Hey Look! It's Us!

A bit embarassing, but we had not had a family photo taken since the birth of my daughter...er, almost 2 years ago! So we caught up with the sweet Aimee Bickers from Pure Expressions Photography to have us a little session. I had a quick minute last night to finally browse the CD, and edited one of my most favorite images of the 3 of us. I thought I'd share it with you all!

P.S. I dressed us using principles from my new "what to wear" guide, and I think we looked great!

Mommy's Day Special!

Alright all, pay attention, because this is a quick one! I am so excited to share these with you.



These photo necklaces are FANTASTIC, and I cannot tell you how many compliments I receive on mine! Made with sterling silver accents, these are a wonderful way to showcase (and show off!) your little darling(s). I have the following shapes available: oval, square, rectangle, circle and heart.

The details:
$65 or 2 for $100
You can place your order until the 25th of April.
All of my 2008/2009 customers are elligible to order a necklace (yay!).
You are ordering a pendant only, no chain will be included.
They will be presented on a ribbon in a gift box.
Arrangement of the photo and charm will be left to the discretion of the photographer.

Please contact me if you would like to have a multiple charm arrangement (ie, you have 3 children and want individual charms for each).

It's a Girl!

The mystery baby in the belly in this post is a girl!

Sweet little thing was such a good subject! Her big brother did a great job too! Looking forward to seeing them both grow this year, I love photographing clients as they change. :)

Enjoy your tiny sneak peek...more to come I'm sure!

Trying out something new

Playing around with some new branding...what do you think? I'm open to suggestions! :)

One more...just 'cause

So sweet, I couldn't resist!

Perfectly Said

In general, I think that a lot of people don't understand why people are drawn to custom photography. It's an experience...a total package. Your final prints are something to be truly treasured, and that reflect your family; the personalities, the quirks, those special moments, and those unique things that only you see (like that soft side to your "tough guy").

But why does it have to be so expensive? There is certainly an answer! It is summed up perfectly by a talented "colleague" (I put that term in quotes because I have not met her, nor is she local, but I know her work from forums and photography related groups that I frequent. Her name is Marianne Drenth of Marmalade Photoraphy She wrote a compelling bit to educate her clients (and the rest of the internet!) on why custom photography is just that. You can read it by clicking here.

If you have time, take a gander at her site too! She's got some really fantastic eye candy!

Yours Truly

Hubby taking silly pictures with my phone in the mall the other day. Thought I'd post for you all to laugh at! :)


I've got some really cool new What to Wear guides to help get you prepped for your session. I'm so excited about these!

I also have a KILLER Mother's Day special that I will be announcing toward the end of March. You won't want to miss it!

Bookings are now up to April (minus that newborn I'm waiting on!). Spring weather will be here before we know it!

Cute little bug!

This little chickadee was such a good girl for me this past weekend. Not to mention she had the cutest clothes, and that hair! This baby was in THIS belly. Remember that cool tatoo?! So fun to see my clients' families grow!

LIVE! At last!

Thank Goodness!

It's been almost 2 weeks of technical difficulties, snags and frustration, but it's live! Yippee! The shabbiness to come (soon) along with a shopping cart checkout for your ordering pleasure. I've got lots of new product photos that I'll be uploading soon, but I've updated the pricing sheet, so go check it out!

Fun New Items!

Yippee!
I love new stuff! This is a really great flip book for baby and belly sessions. Maternity on one side, newborn on the other. In a perfect size with a soft cover. This preview is "unfinished" because this little babe hasn't made his or her appearance yet (soon though, and I can't wait!). I just wanted to show it off...I lurve it!

Update!

After a few technical difficulties, the new site is *hopefully* on its way to being fully functional! It has a few things left that I need to finish up, but is so fun and has lots of new images for you to ogle. I am not sure if email is working, so if you're trying to email me with no response, give me a call.

Downtime...

I'll be switching hosting over to the new provider for my new site this evening. It is possible that I'll have some downtime with email and the website. Again, if you have any urgent needs, please feel free to call (within sane hours please!).

See you on the fresh site! (with a tad bit of tweaking left!)
