Holiday Mini-Sessions

Holiday mini-sessions are a great way to get a beautiful shot of your family to use for your holiday greeting cards and as gifts for your relatives. Scheduling early will give you plenty of time to order cards in advance and give you more time to enjoy the season!

Sweet Stuff

Yesterday I shot pictures for a friend who is opening a bakery. As you can see, she is mega-talented, it all tastes as good as it looks! (or better) These pics will be on her soon-to-be-launched website. Stay tuned!

She's Golden

This is one of my favorite people - she's enthusiastic, crazy, and so much fun! My nickname for her is TV Gold because if she were on reality tv, she'd be golden. Not only do people love her, but apparently the camera loves her too - out of more than 100 shots, not one of them is bad. We were supposed to just take a serious head shot but her personality kept creeping through! So much fun. We have plans for another shoot with props and costumes, it's gonna be a blast!

JOY! (multiplied)

Our good friends had their babies tonight. Yes, I said babies - they had twin boys! Healthy, sweet, perfect little miracles. It was so special to be there when they arrived. They came a little early so we had to stay behind the glass tonight but hopefully I'll have more pics tomorrow without the window in the way. What a wonderful way to end the day, I'm still smiling =)

The Blog Has Arrived

Well, after a couple of weeks of posting pictures from recent photo shoots my new blog has arrived. It's not everything I want it to be but it will have to do for now. Photography is only a hobby at this point but the perfectionist in me still wants the perfectly designed blog and even a flashy website. There are not enough hours in the day! I hope to update this often with new pics of my friends, family, and others who will let me practice my skills on them. Check back often and feel free to contact me if you want to get together for pictures! (my email address is on the side bar - I've spaced it out to prevent spammers from getting it)
