Coming Up....

A super fun session with a wonderful couple. More to come...

What I've been up to....

So, I haven't been the best at blogging lately. I promise I will be better in the new year, so don't give up on me! I've got some exciting new changes coming for 2010:)

I just wanted to share what I have been up to. 'Tis the season for family photos and Christmas cards!!!

I'm loving this one!

Oh My Cuteness.... Part Two!!!

Hey Momma Wilson!... had to post one of your cute little princess, too! Wish I had time to post all of them! You really had a great session and with SOOOO many fun images!

Oh My Cuteness!!!

I just HAD to post this while I am working on these pictures. Don't you want to just eat him up?!?

FOR SALE

This is a photo that I took back in 2003 in Innsbrook Austria. I have had it printed on canvas and stretched so it needs no frame. It is a 30x30 print, a very nice size for most walls. It has been hanging in my home for several years and now it needs a new home. It just doesn't work in my new color scheme I've got going in my kitchen/family groom, so I figured rather than let it be lonely in the cold storage... I would let it go to a good home:)

This print's value is around $400, but I am willing to part with it @$200 (or bring in your offer) because I have had it for so many years and I've been enjoying it for that long!

Let me know if you are interested.

Oh, and once this one is sold. I can still make more prints of it if anyone is interested in buying a brand new one. If you're interested in seeing my old collection of home decor prints, email me and I'll send you samples. Prints start at $350.

Another Sweet Baby...

This little angel wanted nothing to do with the camera and the props, although we finally did get her to sleep for a bit. All she wanted was her mommy. Can you blame her? So we got a lot of mommy and baby images that I seriously think are WAY more precious than any posed picture with props! Hope you like these Mandi!

Super Fun Family

I've been a bad blogger lately and it's really sad because I have so many fun sessions to show you! I am a little in "catch up" mode, so I can only blog one image for now. At least now you know I still exist!

I LOVE this family! They are returning clients and I seriously could not have asked for an easier shoot. Both kids listened so well... I almost had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming! Thanks for using me again Celeste! Can't wait to show you the rest! (hey, that just rhymed!)

My main editing software has decided to no longer import files into it. NICE :( So, what does this mean? It means I can work on anything until I upgrade it. It has just suddenly decided to not work for me anymore. There you go... right in the middle of the busy season and when I have STACKS of files just sitting there waiting for me to work on them.

For those of you who are waiting for your images, thank you for your patience. I guess it's time me to take a trip to Pictureline and dump a whole load of money for my upgrades to my computer (weep and wail!) It's fun to have the upgrades, but not so fun to spend the hundreds of dollars!!!

More of Miss "Personality"...

No words are necessary...

Baptism

So this little stud participated in my portfolio sessions and we had such a blast! You will get to see those images in a little while.

But for now, check out these! Before his session, his mom asked if I could shoot a few of him in his church clothes for his upcoming baptism. I was happy to do so! I LOVE how these turned out! Good job Mr. "C"... you look "studly" (I used that term a lot during the session and he thought that was such a funny word, or maybe that I was just a little odd :)

Little Miss Personality...

K- seriously, this girl has sooo much personality! We had a blast with her photo shoot (I have so many pictures of her laughing hysterically!) Gosh... I didn't know I was that funny! So here are a few for her mom who has been patiently waiting! I'll post some more soon, so be on the lookout! She's just too darn cute!

Can I just say I LOVE my job!

I had someone ask me the other day after a photo session if I dreaded going home to sift through the photos and start the editing process. Yes, I admit... parts of it are a little overwhelming to me. And more often than not, I immediately criticize my own work "why didn't I place her arm somewhere else!"... or "dang it, I made the same mistake again!" But, once I get past the initial shock of viewing my photos, I start to see the fun emerge. And when I come across a photo like this one...I almost jump up and down in anticipation to start working on it! (yes... I know, I'm a little cheesy).

Check out this image! Miss "K", you look GORGEOUS!

blogging help...

Does anyone know why blogger takes your images and makes them look fuzzier than they really are? Every time I post, I am highly disappointed in the quality of the image after it is published. It may be hard to see it by just looking at my posts for the first time (with an unbiased eye), but if you could compare them to the REAL image, they definitely do not compare. Oh well, I'm getting a new PROFESSIONAL blog soon, so maybe my troubles will be over then. :) Just wondering if anyone knows any info about this stuff. Thanks.

More of Miss "M", like I promised...

Newborn smiles are the best...

Stunningly Beautiful...

WOW!  These girls are B-E-A-UTIFUL!  Need I say anything more?

  

Bits and Pieces...

Between my baby being fussy and my computer being as SLOW as molasses, I am just having to post 'bits and pieces' from sessions lately.  It is driving me crazy!  This is all I can squeeze out for now Tami, I promise more are coming!!!
