Senior Re-shoot

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Paul’s mom and I decided on a reshoot of his Senior pictures because he had pink eye the day we shot the original ones.  Since it was so close to graduation, we had to put the shoot off until the summer, so yesterday was the day!

My own little man

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

This is my little guy, Hayden. He’ll be 3 in mid-October, just a couple of weeks before he becomes a big brother!

I don’t post pictures of him often because its pretty hard to get pictures of your own child, especially when I’m trying to get “good” pictures of him. He just isn’t very cooperative! However, I had this idea today and had to try it out. It was a lot of fun for both him and I and I feel like I really captured his personality.

If you enjoyed these photos and would like some similar to this of your own children, contact me about booking an on-location session. These photos can be easily recreated in your own home, we could even incorporate the whole family!

This one is a bit distracting with his leg sticking up on the left side, but I LOVE his expression!

Mary’s Dance Photos

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I don’t usually take studio shots of older children b/c I don’t really have the room, but Mary is the daughter of a friend that I’ve know since 8th grade, so I couldn’t say no when she asked me to take pictures for her!  And she’s such a beautiful little girl, I really couldn’t resist!

Quinlan turns 1!

Remember Ms. Quinlan 6 months ago?

This is Quinlan now, already a year old!

Ethan’s One Year Portraits

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Whew! Taking pictures of a one year old can be tough, especially when they are walking. Ethan was NO different, but he did great, especially since we were taking pictures for over an hour, I’m sure (outfit changes, backdrop changes, etc) He is such a doll, though, and I can’t believe he’s already a year old!

This book contains every proof from your gallery and features a custom cover. The pages are 4×6 but the photos have a 1/4″ frame (your choice of black or white) around them to allow room for the binding. The front of the proof book features a clear cover and the back is thick black cardboard.

The proof book is also available in 5×7.

New Product - Hardcover Books

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Not exactly “new” because I’ve been carrying them, but I’ve never had a sample to show clients and I received my first sample today. I’m very excited about these products and I think you guys will love them.

Hardcover coffee table brag books are available in 5×5, 7×7 and 8.5×11 sizes, each one featuring a custom designed photo cover. The 5×5 book, which I have photos of, will include all photographs from your session, beautiful framed and presented in this little carry-around brag book. They are the perfect memento of your session and a beautiful way to present your photographs. The larger-sized albums will feature more custom pages that can feature more than one photo on a page. These would be a good choice for wedding albums or for Seniors.

Each album features a custom-designed photograph cover:

Pages are stitched together into the cover:

Spine of book contains title and date, or any custom text you desire:

Photos can be black and white or color, or a mixture of the two.

5×5 album is the perfect size to carry around, its about the size of a CD case:
