Holiday portraits

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Two precious little ladies and their parents stopped by last Saturday to create some holiday portraits. I met this family last June when they brought the oldest girl in for our tots model search. My how time flies! Here are my favorite images from the session.

Believing in a baby blessing

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I have been fortunate to meet so many happy couples getting ready to welcome their little ones into the world this year. This couple’s story is esp humbling and I plan to share the whole story with you after they welcome the new little one into their lives. Here are some images from the session…

Boys will be boys

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I met this family a few years ago, when the youngest was just celebrating his one year birthday,  how time files. For this session they brought in “buddy” their family pet to hang out with us, he was one of the best dogs I’ve ever worked with. It was a pretty nice day last Saturday and so after images in the studio we took a walk around our property. The boys even took a few minutes to climb one of our two apple trees.

Artist Choice: When selecting an image for  wall portrait, I would select something like this with the youngest running to the family. It will not age quickly and it shows a cute little story.

Some of the things I am thankful for this year,  there are many many more….

Strangers who smile, it’s something so simple
My Mom, for far too many things to list
Mentors, I am blessed to have many
Foot rubs, there are never enough
Health, & doctors & nurses who bring babies into the world each day
Visits from old friends
Contacts & glasses
Photoshop Actions
Bouncy chairs
Hosanna Lutheran, and how they show God’s love to everyone
My dad, I had no idea how smart/handy he was until I bought a home…with broken things
My husband, who would be at the top if this list was in order, for his patience with me
Cousins, you know who you are!
Random notes from clients, from the the heart
Photography, there’s no greater profession
Sharpie markers & BFF’s who understand why!
