I will have to post some more from this day once I edit them, because I’m totally in love with her bathing suit, it is SO cute.

This photo was taken of Lila doing one of her favorite pastimes–throwing herself on the couch. She loves to stand up and look out the window, and then throw herself on the cushions. Never fear–I’m always sitting on the couch with her, barricading her in. This is a good example of why I love wide angle lenses! And of shooting from the hip. Big fan.

Happy Weekend!!

I just had to share these photos of our daughter dressed up for her first Halloween. Isn’t she the cutest white tiger ever?? I think so.

(These were all taken at my sister & brother-in-law’s new place, which is just minutes from us. We’re SO excited they’ll be living close by! And check OUT that light in their daughter’s room, it’s to die for.)

The first two in this series totally crack me up–is she a photographer’s kid or what?? I’m already getting dirty looks!

First things first, a quick overview of what you’ll find on my blog. I will be posting sneak peeks from sessions here for my clients. Clients, make sure you check in here a day or two after your session! I will also be posting ways to make the most from your custom photography session with me, and will even have some fun tips and tricks for taking better photos yourselves.

*The “website” button pretty much speaks for itself. Head over there if you’d like to check out my portfolio, or if we’ve had a recent session and you are looking for your gallery.
*The “connect” button is my favorite feature. Go here to find out what makes me tick, fan me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, sign up for an email subscription to the blog, or add me to your feed reader. Lots of ways to stay updated on the goings on here at the MJP blog – and where I just may be announcing upcoming exclusive session opportunities and contests!
*Use the “categories” button if you are looking for a specific type of session, such as maternity, newborn, family, or child photography.
*The archives button pretty much speaks for itself. Head here if you’re looking for a past post I’ve made.
*I will be adding some of my favorite links to that “links” button soon. Be sure to check back soon!
*You can use the “contact” button to shoot me an email anytime. I do my best to reply to all emails within 24 hours.
I think that about covers things for now. So, welcome, don’t forget to sign up/fan me/follow me, and stay tuned for some recent sessions that I just HAVE to blog about!

And because I can never end a post without at least ONE photo, here are a couple of recent images of our beautiful little girl, Lila. I’m not even going to attempt to tell you I won’t post too many photos of her on here, because I’d be lying. She’ll likely become a familiar face around here!
