I Spy Cake!

I truly enjoyed photographing the baby shower and was delighted to discover these two captivated by Clara cutting her cake. I didn't notice them as I was photographing Clara but on closer inspection who did I see but these two clearly waiting patiently for some cake. It was a delightful surprise to find them in the photo. I have to admit this is one of my favorites from the baby shower. I have always wanted to capture children looking at a wedding cake but have never had that opportunity so discovering these two spying the cake at the baby shower was a treat to me. I love photoshop... I was able to crop the original photo and enlarge the two little girls looking at the cake!

Baby Shower

It was so much fun photographing Clara's baby shower a few weeks ago. It was nice to see all of the ladies that I photographed months earlier for their Dusty Divas portraits. The husbands have been gone for several months now and everyone is eagerly looking forward to their return this summer. It brings back wonderful memories seeing this next generation continuing the military lifestyle. Some things never change...

Clara with her puppies

new venture ... Maternity Portraits

Once again my daughter has opened up a new area of photography for me by introducing a friend of hers who was expecting her first child this month... actually Ava was born this morning! I hope to have the opportunity to take some baby portraits very soon! In the meantime here is my first attempt of doing a new and exciting area of photography that is expanding rapidly. Mothers now celebrate their pregnancy and want portraits of this time. Clara was my first model and I had a great time photographing her. I included a portrait with her two dogs. I hope Brian, her husband, deployed with the Navy enjoy the portraits we took that day.
