oh-oh-olivia!

Greetings, everybody!
Jennifer and I finally sorted through little Olivia's session from last week and picked some of our favorite images - it was a tough choice being that they were all fabulous, but these special beauties just touched our hearts. Thank you Blair and Paula for being so laid-back and easy to work with and thank YOU little Olivia for being such a good girl for your first official photoshoot! We can't wait to see you for your 6 month pictures! :)

stella + daddy = precious!

Jennifer and I had a fanTASTIC shoot today featuring a little 3 month old darling named Olivia - we're still in the process of sorting through the images, but they're STUNNING and I can't wait to post a sneak peek here on the blog in the next few days - so be on the lookout!
In the meantime, here is a picture I snapped of hubby Kevin and one of our pups Stella before heading off to the shoot...I don't know what it is, but something about it just takes my breath away!

happy valentine's from picsee!

Just a short post to wish all of our readers the very happiest of Valentine's Days! May you spend it with people you love!

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."

And to sign off, here's the fantastic Valentine card I designed for my wonderful sis-in-law Rachel and bro-in-law Mark...featuring an image of my gorgeous niece Annabelle Gracen! (you'll spot her all over our website, too!)

jessalynn + hunter : engagement

Jessalynn and Hunter are such warm and fun people! (Not to mention gorgeous!) Jennifer and I will be shooting their wedding in May, but we also did a fun engagement session with them and their sweet doggie Gypsy back in November. It took place on Hunter's family's farm...spectacular location, but little did we know that it would be FUHreezing cold that morning! Thanks for bearing with us, guys - teeth chattering and all! We'll see you again in May!

meet baby ava

Ryan has been friends with my hubby since high school, so when he and his wife Donna announced they were pregnant I immediately volunteered to take baby pictures! Baby Ava was completely precious...wide-eyed and awake through almost the whole shoot, this little 4-weeker didn't miss a trick! She was a little trooper through it all - I couldn't have asked for a better model! Her first photo shoot was definitely a success, and I can't wait to see how she grows. Here are a couple fun shots from the shoot and also the adorable birth announcement Donna selected:
