Babies. Oh babies! I know I'm not alone in saying this, but I cannot get enough of babies. They are the definition of cuteness. They are sweet, innocent, cuddly and if I could have held little Lilly all day long, it still wouldn't have been enough. She is photographers dream for an infant. Lilly is beautiful and loaded with personality already. Luckily, I'm all set on my end with the whole baby thing, so I will go snuggle other people's babies and then hand them back to mom and dad for the sleepless nights. :)

I Heart Kids

I'm trying to catch up on the blogging and failing miserably! But check out this cutie with the sunglasses. That ought to make you :)

When Taking Pictures...

A little advice for my fellow photographers. No matter how cute your kids, never - I repeat NEVER take photos of your own children. There will be whining, possible tears, temper tantrums and attitude by the truckloads. And that is just from you. However, if you have adorable nieces and nephews, click away. Hire someone else to tackle your kids. I have heeded my own advise (with the exception of having another photographer deal with my kids and therefore have no up-to-date pictures of my offspring) and had a quick 10 minute session with my sister's kids and look how gorgeous they are!

Little Man

I had such a good time with this cutie! He is so sweet and look at those eyes! If he doesn't melt your heart, then I don't know what will. Thank you to his mom and dad who let me invade their home for the afternoon so I could pay a visit with my camera :)

Keep smiling!

1st Day Photography

As I have mentioned, Elizabeth K Photography is having a major overhaul. I've gotten mixed reviews about this from the hubs, but he needs to learn to just let his little creative genius be.

One awesome new project that I'm offering to you my clients. It's called first day photography and it's going to be Ah-maz-ing!!! How it works: First, give me a call and let me know your due date so I have an idea when the session might be, then while you're still in the hospital just after you have had the baby, make someone else call me (seriously, you have some major rights while and right after giving birth) and we'll set up a time for me to come to the hospital and take pictures right in the room.

Why is this so incredible? Because I can capture those moments that otherwise will never be seen. Siblings meeting their new brother or sister, grandparents holding their first grandchild, the raw emotion that you feel when you and your husband are realizing the significance of what you have done together. Other than snapping some quick pictures, more often than not, we tend to not remember to capture these moments. Let me do that for you! You won't regret it!

Bogging = Failure

Ok. So, to anyone who even still checks this and doesn't have Facebook and actually cares what I'm up to - I apologize. But, unlike the rest of the times that I have come begging my blog for mercy, I am NOT going to pretend that I'm going to get better at this. I'll try, but if you know me like my husband does, you're snorting to yourself and rolling your eyes. Some things I'm okay at failing at however and blogging is one of them. Not because I don't think that it's important for my business to have an updated log on what is going on, but because it means that I've been so blamin' busy that I just haven't had the time or the energy. No time when you're a photographer is the best thing that can happen to you! So, here are the last what, 9 months? in a nut shell...

I have a baby baking, which has preoccupied me. Such little creatures and they can control every aspect of your life! Baby is due in 6 days.

Maternity and baby sessions are becoming a big part of my career and I'm LOVING it. Babies are quite a challenge, but well worth it. Here is some of my recent work!
