Baby Liam 5 Months Old

OH MY GOODNESS THIS BABY! Can I squeeze him up and eat him for lunch! I am telling you he is the funniest baby. He giggles and gives you big eyes, he is just going to be a ham! I am in love with just about all from this session. I am so excited he is on the monthly plan...and I am going to make him cupid for Valentines day!

SHEW...

Well what can I say. It has come and gone. It was a wild ride this year!!! With parties and food, presents galore, and Christmas orders. Thank you all of my clients for making this the most chaotic year ever and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Without work and chaos I would have to work someplace else! In this economy thank you all for choosing portraits, calendars, collages and other fun stuff as gifts. With each piece that goes out of this studio, I know that there is memory given forever...and well we know I can get mushy. I just would like to sincerely thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for allowing me into you lives to follow, or catch that fleeting moment. Kids are little for too short of a time. All my first time moms...believe it. I never did, and wow Rachel is turning 5 in 4 months...(should I cry now or wait) and Rebecca is going to be 2 in May. (can someone please tell this baby weight it is time to go?!)

They change with ever minute that passes, and yes some minutes you want to pass quicker than others, they are all minutes of your journey.
Ok enough of the sappy stuff...lets get down to the business of 2009...

#1 NEW background ordered for the studio I am VERY excited about.
#2 NEW mini-sessions are being developed...stay tuned.
#3 NEW credit cards will be accepted as soon as I become a merchant.
#4 NEW refer a friend get a coupon will be started in 2009...still developing this concept.
#5 TWO beach sessions will be offered. I need some feedback for who might be interested in this so I can know when to book!

It is just going to be an exciting 2009!!
Stay Tuned.
and Thank you
Jacki

Garrett & Wyatt

It is amazing what photoshop can do. With children screaming, kicking, and biting one can only imagine the time it took me to get these right in the computer! From one face to another image to image I cut and pasted till my eyes popped! These kids were horrible - terrible and never invited back. NOW I AM JUST KIDDING WITH THESE. Now my whole viewing audience you can pick yourself up off the floor...smile and have some eggnog. These are my friend Jenn's kids and she has harrassed me till I put them online!!

Merry Christmas Jenn!!

Matthews Family 2008

OH MY GOODNESS we have made it! This was my last session before Christmas and I have made it through 2008. I just love these images. These parents were troopers and so were the kids as we shot and shot. Little Baby Jack was the sweetest baby he would just laugh and laugh. You could just whisper his name and he would just grin and he is just 10 weeks! The little blonde was a cutie pie and so was her sister, they hung in there for me. Posed family photos can be hard on young kids but these girls posed and smiled when I needed them to, and mom and dad did a good job at letting them be kids, and not smiley statues. Way to go to us all!!

Christmas Cuties!

Here is a cute Christmas pair!! I am just busy busy but doing my stuff now for the holidays! Just a note...the deadlines for taking holiday pictures is over. You will NOT be guarenteed Christmas delivery if we shoot at this point however we could try!! If we already have photographed you or your child I can still get prints delivered by Christmas. By the way also last day for Christmas set pics is Saturday the 20th. I will be de-decorating the studio and gearing up for Valentines days pics.

But in the mean time...here are those Christmas Cuties!

Christians 2nd Month Session

Ok so yes I do photograph animals in family session and alone. However when people ask if they can bring their animals sometimes I do get a little worried just because you dont know how an animal is going to respond to lights, studio, me etc. Lauren and Sean brought Chloe and did not tell me so there was no anticipation or time to stress. SHE DID SO WELL...once we got her in the door! LOL She thought she was at the vet and I guess her last visit there was not one she liked! So once in here she let me move her all around, she listened and well this post is really supposed to be about Christian but look how great Chloe made these family portraits!! YAH CHLOE...oh and the humans too! :o)

Family Session

This time of year is special and an honor for me. To be invited into families homes to capture their special holiday memories, I am blessed. Yes I am working but it is almost as though I am an extension of sorts to their families. I sit in the floor, play with their kids, help them make sure they look their best, I get to know them. It is not like selling something where you go in and it is all about you and your product. In fact my product is all about my customers, thier tastes, decorating their homes. I listen to what they want and try to make it a reality. I am just very happy to be where I am doing what I do, and at this time of year I just get mushy. So have I said it today...I love what I do.

Now enough gushing... here is the McCracken Family session the day after thanksgiving before the families split up and went back home miles away from each other.

More Weddings!

