[ latest Buttons and Bows Photography updates ]
Hard to believe Memorial Day has come and gone, school is out for the summer, and the Fourth of July is just a blink away! In the last few weeks I've shot a maternity session, a 3-month old session, a baby's first birthday portrait event, newborn twin girls portraits, a 7-month old on-location session at an area resort, maternity / pregnancy portraits, newborn twin boys portraits, a newborn baby boy studio session, and a 9-month infant girl outdoor shoot at a local park. New photos were just added to the galleries. And if you just can't wait for future gallery updates, there will always be a few quick-peeks on Facebook.


June 2009 NEWSLETTER - this month's newsletter will make you think you're seeing double! It's all about twin boys and girls!

[ book your session early and do not delay ]
Now exclusively booking maternity and newborn packages starting late 2009 and beyond!


My focus — and my passion — starts with maternity and newborn sessions through your baby's first year. I do not divide my photographic-time with pet, wedding and event photography. Being truly specialized in what I do is reflected in the heirloom portraiture that will grace your family's walls for generations to come. My creativity, attention and devotion remains centered with what I do best.


"Black and white" and color traditional studio-style or natural light sessions in the comfort of your home - I am also available for contemporary outdoor and beach sessions on-location at local parks, area attractions, and Atlantic or Gulf beaches.



[ do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today ]
I currently am booked solid in 2009. Please use the contact form to inquire about being placed on a waitlist, or the possibility of a mini-session for Holiday 2009.


For maternity and newborn portrait session events, I advise all clients to book as early in advance of the desired session date(s) as possible. I am typically booked weeks, sometimes months, in advance — especially as the holiday season approaches each year.

I highly recommend contacting me immediately at the end of the first trimester for maternity sessions, and no later than the end of the second trimester for newborn sessions.


It is typically best to photograph a maternity session by week 28-34 of pregnancy, and a newborn session within the baby's first 10-14 days of life. Waiting lists are available, but only a session reservation fee payment will guarantee your reserved date and time. Extra dates are set aside in my calendar for "belly to baby" and "baby's first year" packages.

Check blog's "AVAILABILITY" section for open dates and fill out the CONTACT FORM.

Me on Me - from theknot.com / thebump.com "Bump Contest photographer tips":

"My goal with personalized custom portrait sessions is quite different than the corporate ‘cookie cutter’ approach. I want the client to know how important they are from the moment they open their first communication from me, to the session, on through the day they open their perfectly packaged order...

...Helping a family preserve a smile, a sigh, a yawn, a kiss, or the way their baby looked at a moment in time is honestly the reason I love being a photographer.
