Two posts in one day! WOW, I am getting good at my work flow and I mean that in the best light possible. I am figuring out what works for me and how to edit a sneak peek in record time so you can all enjoy these images moments after they are captured b/c that is what life is all about… capturing and preserving moments in time and then enjoying them for a lifetime. This is why I love my job! I love preserving these precious moments. The ones I love to capture of my own family (we may not be dressed up and looking our best all the time but that doesn’t stop the big black camera from coming out daily… hence the fact my children don’t like photo shoots with me… they have them all the time).

This little gal will light up your evening, day or morning (whenever you are reading this). She was so fun to capture AGAIN! I started taking her pictures when she was three months old and 6 sessions later here she is again to grace the blog. I love it when she does b/c that means I got to spend an hour with another one of my favorite families. I love sharing life with these two (and the little one)!

Enjoy a few of my favorites and a few more HERE!! I am looking forward to our next session when she is 3 or close too it (if we do a fall session instead of winter). Yes, I know what it’s like to have a Jan. baby and I do (the real sessions) other months than Jan b/c of the cold factor and seeing a little green or a little orange is better than a little brown somtimes. You may beg to differ but changing it up a bit is okay b/c the moments will still be captured and a few weeks doesn’t change your child that much (unless they are in those first months when they are growing like weeds!!).

ENJOY!!

It was cold. She is THREE. She had to wear the pink shirt she wore for this morning’s session for this afternoons (even though I had an entirely different shirt for the second outfit). You don’t argue with a three year old when you want a picture without red eyes and a runny nose. You give in even though you are the mom and let her wear the pink shirt and you give her Hershey’s kisses by the bag and white mints to make her even want to get in front of the camera. A bow made it to her head and stayed in (she is not a fan of having anything in her hair). No, we did not spend the entire day taking pictures (even though it felt like it). We spent minutes this morning b/c she wasn’t’ into it (I AM HER MOM and playing games in the cold isn’t her idea of fun and making leaf hats in the cold wasn’t her idea of fun and she kept looking at me like who are you and where is my mom) and a good 15 min this afternoon after her much needed LONG nap AND we got THESE AMAZING IMAGES!! amen. life is good.

This was my day in a nutshell. These are the images. I LOVE my job. I love what I do BUT I see why people hire photographers. Which I may have to do one day. My kids know me but they would rather have me hold their hand, hug them while we are trying to get a picture, kiss me in the middle of a session. They don’t want to run away from me and have fun, they want to be ON me or hugging me.

Enjoy the images!! I know I am biased but she is one cutie patootie and I love every bit of her and even though it was like pulling teeth today the results are amazing and my little spitfire did a GREAT job!
I have 4 sessions coming up this weekend so stay tuned for some more fun stuff!

My little gal turned 3 yesterday and we had her parties this weekend. One of my favorite people photographed the “kid” party for me and I see why people hire photographers to capture birthday parties! I always thought since I was a photographer I could do it myself but let me tell you it’s so much EASIER to hire someone!! I was able to run the show with my hubby and enjoy the party. Thank you Sarah for being one of my favorite people and for taking amazing images of Miss “K”. Here are a couple of my favorites!! We had a party with 17 little people running around the house. It was so fun! She had a blast and I am just in awe that she is 3. Time flies so fast.

As you have noticed I have been on a little vacation but my break is coming to an end here soon. I have two sessions this weekend. A little guy who turns one, his family and an engagement session! I have really enjoyed my time off but am looking forward to a great year and lots of fun sessions. I am back and will be sharing lots of fun images and info so see you around.

Oh, if you haven’t noticed my new brand and blog are here too! I love my new look. My new business cards just came and they are great and I am updating my website a bit too. There is one fun thing about my new blog. If you comment and I get more than 5 comments in a row they will start to scroll! SO comment away if you see something you like, want to say hi or just want to leave me a few words! I would love to see how the comment section works.