You know I feel as though I have just been blog-neglectful, is that a word? I have been so busy shooting, processing images, building albums...oh and ripping out our bathroom over Thanksgiving and putting new pretty stuff inside it back that I have been dissing- the blog! So next will be a few weddings I have finished up for the year 2008...only one left to go! YEAH!

Baby Liam

And then there is this handsome devil. This little guy was not liking the Santa suit so he just went to sleep and said I have had enough of you people and that camera! Yes but oh Liam what wonderful images you gave us by falling asleep! Have I told anyone today I love what I do?

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/liam4mo/index.htm

Baby Faith

Can you stand it 8 months already and actually I am late in posting and we are shooting her 9 month TOMORROW. I keep saying it but WOW time flies. So I have posted the Reindeer Faith as I think it is just the cutest picture of the bunch

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/11908FAITH8M/index.htm

Holly-Day Merri-Ment

It is crazy busy in the studio with holiday merri-ment. It is just a really fun time of year in all the chaos. This weekend is our family Christmas get-together. I am cooking tons of food for that and looking forward to just being with family and taking a small day-long break from working. I will still be shooting you can bet but more for fun stuff for me and the family! I have a few more sessions to post so look out for some reindeer, and a santa, oh and santa in a tux!

Kristin this ones for you!

Here is another October wedding. I love October weddings especially when they are this gorgeous!!!

Christmas Time...

You know...when I think of Christmas I immediatly hear Alvin & the Chipmunks. Is that bad?! I am not sure either way, so that is all I am going to say....Christmas Christmas time is near...time for joy...and time for cheer...

Anyway. Christmas time. Here is a set of Christmas fun. My Christmas seasons last from the end of October until the first of January. WoW. LOL

Enjoy.

Babies Babies...

Here is another cutie on my monthly plan. How fun he will be to watch grow. I am going to call him the man of many faces! and I do mean MANY! He was a chicken for Halloween...can you stand it!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/LIAM3MO/index.htm

Fall Weddings

Ahh weddings...it is so nice for me to get to post fall weddings. That mean I am catching up! LOL here is one from the fourth of October. (anyone after that - yours are coming out soon!) I am really right on schedule with my time frame. This was a favorite of mine as the location was just different which created some great images!

www.silverpixels.com/borleis.htm

GO VOTE!

So it is that day. Time to vote. Why vote? Because you have the right to. You know that war going on...helps ensure you can vote. Dont know who to vote for yet? Go vote...it will come to you. There are pros and cons to everything. Which side has the most pros for you. It is important, it is your right...and remember if you dont vote...you have no right to complain later!

Happy Line Standing...GO VOTE!

What I am up to...

So if anyone is looking for cute squishy baby pics, I am eyeball deep in Wedding images. I am trying to get all of them finished by Thanksgiving. Sooo...I will be back up and posting soon!! In the mean time...check out this wedding. Joy & Jeremy a Night to remember! LOL gotta love it!

www.silverpixels.com/91308weber.htm

Such a sweet face!

Look at this little one! Her face reminds me of a doll. Little pouty lip, smooth skin. She was not giving up too many smiles this day! But we got a few. I personally love when they give me the reserved faces. Moms always want the grins, I like the "what do you want from me" looks!! This one is surely a cutie no matter what she is thinking!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/HALLIE3/index.htm

Baby Christian

Ok so now I think I might get a little weird on you. HOWEVER I must say this. For anyone who has ever been here i think we all know there is no rhyme or reason why I do what I do when I shoot. Just ask anyone who has been sitting in 2 or 3 different positions..and I say "nope...still not right". Quite frusterating to the client I can imagine but I am not going to shoot an image if it does not "feel" right. Well this little man was here two days in a row! The first day was an ok day, he was NOT going to sleep...nope no way. When he did he would wake up if we changed postions. So I said to mom...dad is done bring him back when we can just wait him out. And I am certainly glad we did! I think the images that were "supposed" to come out of this session did. The last few images of him and mom are some of my favorite images I think I have ever photographed. MOM...I know you wanted naked...but I think those shot are what was "supposed" to be! Meet baby Christian...

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/10708-CHRISTIAN/index.htm

WOW

Has it been this long since I have posted anything. As Rebecca my daughter would say..SHEW-WEE. It has been so crazy in a good busy kind of way. So I am up to my eyeballs in images to go through and get posted. BUT here are the updated 7 month images of Faith. Man 7 months already...just seems like yesterday. I wont get mushy in my time of lack of sleep hecticness!! I love it actually...being really busy. Keeps me well...busy! LOL

Baby Faith 7 months...

