Keep On Truckin

Look how lil man "A" has grown! He really rocked his session & we lucked out since a mean lil tooth decided to try & pop out at the end. Ooh, it looked SO ouchie! We had lots of fun & he did so well we quickly breezed thru each outfit & all the prop ideas his brilliant mommy had thought out for him. Great job to both of you & thanks for alll the fun!

My Heart Overfloweth

Wishing everyone a warm & fuzzy Valentines Day! My brain is still in disbelief & my ♥ overfloweth. This is a 1st for Star Portraits to already be booked up for the year?! = ) ♥ Thank you! ♥

I had taken time off w/ my daddy being sick & passing, a rough pregnancy & maternity leave that I was afraid I was going to have to re-establish myself. I could happily cry. Thank y♥ u! xoxo I do also to my surprise have a list if some of you might want to be added to. Sometimes sessions get cancelled & if it happens enough in advance I might be able to place you in the open spot. Let me know what month you were hoping for. Thank you Thank you again!! xoxo

Drawer Full of Sunshine

Doesn't she warm you up on a chilly February day? Lil Miss C ended my 2011 season with her newborn session & began my 2012 season with her 3 month session. She was sleeping beauty for her whole session last time & this time she was rockin some bright, blue eyes & happy, gummy smiles for her parents. There were so many great, great happy captures that it was taking me too long to decide on one to use for her blog sneak peek so I just decided to start from the beginning of our shoot. She was just warming up here & then she resumed her sleeping beauty status for her last shots. Such an amazing cutie & just awesomeness to see mini replicas of her mommy & then her daddy in the new & different expressions she made this session. Thank you Lil Miss C for being such a precious bookmark for my 2011/2012 season. xoxox

From My Home To Yours

I won't be a blubbery, teary mess this year. : ) But please know with all my heart how much I love & am thankful for you all. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas & a 2012 & many many years of good health, happiness, success & miracles. xoxo

From Ballet To Babies

This beautiful, tiny newborn has no idea that many many years ago her mommy & I spent years of dance classes & sleepovers together. As we grew into high school I got to know the funny guy that would years later become my friends husband & this tiny girls daddy. Our life roads took different directions after graduation and we lost touch for many years, but what a special little gift from above to help reconnect us. This past week having had a play date with another couple girls we grew up dancing with...it amazes my heart to think how we use to sit & stretch before class & talk about the boys we had crushes on & for some of us we were lucky enough for those crushes to turn into our husbands & now we can sit & talk about our baby loves. I hope our babies will be blessed with such special friendships in life as well.

Camo Cuteness

This is my 1st camo shot & I must say Alex is looking darn cute in his 6 month portrait. You know when you were a lil girl & you play with your dolls & dress them up in different outfits all afternoon. That's the kind of fun this session was. I felt like I was playing with Sandy's baby doll & having SO much fun & taking handsome lil pictures in the process. Thank you Alex for letting your mommy & I torture you. We love you!! : ) {{Hugs}}

New Star Alert

Congratulations to the lovely P family who have added another beautiful addition to their family with tiny Miss Alexis Cate! And giving Miss Sofia the grand title of Big Sister! I must say I have been spoiled the past couple months with super model babies who never fussed or needed a break the whole session! Even with 3 of my own I've never had such luck! I had yet another fun time & was honored to meet their new baby girl. I'm so happy for you guys! Thank you!! {{{Hugs}}}
