Little Miss Paige

Every time I photograph this little girl, she puts a huge smile on my face. I'm not sure if it's the gorgeous full lips...those great chunky thighs...or her infectious laugh! What I do know, though, is that shes' one of a kind and I love her!

Little Miss Brooklyn

Where do the years go? We think our children are going to stay little forever and then we turn around and they're nine! This was the best girly-girl afternoon ever!

Little Mister Tyler

"...tough day at work! Let me tell you about it...first I just sat there not knowing what to do. Then mom grabbed my hands, so I thought I would try out some ballet moves. Enough of that...just let me look adorable for awhile. I thought I would try eating a flower but mom would have none of that. How about rolling around and laying on my belly. I mean, it's been a busy day..." I'm sure that's exactly what Tyler would say! Thanks for a great afternoon!

Latest Spool Projects

I feel absolutely blessed that I have all these creative outlets I get to share with others. If I'm not photographing newborns, then I'm sewing beautiful "diaper bags" for newborns. Actually, they are more for mom to carry. Dad's typically go to the local baby store and register or purchase that "all-american diaper bag" that we've all had. Mom's, however, come to me and say, "Please make me a diaper bag that I will actually enjoy carrying around...PLEASE!!!" Absolutely!!! These two turned out beautiful. The purple hues of one and the greens and blues of the other...gorgeous combinations!

Beautiful silk & micro-suede exterior with handles long enough to throw over your shoulder.

Fully lined zippered pocket extending the entire width of the bag...perfect for phone, keys, planner & wallet. Nothing gets lost among the baby items.

Extra exterior slip pocket for "quick-grab" items!

As with every "Spool No. 241" Tote...always spot clean or hand wash and line dry. Never use a hot iron as it could damage fine fabrics.

Small end pocket in coordinating fabrics for phone & keys...or baby's pacifier!

New design elements for 2012...tabbed handles and roll-over edging! Perfect way to blend the coordinating interior lining with the exterior.

As always...hand stamped leather tag made from recycled leather and vintage lettering tools! Love them!

Tutu's...Balloons...Cake...

...what more does a one year old need to celebrate her birthday! We had an absolute blast this day! Thank you for letting me be part of the celebration!

Little Mister Riley

I love it when moms are okay with their children's photos containing their best friends...his was "Teddy". And let me tell you, he has been LOVED!
Thank you for sharing him with me!