83 Days till Christmas

DO YOU BELIEVE IT. Ok so with only 83 days untill the Holiday of all holidays it is going to start to get busy here at the studio. Prints, Holiday cards and calendars...oh how I love the excitment of it all. So this is a wake up call for me and you. I will be announcing a great Holiday promotion for the Christmas season. A hint it will have to do something with FREE CHRISTMAS CARDS. Ok that was a big hint, but the theme this year is family, family and more family. So your family is only you and your dog...that is family huh! Once the details are all ironed out, I will post it. You will want to get in on this as it has FREE in the title and it involves something most people mail out anyhoo! Ok so I cannot say the post office will go in on it and give you free postage...but the cards will be free...zero...zip...zilch...nada.
stay tuned.

Babies babies everywhere!!

Meet Baby Dillion I am sure I spelt that wrong...mom you need to let me know! But isn't he just sweet. I say he looks just like big sis, and I did not see her at this age!!! Babies...I just love them!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/91908-dillion/index.htm

FALL FALL FALLING LEAVES

Oh my how cute is this little monkey!! I just love this little one! Carice in the new fall setting...how cute are these images!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/CARCIEFALL/index.htm

DOUBLE TROUBLE!

Meet the twins Kyle and Nathan. Quite the cuties. Had fun doing this shoot. Mom is probably going to kill me as it has been a while and proofs are ust now going up!! Sorry!! But they are finished!! Yippee!!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/83108-TWINS/index.htm

Bees cant be this busy!

Ok so I KNOW bees are not this busy...their little wings would fall right off. It has been tremendously great here. Can you put those words together and make sense? Anyway busy is an understatement but it is wonderful...knowing January is coming up and that is a S-L-O-W down period. This weekend is the beach sessions. Cant wait for some RnR with a little work thrown in. I am a beach fan...not an ocean fan, and really I hate the sand. But something about being at Ocean City or Assateague makes me feel young. Anyone else feel like that. I am not old...but it just makes me free I guess. Anyway will be shooting...anyone still want in on it call my cell phone 302-545-8042 and come on out!!

Another Baby

Another Baby...another baby!! This little guy is so squishy. I love the boys...probably because I have 2 girls and no boys, but they just seem squishier. This little guy is on my every month plan!! Be sure to check back and see how he grows up!!!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/91008-liaminfant/index.htm

Faith 6 Month Session

It is always fun to watch babies grow up with the month to month plan. The first few months the images all kinda look the same except different props or flowers, but the same "baby". Then when they hit 4 months, then 5 and then 6 they start to get a little more personality. I love the sitting up stage. They are curious but not too timid, it is just a fun age. I am in love with the "angel" shots in this session...and mom and dad...lets talk about that Black & White and where you need that on your wall!! LOL See you in a few weeks for 7 months! Can you believe it already!!
www.silverpixelsproofs.com/faith6month/index.htm

Beach Shoot Coming Up

NEWS FLASH I still have a few spaces left for the Assateague Beach Session the last weekend in September. If you are interested please email me and we will set up a time for you and your family. If you are a senior and want beach shots this is the PERFECT time to do it!!

A NEW LITTLE ONE!!

So here is another little baby for you to view...How wonderful the little ones are! I simply love them. Just look at her, all squishy and new.

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/HORNINGINFANT/index.htm

SENIOR!!

FINALLY a senior! My first take...a little edgy as is my style but I really like most of them! Now to learn to widdle down a little more!!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/2008-SARAH/index.htm

Joy & Jeremy

Now let me tell you these two are SOOOO funny. I am really excited to do their wedding, I am sure there will be nothing but laughs and probably some unexpected things might happen! We will see!!
www.silverpixelsproofs.com/82808-WEBERENG/index.htm

Jessica & Dan

Such a great couple. I will be photographing their wedding in October I love October weddings!These two are just so sweet. It is an outdoor wedding so I am hoping for just a bit more cool weather and maybe we can get some really pretty fall colors!!!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/MELVINENG/index.htm

After Vacation

You know the ol saying...going on vacation is so much work!! LOL Well it certainly is when you get back! I have fallen into that trap. A good place to be actually. I have been working my fingers to the bone and my mouses tail off trying to get all the images uploaded! I have finished my last 2 engagement sessions and now I am off to finish a wedding. I love this time of year.

