Oh My Gosh... I shot the cutest little ray of sunshine on Sunday. I prefer to have my newborn sessions 10-15 days after they are born because they are normally a lot easier to work with... but I think this one month old did an amazing job....

A sample from my latest session. Twins... Yeah! Isn't she Gorgeous!
Well after many up and down moments I finally made the decision to start a blog. I have no idea how long it will last or if I will ever find the time to actually keep up with it... so let me start with introducing myself...
