Yep, she had a smile that would not stop. Her mom said she was full of personality, and I agree. A pleasure to photograph in the studio, she never stopped smiling for me.
Oh so perfect! One: a very sleep baby. Two: the perfect hat prop to go with dad’s shirt–gotta love when that happens. Three: she’s perfection at its best. I have to also give a shout out to Windy Barker and her wonderful hat making skills. You can find them HERE. She made me several, including a few “angry birds” and a sock monkey.

The two littles are six month old twins, and their big sister who has been in to the studio a few times before.

Little Jaxon–he was wide awake for most of the session and really gave me a run for my money, but we did finally get him to sleep for forty winks and captured a few closed eyes. He was precious!

A few months ago, I did a newborn session and had just gotten a new pink scarf that had a big rose on it. I got it out and showed it to the mom who told me that Rose was their baby’s middle name. How perfect! When we photographed this sweetheart, I got out the new sock monkey hat I couldn’t wait to use, and guess what? The mom said that they decorated her room in MONKEYS so that hat was just the perfect prop. Isn’t it great when it all works out perfectly? think yes.

I love photographing children, why else would I become a children’s photographer, right? The challenge of getting little ones to connect with me when they have never even met me is such a thrill. But sometimes, sometimes I amaze myself with what I can do with the camera. One at this age is a piece of cake, two–I love a good challenge, three–I know I can do it, it just takes a little extra patience, but four little ones–one a newborn, one around 7 months, and the other two under 5–well that is something. But these little ones were so amazingly good for me. The newborn slept the entire time (that can be a feat unto itself) and the others, well they just practically posed themselves for this shot. I’m in love with their cooperation, they were such great kids! And I know their grandparents must be thrilled to have this shot of them all together. I would be–but don’t rush me on the grandchildren LOL!

The first words that come to me are “wow”. I mean really, was the storm we had anything like what you were expecting? Not for me, that’s for sure. At first it was like, “oh how nice, the snow is so pretty, and look, there’s so much of it, let’s go sledding and have some hot cocoa.” And then after the snow stopped and the freezing rain and all the ice hit, and we lost our electric and internet for several days, it didn’t seem so much like fun anymore. The internet is my lifeline to my business, when I lose that I lose business and income and my livelihood. Luckily it didn’t last long, and by the end of the weekend we were rocking and rolling like nothing ever happened. I got to enjoy several movies with my daughter, got a lot of reading done, and caught up on all my editing (thank goodness for our generator!) So it wasn’t at all a bad thing for me. I even had a chance to take my macro lens out (although when a big tree branch snapped right next to our garage and it sounded like guns going off, I decided maybe indoors would be safer) and get a few shots of the snow and ice.
I want to hear your snow/ice storm adventures. Did you make the best of it, muddle through or suffer without power and internet? How did you prepare your meals? Preparedness (and the lack of for 90% of Americans according to a recent poll) fascinates the heck out of me. So come on…share your experience.

Can it be? Already? YES! 8 months has FLOWN by and the deadline for getting on the calendar for a Groupon purchased session is this coming Saturday, January 28th! You have until February 28th to complete your session, but remember, you have to book that session at least 30 days in advance which is this coming Saturday.
I’ve made my calendar as available as I possibly could for all my Groupon clients that have waited until the last minute (that’s normal I’m told by Groupon!) so take a peek at the availability calendar on my website and then fill out the “Book Your Session” form to get started booking your session.

Can’t wait to meet you Groupon Clients!
And because I can’t post without an image, here’s a recent maternity image that I love.

Its been so long. So so long. I have lots and lots of sessions to add, but I thought I’d start with one of my favorite families, and their new baby boy. They decorated his room country western style and brought in the saddle and boots to use as a prop. Although we tried and tried to set the saddle shot up differently, he just wasn’t having it, so I improvised and we went with the swaddle, and that worked great! I’m thrilled with how it came out (and just so no one tries that at home, we have his dad holding him the whole time, and I composited two images together for the final shot).

Pre-purchase a collection from a regular session and we will waive your session fee. That’s right, $125 savings! This special can be used for any type of session except newborns and headshots (sorry!)
You can check out all that is included in a collection HERE.

Ok, this will be a popular hour. If you have completed a session in the past with me (be it a mini session, a regular session, a newborn session, even a Groupon session) you can purchase a digital image (sized 5×7 full resolution) from your past session for just $50 each. ONE HOUR ONLY from 11 am to 12 pm today. Your files will be emailed to your preferred email address.
I know, you are thinking “well didn’t she purge all my unpurchased files 10 days after the session”? Well the answer is maybe. I’ve gotten behind and still have most of this year available on back up drives so check with me. I may be able to put up a quick online gallery for you to peek through your past session and choose one or several from the gallery. These would be PERFECT for doing your own Holiday Cards or giving as gifts to family members.
And just one little disclaimer… this hourly special applies to all sessions that have completed their sessions and ordered already. Pending orders excluded.
