Shiner
I love doing pet sessions – they combine two of my strongest passions: animals and photography. And it keeps my husband happy because (rarely) do I come home with more pets, but I get my fix of playing and cuddling with them during our session. This is not to say that I sometimes don’t wonder if I could haphazardly slip these guys into my camera bag and bring them home with me.
And Shiner was no exception with his sweetest little dachshund face. We had great mini session last fall and look how adorable he is! His doting momma joined us for a few shots too and I love that. I hardly have any photos of myself with my menagerie. Something to work on this year!

Simmons Family
This is the sweetest little family I am fortunate enough to photograph pretty often. This was during my fall mini sessions (I know, I hang my head in shame for the length of time its getting me to blog this).
I have had almost an ENTIRE week of feeling pretty good (woohoo!!!!!) So I am thinking of possibly doing some Spring Mini Sessions for the remainder of April and into the beginning of May. If you are interested, please email me!

Rossi Family & A New Addition to our Nest
She’s alive!!!!!! Barely, but yes, alive. There are quite a few things going on:
- I’m pregnant! YAY!
- Pregnancy and my body do not agree – BOO! I’ve been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG)- yeah, the same thing Dutchess Kate is going through. I’ve been admitted into the hospital twice now due to severe dehydration and its no fun being so sick all day, every day.
- Being on the computer makes me incredibly nauseous. So I’ve been working on this post for about two weeks now. Ya.
- Despite this unforeseen roadblock, there are still LOTS of fun things going on this year at Free Bird and I really can’t wait to start sharing with you! :)
- Since I am due at the beginning of July, I am taking 8 weeks off – two weeks prior (because it’s likely I’ll deliver early) and 6 weeks after the babes gets here. So, what this means to you is that my “busy season” is drastically shortened. If you know you want summer portraits please get your name on my calendar!!
So that’s that. If you have any questions/concerns/words of wisdom on how to desensitize my nose to smells please tell me :)
And I do not want to leave you with the image of me being all sickly… so here is a radiantly glowing mama and adorable family! Her little girl should be here any now and I can only imagine how breathtaking she will be.
I present to you the Rossi family:
