Did I mention the pets?  Whenever I do a photo shoot where humans and animals are involved, the animals always feel left out if I don't give attention to them too. 

Well did I mention they have SIX?

Unfortunately I couldn't get them all to pose for a group photo, but I do have wicked Photoshop skills.  Hmmm....

More sleeping shots, see, doesn't she cooperate nicely?  

Shameless plug for Brengman Brothers, it makes a GREAT baby gift.

One more cute one of her modeling her cow outfit...

And one more of her modeling one of my friend's handmade hats (Pink-a-Dot Tots in El Dorado Hills, CA)...

But wait, there's more...DAD!  I've yet to meet a father of a newborn who says "I WANT MY PHOTO TAKEN TOO!"  This time was no exception.  :)  I used my coercive and threatening powers on dad to get this awesome shot.  

Ok, I promise these are the last ones.  Love this gorgeous one of mama and baby.  Awww....

Thank you to ALL my amazing clients who give me a reason to follow my passion.  You know who you are. :)
