Welcome to 2010

Welcome to my new blog.  I am really excited to have you here.  My plans for this blog this year are to not only post some gorgeous photos of truly loveable people but also give  you  some really helpful hints that will have everyone shooting their own incredible portraits and kids photos.  

I'll be posting a series of topics called How to take Fantastic Photos of your Kids.  I have a sketchy outline in my head but here are some topics.  And if you have anything that you'd like me to cover then just drop me a line with suggested topics.
