Christmas Cards 2010

I have been so busy this season designing Christmas cards that I haven't had a chance to post any of them!!  I have designed a set for a very special family that I want to share and there are a couple more designs in the works that I will share in the next couple of days! 
Quick disclaimer~ the photos in the card example are just a quick couple of my kids, the family wanted their cards to be a surprise to their family and friends!

There are so many more designs and I will be posting them as I finish resizing them!  Between shooting the mini-sessions and designing I just haven't had much time for posting!

Time is running out to get card orders in and I only have 3 mini-session slots left open so if you are wanting to get in on the Christmas Card special be sure to give me a call!  Otherwise I will see you after the first of the year!!!

Holy Pumpkin Guts, Batman!!

I love this time of year~ I may have mentioned that 2 or 3 hundred times lately, but I really  really do! It inspires me~ all the gorgeous colors and the cool weather just makes me so happy and inspires me.  One of my favorite things in the fall is the smell of a campfire and I was lucky enough this year to have had my fantastic hubby make me this amazing fire pit!!!!  Sooo, after we carved pumpkins last night we had the inaugural fire in the fire pit and roasted WAY more marshmallows than we should have!!  What a blast!
SO, I thought I'd share some pumpkin fun:

And how could I sign off without showing off my most awesome fire pit?!?!?.....

Oh, one last thing ~ I have some really cute new customizable templates just waiting to have the perfect pictures !!  Here are a couple of samples~

Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Perfect Football Weather!!

I love fall!  The cool crisp mornings and the gorgeous not-blistering afternoons!  We were so enjoying the  weather last weekend and I decided to snap some pics of my kids just being them~ so many times I get caught up in creating the perfect setting and thinking of everything as a shoot that I forget to just have fun.  We had a blast!!

I love my life!

Big Brown Eyes and Kissable Cheeks

I had the best time with this little one out at the new and improved Holland Lake Park!  There are some really great spaces out there and I think we explored all of them.  I thought I'd share some of my favorites of the day~  I hope you enjoy them half as much as I enjoyed taking them!!

I couldn't believe how well behaved he was and he had such a great attention span for such a little guy. His brown eyes were just sparkling with curiosity and joy ~ we had a ball throwing sticks and then he decided to go on an ant stomping spree....what fun!

I love my job!

Happy Mother's Day !!

Happy Mother's Day!  First to my mom~ the greatest mom I could ask for and an unstoppable bundle of energy!  Second to all of my amazing friends who are moms~ I am so thankful to have all of you in my lives and to be able to learn from your lives as well as from your kids!!

To a great mom that I met the other day~ Happy Mother's Day Stephanie!!  Here is a quick peek at some of the pictures of your super handsome baby boy!!  He was such a pleasure to photograph~ I hope to have the opportunity to hang out with y'all again!

I love my job!!

Spring Presents!!!

Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since I have last blogged! Bad bad bad me. Time flies!

I also can't believe it is Spring~ I am so looking forward to the longer (and warmer!) days. The grass is so green thanks to all the rain and the flowers are getting ready to bloom~ this has to be my all-time favorite time of the year to take pictures outside (go figure :)) In honor of Spring, all sessions booked on or before April 30 will receive as a gift a gorgeous Accordion Mini-Album~ actually you will receive 3, one to keep for yourself and two for friends, grandparents, etc. These little albums are the perfect "take along" size to show off your adorable little ones or your beautiful family anytime! This is an example of the Accordion Mini:

Of course these minis are completely customizable with over 25 options for cover colors and each page will be customized for your pictures. I love these minis so much I just had to share!!

I also wanted to remind you not to forget the furry members of your family~ no, not him... your pets!! I love photographing animals ~ they are always so much fun and there is NEVER a dull moment with them! From dogs to parakeets, llamas to horses, I love to capture your favorite animal's spirit in a photograph that will surely become a cherished memory!

On that note I will leave you with a few pets that I have been lucky enough to photograph...

I really really love my job!!