Mini Vacation

So I have managed to squeeze in a birthday party and mini vacation over the last few days. My hubby and I decided to take a MUCH needed break and we took the girls away to Assateauge Island for our anniversary. It was very very nice, and we think we will be going back in September. SOOO if any of you blog readers want beach pics, email me and let me know. We are thinking of a shooting vacation Sept 27 & 28 & 29. It is about to get busy in the studio. I am ready to assemble my "2008 Fall Collection" for babies and couples here in the studio. I get to do a test run with 13 puppies on Friday Night...I AM EXCITED!!! We shall see how it goes! I will post images for you to see. That is it for now. Check back often...I will get better at this!

Me

Little Miss Faith

Look at this baby...she is ALREADY 5 months. It feels like yesterday that her mama & papa were here goofing off doing their maternity session! It was so much fun. Well it is even better seeing the babies grow, I feel like I have many many babies but am only mom to 2. Well if you count my husband...3. LOL Well Miss Faith happy 5 month Birthday...cannot wait to do the fall session with you. I have some fun ideas!

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/faith5months/index.htm

Ahhhh Success

FINALLY they are online. So I must say someone tell me how this child should not be on the cover of Vouge. SOMEONE tell me PLEASE! I did not pose her in ANY of these images. Ok so maybe someone just needs to give me a reality check. But if anyone ever wants to know what I find creative and cool...these images are definatly it. Now let me tell you she is 4.

www.silverpixelsproofs.com/olivia/index.htm

2 Things...

Well there are 2 things you should never do...ok so there are more than 2 but for right now lets just say 2. #1 never take too long to get proofs up. #2 see #1 but multiply it by 10 when it is for family!! So I have done all the things in the world for this minute I should not have done. I will be back to redeem myself. (to said family member: there really is a reason really).

Babies Babies Babies I love Babies!!! This one is no exception!!! Meet little Raegan the sweetest little thing. Here she is 2 weeks old to the day! She just slept and slept through her session. It was priceless...did I mention I love what I do?
www.silverpixelsproofs.com/8408-RAEGAN/index.htm

One Year Olds & Flowers

Oh Lily..How wonderful it is to get revisits from the little ones. Do I sound like a sap! I hope so...I love what I do. This little one was not very happy with me, then she would warm up a bit...then well...she is one, these things happen. But I do think I got that little pouty lip just right in a few. She is definatly a cutie and I just love this age! Also that day I went and bought a TON of flowers to create sets with. This was what we threw together in about 5 minutes. See more at the link below!

4 year old Garretts Session

So my friend Jenn who is mamma to the Super Dooper Cutie Patootie Pie Super Why, better known as Wyatt also has a soon to be 4 year old Garrett. Now Garrett and my oldest Rachel are on and off again friends, (The power of 4 and "your not my best friend" then after the return of the toy...you are once again my best friend.) Jenn needed some studio shots to make a birthday invitaion, so I quick pulled Garrett into the studio and photographed him and a few of Rachel just to see what we would get! I dont think we did too bad concidering Rachel was jumping up and down...well...acting 4 and distracting Garrett. That is what is up with all the funny faces! Full session proofs are here.

Toddlers Toddlers Everywhere!

Here are some pics of a shoot I did this past weekend! This little guy was too cute as he DID NOT like to have cake on him AT ALL!! We did manage to get a few smiles in though!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
www.silverpixelsproofs.com/7508-griffith/index.htm

Well nothing from me for a few days. Been 4th of July-ing it up. Also had a few baby sessions and today TRIED to photograph my daughter Rebecca with a friend of hers, mind you they are both 14 months old and well...lets just say it went as imagined. Wyatt (Rebeccas friend) was very interested in being interested in what I gave him. Rebecca just wanted to come to me! Tough tough, but once I get the images processed I will post a few. Some are terrifically funny. I also photographed Ms. Faith a clients baby I have been following since before birth. I just love watching them grow up little by little. It is hard to do monthly shots but I do love seeing them. I also photographed Faiths cousin. I am hoping to have everything processed by Wed and have images up!
So enough for now, if i am going to get to post anything fun...I must get back to finish up this FANTABULOSO wedding. Stay tuned for those images!

:o)

You know its a party when...

You know it is a party when you find your feet in your cake!!!I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy last Sunday. We did a "super session" and he held up like a little champ! Was alot of fun! Have I mentioned some of my favorite people do not have their adult teeth yet?! Actually some do not even have teeth at all!!
