Big Bang Deal!

{ A Family }

This was such a fun session! I was at home in Louisiana for the Thanksgiving holidays and I was able to schedule a shoot with an old friend. She and I were teammates on my highschool softball team. It had been FOREVER since we had seen each other, so it was so great getting to reconnect and get to meet her family. What a beautiful family they are!

I had such a fun time! The whole session was on my parent's land out in the country. The light was great and the boys had a blast exploring. Sorry, I got them a little dirty......boys will be boys though, right?

Look who is ONE!

I have no idea where the year went, but it sure went by fast! I can't believe this little man is ONE! He's already walking...fast! Mom and Dad certainly have their hands full. I have so enjoyed watching this little guy grow up this year. He was my very first "Baby's 1st Year" client and I've had such a great time being a part of each milestone.

Happy Birthday Skyler!!!

Finally!.....a little cooperation!

Why is is so hard to get your own kids to cooperate for pictures? I went out a month ago and took my annual pics of my kids + my nephews and got great shots....well, great shots of most of them I should say. My son....he didn't cooperate that day. So, today we had our own little mini shoot outside before the girls got home from school. I bribed him with, "Wanna go for a walk with me?".....he was putty in my hands after that. I am so pleased with how they turned out. We had lots of fun together walking, playing airplane on my feet and tackling each other. I LOVE my little man!

Details, details, details!

Details are crucial...at least in my world! I have just a strong a passion for the detail of my work as I do my photography itself. I truly believe that how you present your work to your client is just as important as your images. I believe and treat each one of my images as a piece of art. I remind myself of this as I shoot, edit and package. It is just one more detail that I don't want to overlook. I think it says alot about my style and passion for what I do!

Here is a little sneak peek of how my new packaging will look! So excited!!!

Fresh and New

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last posting. I've taken a few weeks to do some re-evaluating and revamping. After I returned from Amy Wenzel's fabulous workshop back in September I had so much going on in my head. It has taken me some time to get some things on paper, order new products, design a new look, etc. I think I'm getting close. :)

I definitely can say I came back inspired and full of new information about how to run a successful photography business. It was up to me to get the ball rolling and step out on a limb (a very shaky and unsteady limb) in order to start establishing my vision for my business. It has been a very hard, but beneficial 2 years. I've learned alot, and I continue to learn, but I refuse to give up! I LOVE what I do. It is my passion!

So, with all that said, I want to share with you some "new".

Below is a new product I have recently started to offer. It is an Accordian Book. It is a beautiful piece that measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and can display up to 12 images. It is perfect for a travel size album that can easily fit in your purse, but it can also be displayed on a shelf or desk. I LOVE these books and have purchased some for my own personal images.

Plus, they are perfect for the holidays! Stocking stuffer anyone? Previous clients, let me know if you are interested in having one made from your recent sessions!

Fall Family Portraits

It's that time of year! Time to schedule those Fall Family portraits that we all have to have! I finally took some time and did some for my own family this week. I'm so glad I did, because I LOVE how they turned out, and I know the grandparents will love them even more!

If you've been postponing Family portraits because you've just been too busy or can't find time to fit it in your schedule...don't let that be an excuse. I would love to work with you and find the best time and location for your family's portraits.

I'm offering a discount for 25% off your session price for anyone that books a session with me before October 31st! Call today!

Amy Wenzel is AMAZING!!!

Wow! What an amazing weekend I had at Amy Wenzel's Photography Workshop! I don't even know where to start. I traveled to Michigan earlier in the summer to attend the workshop, but as you know, her husband was diagnosed with a Brain tumor the very evening we arrived. This was the much-anticipated postponed/rescheduled event!

I met up with my good friend, Kristen again in Michigan, and we had a fantastic time! There is sooo much information floating around in my head at the moment. I'm hoping that it somehow continues to absorb so that I don't forget a thing.

I've been so excited to edit and post some of my favorite images I took from our afternoon of shooting. The models were pretty impressive. I mean, the oldest was 9 and they all seemed to be naturals. Can you imagine being a kid and having 20 crazy photographers coming at you with their cameras, yelling at you and telling you how to turn your head? Kinda intimidating, don't ya think?

Amy, if by chance you read this.....YOU ROCK! I learned so much and loved getting to hang with you for a few days! Thanks again!

Tell me it isn't true!

Summer has come and gone. Today was the last day of summer for us all. :( No more running in the yard barefoot, or playing in the sprinkler....it's really gone. How do I know this? Well, because it SNOWED today!

Time to dust off those snow boots and grab a cute hat, because it's Fall! And well, in Colorado that means snow.

Here's a fun summer pic I took of my little Em a few weeks ago.
