HBC Preschool Portraits



I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph these sweet little cuties while they enjoyed a fun Christmas party at their teacher's home! My ordering system is having a few technical difficulties, but the photos should be available for online purchasing by tomorrow afternoon. There will be several photos of each child to choose from. However, to hold everyone over until tomorrow... here is my favorite photo of each child! (ps... my faves might not necesarrily be what you want to order... but I just picked out the photos that i feel show the most personality of each child!)

Hope you enjoy!!!

Emily was such a joy to photograph. She has such an easy-going attitude and fun spirit. She even got into the waterfall at the arboretum for me!!! I'm so excited about the images we captured... especially with those BLUE eyes!!! My last two senior girls have had the most amazing blue eyes... I love it! Here's some of Emily's photos... hope you enjoy!

Emily's Senior Portraits {Sneak Peek}


I was so excited right after shooting this photo... I just knew it would be one of my favorites from Emily's session! No one could have predicted, however, my excitement at the surprise even that followed! Just after taking this shot, a horse-drawn carriage strolled into the arboretum, right past where we were standing. A very adorable couple got out, walked over and sat on a bench near the water... and the rest, well, see if you can figure it out!!!







PS... Dear lovely couple,

Congrats on your romantic engagement! I hope you have a blessed future! And... if you happen to see this and if you're looking for someone to shoot your engagement portraits and wedding day then drop me a line! *Thanks*
