THOSE CHEEKS! THOSE EYES! THOSE DIMPLES!


I am in love with this little girl. I met Emma Kate at a wedding a few months ago, well, I met her parents and they asked if I would come and do a shoot for their little darling. Oh, let me just say that I could have taken pictures of her all day. I stayed long enough for a little fun in her room, a bath, a snack, a ride in her wagon, catching some air with dad, a super quick nap with mom, ( cut way short by me...actually, the click of my camera ) a book reading and play time with a pet bunny. We ended it all by thinking outside the box and putting her in it.









CHECK OUT HER SLIDESHOW.

Mom and Dad, get a kleenex.

Shawna, you are awesome! I keep looking over and over and over at these photos. I was worried since Emma Kate was not in her happiest mood, that the photos would only be so-so. I'm so glad that my worries were in vain. These are outstanding. I want them all!!

Thank you for being so fabulous to work with. Emma Kate was immediately at ease with you. She could play in her own element and she enjoyed interacting with you. Forget the weddings - child photography is your gift!

With deepest thanks,
Bradley (a very proud dad)

Shawna, I am in complete awe! I have watched the slideshow over and over and over....and I cry every time! You have captured my little girl's sweetness, her personality, and her gift of blessing everyone in which she comes in contact! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift that we have for all time!

Sincerely~
Alison

These pictures are so great! My mom and I watched the slideshow and were amazed. When I have kids in a couple of years I definitly want to have pictures like these to have forever.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Every single picture is "award-winning". . .no joke!!! I am speechless -- which doesn't happen often. I see Emma Kate at church and when she is "hanging out" with my neice Brittain, but I feel like I have gotten to know her so much more through these pictures. I just can't get over how every single shot is picture perfect. Shawna ~ you captured it all. Stellar work for sure. And Bradley & Alison ~ ohhhhhh, you must be glowing right about now!!
Love ya,
Cecilia

Thank you so much for posting all of those comments, Bradley! It makes me so happy to know that so many people get to see them. As a business owner, it's important to know what works as far as advertising, and this is confirmation that slideshows are a tremendous tool in getting the word out about who I am.
