  • Three-Year-Old Friends

    These three have been friends since birth because their moms met in an online expectant moms group. It was really neat to hear the story of how the group has all stayed close. They do playdates, go to each others birthday parties, and some even travel from out of state to visit with their friends. When I met up with them for the photo session one of the little girls had just turned 3, it was the little boys actual 3rd birthday and the other little girl would turn 3 the next week…all born within weeks of each other.

    It took a little while for them to warm up but eventually they did. Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek:)


    There was quite a lot of funny bootie talk going on with this picture!

  • Birthday Boys

    These cute boys share the same birthday month so we knocked out some one-year-old pictures and some 3-year pictures for Mr. Speedy and his lil’ brother. When I did Mr. K’s one-year pics I dubbed him Mr. Speedy because he’s one of the fastest little clients I’ve had to chase after. And even though I’m relieved to say his little brother isn’t as speedy he sure is busy! The highlight of the evening was digging into their cake together!

  • Brothers, Green Grass and Football

    This is one of my favorite locations in the winter because there is a large section of green (and I mean GREEN) grass. It’s so green that I actually have to tone it down on the computer because most viewers would think “Wow, she really over-saturated that green grass”! This family was wonderful! The boys were so good natured for photos and we even played around with their football at the end. I loved seeing their playful brotherly love and rivalry over their parents and the ball! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:)

  • R.P.

    Reverse psychology. I figured out pretty quickly that this little guy would do just about anything if I told him not to. I’d say “Don’t you dare go sit in my green chair” and he would immediately go do just that. It worked the entire time. Well, the entire time except when he was running like a little football player. He was fast and had his parents running after him quite a few times.

    He loved playing with his dad.

    And he loved snuggling up to his mom.

    And throwing leaves at his dad AND me. The more I told him not to the more excited he became:)

    Try and catch me.

    Can’t get me.

    Starting to get worn out so it was time to snuggle with mom again.

  • 10 on almost Tuesday

    1. I’m having a hard time jumping back into work after having some much-needed time to slow down. Can you tell? I know the blog has been the first to be neglected.
    2. I picked up the kids from school last week and Drew tells me that they had learned about the letter “W” that day. So, I ask him what words start with w. His answer, “D”. What? I was puzzled with this answer so I asked again. No, what words start with w? His answer again is “D”. AND then it dawned on me. He thought that I was asking what letter does “W” start with. And sure enough if you spelled out dub-a-you it would start with a “D”.
    3. So, then I realize that I had never thought about spelling out a letter. And I went through the alphabet to see if I could spell out any other letters:) I’ll bet Drew could tell me.
    4. I’ve spent the last several days doing some online photography learning. There is always so much more to learn…it’s never-ending!!
    5. Even though I’ve had a hard time making myself work I have actually been working on my new website….THAT I PURCHASED DECEMBER 2009.
    6. Pathetic, right?
    7. Followed this blog from another photographer’s blog and am so glad I did. She makes me want to step outside of my comfort zone and have bigger dreams and go for them! Very inspiring read
    8. We do a lot of things with several families that live on our street. We mostly have parties in our cul-de-sac but sometimes the women have been known to have girls night out without the men. Sometimes there is an eencie,weencie tiny bit of complaining from the men so we always encourage that they too have a guys night out. I think the women have had 4 or 5 GNO while the men haven’t done any. So, this past Saturday the men decide to go eat New York style pizza and to a hockey game. The women and kids hang out together while they’re gone. One of the husbands texts around 10:00 that they are headed back. After they’re not back 45 minutes later we figure they must have found somewhere else to go and we find out that they stopped at a local bar/hangout that we’ll just kindly say “looks a little rough”. We joked that they were probably exhausted but there was no way that on their first ever GNO that they would come home at a measly 10 o’clock on a Saturday night. We also joked that even though they’ve ventured into a GNO that there is no way they’ll ever catch up to us on the number of outings because 1) we’re women and we do that sort of thing to recharge and have a bit of sanity and 2) they don’t have a good organizer in the group that will get them going out regularly. So, they stay at this hangout for a couple of hours and whilst there one of them who after a few, ahem, drinks always brings out his mad dancing skills. He decides to do a little break dancing and a woman that walks out of the bathroom sees him and decides that she has a little break dancing in her. They actually have a break dancing duel…right then and there in a walkway of a rather “rough” establishment. And that’s when I decided that their GNO was a success.
    9. Drew loves to try and break dance. Now that our neighbor friend has dueled a woman at a bar I’ll see if he wants to duel a 5-year old:)
    10. And now I’m really craving some New York style pizza.

  • Mini Sessions #5

    Also friends/neighbors of ours that I get to photograph every year. Drew loves to play with their son and the girls love to pamper their little girl. Last year at their session I snapped an action shot that I loved and this year (the last picture on the sneak peek) we got another action shot that I’m loving. The family is playing Ring Around the Rosy…you have to look close but Little Miss P’s stuffed baby is even included.

  • Mini Session #4

    Wonderful family that I was excited to meet. The mom had emailed me about the mini sessions when I first posted info about them and wrote me the kindest words ever. They drove quite a ways for their session and the dad was a trooper (even if he didn’t get to fish after that long of a drive:):)) Thanks again…it was great to meet you!


    And the infamous chicken made a visit during this session.

  • Mini Session #3

    She was really shy at first but perked up and then was on the move the rest of the time. Lots of big smiles! Mom mentioned that she loves b&w’s so here you go:)

  • Mini Session #2

    These are the kids of our friends/neighbors and our kids play together quite a lot. The day I picked up these tires I was with their mom and actually in her vehicle. I owed them a tire shoot:)

  • November Mini Sessions – #1

    This is a really good friend of mine and her family. They did their session first and then she stayed and helped me the rest of the day. So, a few days later I have her come over to look over her pictures to pick the ones she wanted me to edit and all I can say is I’m glad that I don’t do in-person picture viewing. It was hilarious how she picked apart smiles, non-smiles, teeth, shoes, eyes, hair, clothes, etc…………..! I know it’s hard to look at yourself in pictures but oh. my. goodness!!! I thought they looked great and just think, in ten years you’ll probably think you didn’t look so bad after all. Luv ya girl (with your forced smile and all:):)
