Zen and Pester and their sweet owner =)

I had so much fun on my first "dog session". Susan called to ask me if I would do a session with her and her dogs. I found out quickly that dogs are a lot like kids (no offense). They are won over with treats and lots of encouragement. The dogs were a little shy at first but warmed up after some treats and play time. I had a great time getting to know Susan. She made me some hot tea (so sweet) and shared some of her life with me. She is a beautiful person inside and out. I hope you enjoy these precious pictures.

Ezra - Birthday photos

Ezra and my daughter (Hannah) have known each other since birth. In fact we have a picture of them in the isolette together at the hospital after Ezra was born. They are only one week apart. It has been fun to see them grow and change over the years. They used to fight over toys and squabble with each other and now they can't wait to see each other and play together. Tricia is one of my best friends. It was so much fun taking pictures for her. Here are a few of Ezra's six year pictures. Enjoy!!

Anna's First Birthday!!!

This is little miss Anna. She came in for her first birthday session (including a smash cake session). We had so much fun watching her smash into her first cake. She started with just a taste and then went full force (feet and all) into the cake. We had to put her in the kitchen sink after the session =) Anna is so sweet, full of personality, and cute as pie!! Enjoy her pictures.

My trip to Philly (with some of my favorite photographers!!)

I had the opportunity to spend three days in Pennsylvania with some of my very favorite photographers. 20+ photographers from around the country joined up in Philly to spend a few days together having fun, learning, and laughing. I must say I was sad to say goodbye. I learned soooo much from these girls and came away refreshed and rejuvenated for my upcoming sessions. We had dinner on Monday night at this cute little Cuban restaurant in downtown Philly. It took us a while to read the menu and in the end we just ordered and hoped for the best =) We also got to meet a famous chef (she is making brownies for Rachel Ray's show!!) Her pies were amazing!!!!! On Tuesday we traded tips, marketing ideas, and learned from some of the best photographer's in the country. I can definitely say this is one the best workshops I have ever attended. Enjoy the pictures!!

Baby A - What a cutie!!

This beautiful little girl was only 8 days old when she had her very first photo shoot =) She was sweet as pie and cute as a button. I loved meeting this family and could tell after the first few minutes of being with them that baby A will be well loved. Enjoy the pictures of their little princess!!

New Website is now LIVE!!!! Check it out!!!

I am so sorry that I have not posted for over a week. I have been busy finishing up my website, ordering new business cards, editing the four sessions I had in the last two weeks, and trying to be a mom =) I am so excited to announce that my new website is now live. I absolutely love my new site (thanks to the help of my friend Sunee). We both worked very hard to make my website a place that people would love to visit and a place where all your questions (at least most) can be answered. I am now booking sessions for Spring and Summer. Sessions are booking fast (Yipeee!!!) so call soon to reserve your spot. Thanks so much, Loree (Loree Alayne Photography). Just click the link to my website on the right hand side of the screen.

The cutest couple =)

This is my sister (Anna) and her boyfriend (Phil). They were kind enough to let me practice on them. I got some new equipment and wanted to try it out so they were the lucky guinea pigs. It was cold and we had to walk through deep snow but they toughed it out. I had a great time and love the way the pictures turned out. I hope you do too!!!
