My dear, sweet, very long time friend Kristen brought Olivia in for a little super session with this cute cape I bought for my guys. Olivia was a sport and let us dress her up. It had been a while since I photographed Olivia and in that time she has grown up so much!!



She also agreed to model my amazing new studio t-shirts. Pretty darn cute, huh? Thanks Kristen and O!

It's back by popular demand! Last year we had a special promotion at the studio called the White Sale. It's a high energy, jam packed and loud few days in the studio. We have a really good time. This year we're doing 2 days in June and 2 days in August and we hope you can come. The sessions are quick and fun and perfect for children about 6 months and up who can sit up on their own. Here's a little sampling of last year's sale.
The sessions will book up quickly so make sure and give the studio a call and book your session asap. The session fee is $150 and includes your 30 minute session and a pack of really cute custom designed note cards (designed using images from your session). We are shooting on four days: June 26th and 27th and August 14th and 15th. Each set of dates includes a Friday and Saturday.
We have some great image collections for you as well. If you scrapbook, you will appreciate our loose print package, The Scrapper's Delight. Complete framed packages start at $435. A la carte selections, canvas packages, digital collections and some really cool new frame choices with all be available. Come one, come all! It's going to be fun!

I recently moved into a new studio, which means I have all new spaces to shoot in. I have been experimenting with new ideas and some new lighting as well while working on finding my way around the new digs. To help with my experiments, I issued a model call a month or so ago and Sofia's Mom gave me a call to volunteer. So, here she is, little Sofia!

Isn't this little tutu the cutest thing?! I had just purchased it so we had to try it out.



My new studio also has beautiful wood floors so that has been new and fun as well.

This little hat is a recent purchase of mine. I bought this amazing gem from Debbie at Posh Props. I put it on her and her Mom and I were instantly (and in unison) saying "Awwww!!". Mom got this series in a frame...how could you resist?

Happy wednesday everyone!

Here is a little sampling of what I do. Seriously, I think I have one of the world's best jobs. Generally speaking, it's like a love explosion here on most days. Yes, we have grunt work and we get stressed out and it can be hard. If I put that stuff aside though and focus on the end product and the reasons why I do what I do, it's just all amazing, mushy, love-filled awesomeness. For me there is nothing more incredible than the genuine sparkle and spirit of children and families. I hope you see a little bit of that in this video, enjoy! (you may need to give the video a few minutes to load up all the way)

I have so much to blog! Today I thought I would grab a few images from some recent sessions and get you guys caught up on the cute faces.





First off is Kris' little girl. I love, love, love the little raised foot! Kris got these 2 images (and one other) framed in these amazing hand painted whimsical frames that we offer. They are going to look so cute! We finally got her frames in last week so she'll be taking them home soon!


A few weeks ago, Rachelle brought her little babe in to see me again. He is one of my First Year Collection babies so I have been taking his picture since before he made his grand appearance. You guys might remember Rachelle's amazing maternity session from an earlier post. Now check him out!

This next little guy is just so lovely...This is Colin. Right at the beginning of the session, he took the single largest poop that I think I have ever seen. His Mom was just in shock. We were just cracking up as we used wipe after wipe trying to get him clean. Then in true baby form, after making a big mess and making lots of noise about it, he crashed out...clean and happy. Hopefully Kellye won't mind me sharing that story with you guys! All the Moms and Dads in the crowd will laugh along with us because it has happened to you too.
Isn't he just beautiful?

Peeking over Mom's shoulder...

That's it for me today, happy Saturday everyone. I hope you are enjoying some time off!
On Monday afternoon, I am going to post a Monday Lesson with tips on creating a wall display at your home. I have several pointers and bits of advice on how to make the family gallery really shine.
