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

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?

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!
