Over the weekend, I forced my children in front of the camera for some Valentine’s Day pictures to get working on the cards for their exchanges at school/daycare. After a few shots, my Sammers pulled out his dino tail. Each boy got one for Christmas, made by their Auntie, and they are awesome! At first I was thinking the dino tail shots would be outtakes, but the more I look at it…this might be the winning shot for Sam’s Valentine! (Contact me if you are interested in your own custom Valentines!)

Have a great week!

Happy New Year! Yes, I’m running a little late

Looking back on 2011, I am absolutely humbled by what my little business has become. In 2011, 39 families invited me into their lives to capture memories of their newborns, children, families, and pets, and I joined 2 amazing photographers (Tiffany Brubaker Photography and Bliss Photography) to celebrate 3 beautiful weddings. I can’t express how much I have adored these experiences.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

2011 was also a very challenging year, as I attempted to balance up a full-time career, 3 active kids, a relationship with my husband, up to 6 sessions in a week, with the editing, order fulfillment, and administration that goes with running a business. To say I was running on empty by the end of the year is an understatement. Changes are necessary for me to keep doing what I love, and that is spending time behind the camera with these amazing families. I hope to be able to fit in just as many sessions, but I need to spread them out better.

That’s it for now. No major pricing changes, just a few tweaks to ease the back end for me. There will also be some website changes coming in the next month, a special winter mini-session offer (like last year) and period specials on Facebook.

Now, how about a sneak peek of my holiday card (which is still unsent, on my counter–yes, it has been a busy couple of months!)

2 more graduates of my baby plan Jack and Hunter are a very fun, one!
We started with a few snow pictures for these winter babies.

Then a few warmer pictures…

Finally, the fun ones! Cake smash! These boys know how to do it right. I wish I had space to share just about every frame from the cake smash!

Max was one of my first baby planners, and now he is already 2! It has been awesome to watch him grow into the little charmer he is today. Lots to share, because I have so many favorites!

Peek-a-boo! Look at those little hands, already transitioning from chubby baby hands to slim boy hands.


Silly boy

I love his lashes!

Thanks for sharing your boy with me again Jenna!
