Month: October 2007

Ok, I just LOVE doing shots like these. It’s all about the extras. You have to hunt down cool locations, add something funky like bright clothes, tutu’s, jackets, etc…, and throw in some rusted-out textured backgrounds. LOVE IT!! Anyway, just so we’re clear — THE KIDDOS ARE NOT CHAINED DOWN; THEY ARE HOLDING THE CHAIN(you know clanging it against the building and pulling on it)! My silly husband was like, “Is he chained to that thing?” I mean really honey, I like to say I go the distance for the perfect shot, but, no, I wouldn’t chain our son in place. WINK WINK:)!

I went out with some photographer friends of mine to do some of our kids pictures and it was lots of fun. We did have full, bright sun to deal with, but whatta ya do? Sorry, I know there’s tons of pics and I should break it down by kid, but I’m so behind on adding photoshoot sneak peeks that I’ve just got to get these all in.

PS. If you’re waiting for a sneak peek I’m working on them. I’ll have last Thursday’s shoot on here by tomorrow, and then the weekend shoots on here after that. Thanks for being patient with me.

I know I’ve had these holiday card samples on my to-do list forEVER, and it feels great to have them finally done. They are all 5×7 and come with envelopes.

Order of 50 cards – $55
Each increment of 25 cards over 50 is $22 a set

Here’s a sneak peek for Jen, “C” with an I, and family:) I know you were stressing when the kids were having “issues” with one another, but that’s soooooo normal. Hope you enjoy!

Here’s a sneak peek for Ms. L and her mom. I had a blast shooting these pics…they just scream “easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl” to me. She is so pretty and extremely photogenic. Thanks for being so fun!

I really love this one. Caught a natural moment between them.




Here’s a sneak peak for this great family. The 7-year-old was such a help, while the little one had her own agenda of what we should be doing:) I was so afraid I wouldn’t end up with any pictures of her, but did manage to get some. Here you go Liessa.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

I finally ordered a canvas for myself and really love the way it came out. Couldn’t decide on any one picture so I made a collage of pics with a poem. The one image is how it looked when I ordered it, and the one hanging on the wall is the final product. I had them do a black border along the sides because it is a stretched canvas that is ready to hang when you get it. Love it!

here you go girls, I know you want to see one with your sweet dog.

These were some of the crazier ones. Snapped the one of mom getting her out of the tree just for fun and love the way it came out…just the girls having fun.



Here’s a sneak peak of a super-fun shoot recently. These girls were so easy-going and up for anything including dancing, tree-climbing, and doggie kisses. And even going to a field of wild weeds that I had been eyeing for a while. Thanks for being so fun to work with girls! You too, Snowball. Enjoy!

It was such a beautiful day at the beach. Glorious low-humid days are few and far between but this day was just perfect. We had to deal with the sun still being pretty bright, but overall, we had a good time with these. (click on image for better view)And how adorable are these kids??!!

Started out with a weekend full of 3 photoshoots, a breast cancer walk/run event, and a Saturday full of softball games for the girls. Needless to say, I backed out of the walk/run due to the craziness of fitting it all in and then 1 shoot re-scheduled and the other 2 were rained out! I hate that…especially, when I’m all revved up about everything. So anyway, I was really itching to get the camera out and luckily my younger daughter was ACTUALLY agreeable. It has been a long time since it has been her idea and you’d better believe I jumped on it (although I was playing it real cool trying not to let her know how much I wanted to get pics of her in a dress that I’ve been saving for just this situation). She loved the dress I pulled out, and what is even more of a bonus is that I didn’t have to use the bead jewelry set that I was saving to bribe her with, Ha!

So, here’s some of those pics…I know there’s lots of fake smiles, squints, distracting elements, etc…. but you gotta get what you can get with this extremely stubborn 5-year-old:)

Have a great day!

Hey guys, here’s a sneak peek. Hope you enjoy, he’s such a sweetie! (Click on image to view better)
