All for me...

Because I can take pictures for my own enjoyment too! :) This fence at my mom's house is so cool. I had a vision in my head for this shot, and it looks pretty close! The only thing that would have made it perfect is turning fall leaves. Maybe in another couple of weeks we'll try again (wink, wink!). And MAYBE it'll be cool enough for a sweater...and jeans! How fall-ish! Go figure!

This one has a special treatment on it. Called a tilt shift (which is a band of selective focus on a special lens) and it also has some texture added to it...makes it kind of look like a painting!

Holiday Deadlines

I know that in the "real" world (ie, not the photography world!) you all will not need to start thinking about the Holidays until after Halloween. However, this is the busiest time for many photographers, and the labs that serve them.

In order to have your order guaranteed by Christmas, your session MUST be completed by the 17th of November, with orders filed by the 30th of November. I have just a handful of sessions left within that timeframe! So if you've been dragging your feet thinking about sessions to give as gifts, drag no more!

One More!

Ok, couldn't resist one more :) Color this time for these cuties.

And Baby Makes...Five!

Had a fun maternity session today! Such a fun and laid back family, it shows in their photos.

Can I just say that I think that I photograph the most stunning children! :)

I guess I am in a color mood tonight...so here's your sneak peek J, F, C, C, and wee little baby girl!


The girly girl...

Handsome little devil! Look out preschool girls! (he already has a girlfriend ladies!

And the gorgeous momma! :)

Sneak Peek for B and "Big E"

Tee Hee!

I had so much fun with these two nuts! They are seriously cute stuff. Their momma and I were laughing the entire time. Thanks guys! :)

The Big Brother


The Little Brother

All. Mine.

Just a little somethin' to tide you over until I get this weekend's sneak peeks up! :)

oh. my. goodness.

Have you ever seen an image, or collection of images (or I suppose, pair of shoes, or purse!) that just makes you stop, take a breath and say WOW.

This past week was the wedding of weddings in the photography world. I happened to stumble across some images from both of the ladies who shot the wedding of Gary Fong and to say the least, I was captivated. They are simply stunning, moving and inspiring! Almost makes me want to shoot weddings...almost.

But that's not where my heart lies. My passion is for the kiddos and their families. I love producing images that make you say "Oh! THAT is my baby! That is exactly how he is!" I love capturing your love, your joy, your happiness, your sparkle.

So my answer for those who ask me, "Why don't you shoot weddings? You could make so much money?" I have my answer, "because I love what I do".

And that's all that matters.

Shabby Chic!

So the shabby look has spread (like wildfire) to the photography world. It's kind of fun! Not every image calls for vintage-ing, but I love the look of this one. Please let me know if you're interested in the vintage look! :) Click on this one to really see the texturing!

Fun With Canvases

Some fun new options for your canvases! I'll post details on the product blog, but here's a little peek of one I just ordered.

A & J Sneak Peek!

OK, working hard to crank these babies out! Here's 2 from Sunday's session. It was hot, hot, hot! This little guy was a trooper though, even though the adults were all sweaty.

Just one more

In color this time!

Sneak Peek for S & J!

I'm about halfway through this session, but this image stood out to me and screamed sneak peek! I'll post another tomorrow :)

Enjoy!
