - NEWBORNS! I couldn't wait for the session.
When I got to her house, I was introduced to the Princess of the Universe who already lived there. She has AMAZING eyes and fabulous hair! She and I played a little bit before it was time to meet the babies.
And the babies were just so stinking cute and sweet! They were not sleepy at all, so we decided to roll with it. Awake babies are fun, and two is definitely twice the reward!

Another Reno Session with Paddy and his Puppies
I had the most fun with Paddy and Sarah. They are seriously the CUTEST couple and their dogs are like their kids. I love that I got to capture them as a "family"...

The first of several Reno sessions
I absolutely LOVED my trip to Reno, especially the families I got to meet. This is Marie and her family - I love that she chose me for her portraiture investment. And I absolutely love love LOVED her fabulous red hair. If only there was a way for me to bottle that color!!
We took the pictures at Rancho San Rafael, my favorite place in Reno. The fall colors were amazing and I loved the way everyone coordinated so well.

Three Brothers
We had a beautiful morning in the park, and these boys were definitely a handful. One child is totally doable... two can be a challenge... but three? Whew! I had my work cut out for me. Typical brothers having all sorts of brotherly fun... and a few arguments along the way. By the time we were done, I had a great set of images I totally loved... and that's what it's all about!
This guy was such a charmer... and had a great smile!

Images of Hope and the March of Dimes - Join Us!
Wednesday, November 12th at 10 am, please join the Nevada Chapter of the March of Dimes at the NICU Family Support Open House!
The event will begin at the UMC Family Resource Center (1120 Shadow Lane) at 10 am, followed by three NICU tours of UMC that will be given starting at 10:30 am.
I am especially excited about the NICU tours, because the walls of the hospital are now filled with beautiful IMAGES OF HOPE from some amazing families! Canvases ranging in size from 16x24 to 30x40 inches now grace the walls of the 6th and 7th floor at UMC, and all of them show children who have graduated from the NICU! We also have a beautiful book that includes even more photos from participating families. This huge project has been several months in the making, and I can't wait to share with all of you the wonderful results.
If you are interested in attending the event, please contact Michelle Gorelow, Director of Program Services at the March of Dimes, at 702.732.9255. I will be there, and I hope you can join me!
In the meantime, check out the canvases that were chosen to be displayed on the walls (special thanks to Ken from bkfinephoto.com for his photos of Lily, Kelly, Kaylee, Alexa, and Joselyn):

The little swashbuckler...
Sweet little ladybug...
