Racing Raindrops preview

Today I met with an awesome family for a fall session. We were racing the raindrops to get the photos done, but everybody was a trooper. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Here is one of my favorites to hold you over until I finish editing the rest of your session:

The gift of giving

I know it is early to start thinking about your Holiday shopping, but it is never too early to give a gift. Especially the gift of memories.

This week, I have a challenge for you: think of somebody who needs a special hug. A little pick me up, an extra smile, to know they are being thought of. Then send me an email telling me about them & why they might benefit from a free photography session.

On September 24th, I will select one of the submissions and give them a free session with $100 in free prints. A great way to make them smile – and I will capture it for them.

And for everybody who submits an entry, you will receive an extra $25 in prints on your next session this fall or spring. If you give, you shall receive as well. A gift for giving.

So think of your friends or family and give them an early holiday gift. Emails must be received by me no later than 11:59pm CST on September 23, 2011.

Fall Sessions

Summer is quickly winding down and fall is almost here. Fall is a great time for those back to school photos, getting those beautiful colors, and even thinking about Christmas cards! My fall weekends are filling quickly, so if you are hoping to book a photography session for this year, now is the time!



Contact me today to reserve your date.

Father's Day

I just want to wish all those wonderful Daddies out there a Happy Father's Day!
I hope you all enjoyed some special time with those important men in your life.

My wonderful husband (and a great daddy to our monkies!) took this shot of me with my Daddy today. Love you both!

Birthday Special

So, I have been MIA for a while. Sorry. Life gets crazy in spring around here.
My little dude just turned 3 Memorial Day weekend. And today my baby girl turned 7! I can't believe how fast these years are flying by.
To celebrate, I want to offer a birthday special. Book a session for this summer and get a free 8x10 frame from The Organic Bloom. Your choice in shape and color! (A $65 value!)
They are beautiful, hand crafted, custom made frames. Ask me more about them - they are a perfect complement to your beautiful photos!



Hurry, though! You must contact me to book the session before June 18th.

Happy Birthday to my babies!

Baby E Preview

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy a few days ago. He is so tiny and sweet. Mommy and daddy just adore him - and honestly, I did too. Here is a sneak-peek of him.

52.11

My sister left me. Her husband is in the military and they are now stationed overseas, so she left me. I have a big problem with that for a lot of reasons. One of them being she is my hair stylist. She started cutting my hair when she was just 9 years old...and nobody else has cut my hair since. And nobody besides her has ever cut the hair of my children, either. But my sister won't be back for 3 years...and while *I* might be able to just grow my hair out, I don't think my little dude can do that for 3 years. So I had to have somebody else cut his hair. I found a cute litte 'old fashioned' barber shop in town, so I took B there. The owner was so sweet and did so well with him. I guess we will survive without my sister for a litte bit.

52.7, 52.8, 52.9, 52.10

I am really bad about updating my blog. I appologize for that.
So I guess I have missed the last 3 weeks, plus now this weeks post...that makes 4 weeks of my 52 project I need to update you on. Eeek!

52.7: My daughter at swim lessons. What is even better than her swimming so well is that I know her swim coach because I used to teach her when she was little!


52.8: Girl Scout cookie time! We spent a bunch of time sorting out those 137 boxes of cookies.


52.9: Snuggles with Daddy. These are some of my favorite memories.


52.10: Today was the last game of the season for my daughter's basketball team. She has improved SOOO much over the season, but had yet to make a basket. The ref was so sweet, and decided to help her out. She can now say she is the only one to make a slam dunk!


I promise to try to be better at posting. Hopefully as spring is approaching I will feel more motivated to share all the beautiful photos.

52.6

I realized I forgot to post a 52 week project last week, so I am posting a double picture this week.

Both of the kids in school. Little dude is in a mommy & me preschool class once a week. They were painting tire tracks with trucks, which he LOVED. We may need to try it at home, too!
I help in my princess's class every week, too. They were getting ready to practice their spelling words. She always seems so serious in class.
