Happy Birthday!

These gorgeous twins, Samantha and Sophia had a wonderful Princess birthday! It was such a sweet little party where the girls actually got a real Princess visitor! They were so cute and in such awe of this real life Princess! They spent the first 20 minutes just staring at her with their little mouths dropped. Then they got to get their beautiful little faces painted and, of course, get all dolled up in tiaras and jewels. I'm sure these girls will remember this special birthday forever!

Mama Leave!

As most of you know, my husband and I are expecting are second little one in Spring...yay! Because this time is very precious to us, I will not be accepting any bookings from
MARCH 1ST to SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2009.
I will occasionally be available for reprints, albums, dvd’s, etc. Also, if you’re having a little one and need to get those newborn images before they change, let me know and I’ll try to work something out :)

Collections
Starting, 9/1/09, there will be exciting new portrait
collections available! This will also include an increase in rates. To have portraits done at the current $275 rate, you can book your session for January and February 2009. GIFT CERTIFICATES are also available at the current price, but the session must take place before March 1, 2009.

Thank you for your understanding and I hope to see you soon!
Happy Holidays,
Mariah

Scarlett's 1 Already!

Some of you may remember this beautiful little girl from her debut show, here on my blog, called "A Birth Story". Yep, that little perfect peanut has grown up into a spirited, sweet, funny and curious little toddler. I pretty much fall in love with all my kids but this one definitely has a special place in my heart...that's why there are so many dang pictures in her show :) I absolutely love watching all the things she's learning and seeing her play with her parents. They have so much fun together and I know she's going to grow up with an awesome sense of humor. Just for fun, I'll post the story of her birth after her big one year old girl session...just because they're so cool to watch together (I'd watch the birth first :)!

Beautiful Family!

This definitely had to be one of the greatest family's to photograph! Their wonderful kids were so sweet, polite and fun. They had so many things that they loved to do together as a family and all I really had to do was follow them around. The best part was definitely the baking...my daughter loves to help in the kitchen and it's always great to see other families enjoying that time together also...even if a few egg shells end up in the cupcakes ;)

The Cutest Sisters Ever!

Okay, I may be a little biased...these precious little girls are my nieces :) But still, I don't think they get much cuter! My brother's family lives a couple hours away so instead of using their home, we used another one that means a lot to our family...our kid's Yaya's and Boppa's home. It's definitely a place full of memories and our kids have the best time there. I absolutely love the images of each girl with their mom and dad...they obviously have such a special relationship with each of them and that always makes for a beautiful portrait. I know I'm going to watch this show over and over again :)

Dylan's Always on the Go!

This wonderful little family invites me to do portraits of Dylan every year around his birthday. It's so fun to see him grow up and watch all the little changes. One thing is always to same...he never stops moving :) This boy is definitely busy and always on to the next thing...good thing I remembered my comfy shoes this time! We had a lot of fun having him show us his favorite things..ringing the doorbell, playing with the antique clock and the gorgeous upstairs play room. I can't wait to see what he'll be like next year (gotta remember to get new running shoes :).

Fabulous Finnegan!

What a fun little boy! And a great name...I just might steal it if I have a boy :). Finn and his mom had such a great time together and it was wonderful to photograph. I love when little ones are just so sweet mannered and completely in love with their parents. Our session was so easy and relaxed and I can't wait to do it again!
