And some more from the Valentine’s Day mini-sessions:

Oooh! Such cutie pies who came today for the Valentine’s Day mini-sessions! I’m just beginning to go thru the photos and found two of this cutie pie that I had to share — her hair is too, too cute (or in this case, tutu cute) Ok bad joke sorry.  :-)

Just a few more previews from this squishy baby session!  So much FUN!

Just a quick sneak peek for this family who I met this morning – I have to say, some of the COOLEST people in the world!  Joe and Carol – you guys ROCK and your baby is absolutely adorable!

Here’s a quick preview shot.. just looked at a few and was ‘aawwww’-ing over each shot. 

What an amazing, amazing session I had the opportunity to shoot.  Meet “Sala” … a woman whose eyes have seen more than their fair share of heart-ache…..as a holocaust survivor, her stories are simply gut-wrenching, and her survial, inspiring.  Here are a few photos from her interview, which I was honored to shoot:

Such polished and pretty hands, holding such a dark photo.

As many of you already know, I shoot for a wide variety of charities… one of them is called Celebrating Adoption.  This morning I had the pleasure of meeting this little princess and her family.  She’s been home a few weeks and the bond and love between her and her family is so evident.  Just a heart-warming session to shoot – here are a few previews as I have just begun to edit…

Based on last year’s interest and the calls already starting to come in for Valentine’s Day sessions – just wanted to let my loyal blog followers (y’all know who you are!!!) that there IS going to be a SPECIAL Valentine’s Session announced soon via the newsletter (and details will follow on the blog, “natch!”)

Meantime – here are a few of the cool valentine designs for this year.  And yeah, that’s my baby girl on there. She begged, and I couldn’t say no. Normally I don’t use them in my own promo stuff – but that cute face… and she was begging… so what could I do?  LOL.

OP:LOVE photos of your husband before he deploys to Iraq: PRICELESS

I love doing these Op:Love sessions.  Have had four in the last few days. Here are some more from the 3rd session.  Fourth session will be edited and posted (hopefully) tomorrow.

Thank you to all of our military role models.  Y’all are the true heroes.

LOVED this shot – I love how she’s peeking out at the camera…. 

Today I had the pleasure of photographing two amazing families.  Both were sessions for OPERATION:LOVE…. just opening a few previews here to share… here are a couple that I liked.  

For Dan & Drew — thanks to both of you for your sacrifice, as well as the sacrifice made by Heather and Tammy… y’all are amazing and it’s a true honor to photograph you.
