Tadiparthi Family Pictures

This shoot is special because, not only was this my first time officially working with this beautiful family after seeing them at several parties, but it was also my first gift certificate shoot!  One of my clients gave this shoot to Ravi and his wife as a gift for their 10th Anniversary.  I can't think of a better gift for someone than memories!  Details on the gift certificate packages I have available are on my website. 

We met at the Tadiparthis home to start the shoot, and we moved to a local part half-way through.  This was a wonderful family to work with!





































































Thanks for letting me capture some of your memories, I had a great time!

Melanie's Maternity Pictures

When my friend, Melanie, was just a week or so away from her due date and I had not yet taken a single maternity picture of her yet, I was beginning to panic.  After all, friends don't let friends have babies without first taking their picture, right???  But, fortunately, we were able to squeeze in a few pictures one afternoon that I babysat her youngest son, Jack, so that she could go to the doctor.  We did what we could around my house in the elusive, end-of-the-day lighting.






Melanie's husband, Brad, was at work but I told Melanie to steal Brad's ring for the day!



This is my favorite!

The only way we could get Jack to stay still was on this thing!

As a mom of 3 boys, Melanie's getting used to having to live by the masculine theme!












Thanks, Melanie, for letting me snag some pics of you and Jack!  Baby Will is such a cutie and I will be sharing newborn pictures soon!  :-)
