Are you ever at work and wonder if you can pay them because you enjoy your “job” so much? That’s how I feel when I’m taking pictures. I love the interaction with people and having the wonderful opportunity to capture those rare moments and record them for years to come. OK sorry for the tangent, sometimes I just can’t believe how blessed I am that my clients will open their lives to me so I can capture and share those precious moments.
Another thing I love? I love shooting newborns, their sweet smell, their innocence just EVERYTHING about holding teeny tiny babies makes me remember that there is good in the world and makes me so grateful I have the best job in the world. I had the awesome chance of meeting Emma and Eli a week after they came home from the hospital. They were born 8 weeks early and were already a month old but were so tiny at just over 4 pounds each.

I love how Eli keeps trying to push Emma out of the way in this one, sibling rivalry has already started.






I think these next two would look great hanging next to each other!



I love the back wrinkles!!

I can’t believe how much this little guy has grown up since I met him! He has so much personality and just had me cracking up the entire time!







I wasn’t kidding about the personality part!

I’m so proud to announce the new kentiga.com and this blog has received a face lift as well! If you keep up on my blog through a blog reader check out all the changes! Let me know what you think! I still have a lot of things I want to tweak but I’m SUPER excited with how it turned out. Also you may notice I’m offering a $50 gift certificate for any referral, so let your friends know!
Since I can’t post without a picture, here’s a couple from this morning. Can I tell you how much I LOVE this hoodie? It’s Marie from Aristocrats! Who would have thought a hoodie could be so darn adorable?

I’m not the only one who’s excited about the new site!

Little Jada is starting to get quite the personality. I love holding her! Hasn’t she grown so much in the last few weeks?

You might remember Courtney and Ben from here. Poor Corbin wasn’t having a great day but I’m glad we were able to still get some cute shots!

If you’ve spent any amount of time here I’m sure you’ll recognize this great family I was amazed at how much McKenna has grown up in such a short amount of time!




Please ignore any vanilla wafers she might be eating, she was easy to bribe convince to smile!
